Great news for the Valentine fans.

When did they slip these into the line up.I don't remember seeing them mentioned. Plenty of "staff" to make this year.

Yeah this happens it seems. I post images, such as these from the Miniart web site and they appear fine, then later on nothing but icons. It's almost like somebody goes behind breaking the link

Why would they? It makes no sense as its promoting their products to do so.

P.S. Just checked another site where I posted same image, gone there to. A bit of a short sighted view in my opinion, unless its something to do with causing server problems.

Short answer... bandwidth. Site like our get a lot of hits and the bandwidth caused by forum posts like this one can really add up. Especially if they haven't sized the photos for the web (but that's not the case here).
