Don't know why that happened, but it is working again now. I certainly am nowhere near the 15M that Geocities limits you to.

Here is why that was happening:

Dear GeoCities Member,

Congratulations, http://www.geocities.com/jeff_g_ny seems to be very popular and has been receiving a large amount of traffic.

Our records indicate that you're using more than the allotted amount of data transfer we provide for a free web site, which is 3 gigabytes per month (measured on an hourly basis). That means that during the past few days we had to temporarily turn your site off to keep the bandwidth within this limit.

What can I do?

Keep in mind that large files such as images and multimedia files can effect your data transfer greatly. A single web page that contains 200,000 bytes of images will only be able to be viewed about 20-25 times an hour. By keeping your file sizes and page sizes as small as possible, you can maximize the amount of page views your site can produce.


So if you get the message Sludge refers to in post #2, I hope you'll check out the pictures later.

I love how it tells me it can't allow me to see the images because of bandwidth restrictions, yet it'll show me the Flash ad for Yahoo personals (which is by no measure "small") encouraging me to find someone to wake up with...

Don't get me wrong here JeffG, but I sure hope you don't get to show us World Series pictures next year! :-)

JeffG, great photos. Been to the stadium many times, but never had the priviledge of going to the World Series. Lucky you, and thanks for sharing.
Species, hope your pictures include the Yanks celebrating another chamionship.

Thanks for sharing your photos JeffG!! Must have been a blast! Great shots from your seats...man I'm jealous, and I'm not even a Yankee fan!

BTW, I had the same experience with GeoCities, posting photos, and bandwidth usage. Frustrating and embarassing! I simply replied to that e-mail you quoted with a simple "Thanks, you suck!" Probably didn't get noticed, but what they hay....
