Crazy Weather!!

'Allo Jon got a new camera? Or have you found out how to upload your pix to the site? In view of the picture being worth many postings, is it feasable to extend the site to have a gallery?
Busted BX bits, Xpired Xantiae, glamourous Goddesses, Broken Blingos and members' repairs.
It could be worth a thought.

Tom,
Its always been possible to post images in these Forums (as Admin we just had to turn the feature on, which I did some ago!)I was always unsure about having the feature enabled on the grounds it would take ages for the pictures to open, and would also cost us bandwidth.
As the Forum now sits on a decicated server with oodles of monthly bandwidth allowed, and so many people have Broadband access, we decided to roll with the pictures feature.
The Admin and moderators also have to be careful that unsuitable pictures are not posted.
If you have a digital camera, broadband and some web hosting (I do) its possible to do like I did with the snow picture above, it was on the Forum about 2 mins after I took it. This will be useful for technical postings, we could identify a part on the basis of a photo, or maybe give step by step instructions on a particular job. I need to check that a new Forum thats full of Image topics won't make the rest of the Forum slow, I'll check this point out and if all goes well we'll add the extra Forum in the near future?

Jon,
I get Toms point with the gallery, however I think with pics be they on postings or in a gallery, it would be a better proposition to have them posted as thumbnails that pop up in a seperate window so we don't have to scroll sideways to read the rest of the messages in the thread as often happens.
Is this feasible?
