Would it help with the photos if we started having them hosted off site on photobucket or something similar?
Thanks, yeah it's been a bluidy nuisance which isn't done yet, but we're getting there! Ref the pics, no, let's keep the status quo for the moment... things are obviously evolving and I'll sort this sooner rather than later. I've already increased the restrictions on posting pics, which may help. Let's all of us just keep a close eye on things.

Default I should add...

... that if you do want your pics to show up full-size, by all means use one of the hosting services and link to them. Otherwise we'll go with what we've got.

Default Be very careful of the photobucket type sites.

Hi Jordan

My son in-law has business of designing and running commercial web sites and he advises staying away from the photo storage sites, historically they have not been stable. Some have shut down and all the photos stored on the site were lost.

Cheers Phil

http://www.surfacezero.com/g503/index.php is non-commercial, run by enthusiasts, and has proven to be very stable.

And has CMP content!
