Hello!

I saw the thread about adding photos to posts, and, honestly, I didn't even realize that was a feature on this board (using attachments to put pictures into posts). I've just been uploading to my server and hot-linking to images! I'm okay with people uploading images here as long as you keep some things in mind for all of us:

1. My hosting server says I have "unlimited" amounts of space, but that's actually not the case. I was recently warned that my account was in danger of being discontinued for "excessive file storage"--nearly a quarter of a million files! So I had to split myself into two different accounts to spread the files around.

2. To help me keep within my "unlimited" limits, please resize your images prior to attaching them so they are no larger than 800 pixels high or wide (and less than 200KB in size). No high-res 2MB images, please! Yes, the board will automatically add thumbnails you can click to enlarge, but if the original file is HUUUUUUGE, it will still eat up space on my server.

3. Remember that all photos need to be "family friendly" and fine for either gender to view without embarrassment. We have lots of young eyes here, and I'm not fond of TMI (too much information!). Our members are really great about sharing photos of even things like stays without being (ahem) "out there," so just keep up the good work.

Thanks!

Warmly,

Jennie
