It is advisable that you do not use attachments as banners. It adds extra unneccessary queries to the forums. Which strains the MySQL side of the server.
While they can be okay for attachments that are only ever used in a thread, because it only opens it when it is requested from the thread. Banner attachments load everytime the banner is seen.
The reason you see some banners with thousands of views is because it's being viewed every post by that person, by every person here.
Yes, I understand that was a long post...
