Because we have this new server that seems to be running so well, I thought it would be nice to give you guys an increase in our Community Gallery. The previous quota was 1 MB per user. That has now been increased to 10 MB per user. Plenty of room to upload a nice-sized collection of images "celebrating our community and The Wheel of Time".
