Your Attachments Slow the Site

Here at PPCGeeks as you may or may not know, there is a service where you can attach attachments to your posts. However, in case you were unaware, this takes up space and good potentially slow the site down. This may not happen for a while, but we should always be conservative. So, if someone asks for a file that is already posted, right click the attachment, and then copy link location. Then paste it into your reply. If it were a 9MB .zip, then you just saved our site that much space. You could also redirect them to the post so the original poster can recieve due credit. This is done by clicking the post number (ex. This is post number 1 in this thread) in the top right of the post, and copy and pasting the URL. Thank you!
