Actually Dave, we would prefer that banners are hosted on a server, and not actually on the OWForums database.
Using the database attachments in banners, will cause the database to increase it's load emensly, as it has to perform two queries per download, which means EVERYTIME it is viewed/downloaded.
The way that myself and Kristen use is the prefered way, even though it is on the same server, downloading them via the file system method saves us in the end.
Oh, and, you naughty boy Dave! How could you make it a banner in an attachment!
