Excellent T!  I tried to lobby for this feature once or twice earlier but I don't think I got my point across what I was hoping for.

Ease of use encourages participation, participation does the vendors good because it brings people back and keeps them here so I see this as a big win if you can get it done.

As an example, to post one photos with a thread thru photobucket would take 5-10 minutes by the time I go logon, resize, get the IMG name, and get it into the text.  I can do the same in about 20 seconds with direct photo posting.

THANKS for looking into this feature!

therein lies other concerns such as image size.  it would make no real sense to have an post attachment upload without the forum software automatically resizing the thumbnailed image to 640 wide, and have it clickable to enlarge to its full size.  

this is a feature we are pursuing with third party programming.  not only would it be good for the posters, it's good for all of trad gang since now your images would reside on our server, always be available, and never get lost in shuffle on some photobucket server. [/b]

Well I have a vast knowledge of computers, as I am young and have grown up with them, but absolutely no knowledge on web stuff.  However on some sites they will just simply not let you attach files if they are too big!  I have absolutely no idea how they do it, but they do it,lol.  Anyway, I think the system the way it is is fine, but just thinking aloud

all of that is a function of the forum software.  you either have it as an option or you don't.  we don't.

yeah, kinda ironic, ain't it?

but then again, who of us is gonna give up our current, modern lifestyles and turn the clock back to yesteryear and live without a truck/car, indoor plumbing and electricity?

OOOO, kinda like trying to slow mo video with editing software, without slow mo, lol   , got it.

It is very ironic that we are not only talking about it, but almost dependent on the new high tech gizmos, lol

I am sure if we have to still use photobucket when this is all said and done, that we will most definatly survive

All the computer chatter is WAY over my head. I agree that pics really add to threads.

Regardless, love TG and anything that keeps things running smoothly is great by me.

Thanks again guys!

Well, you've done it again....you've wore out our server in about a year.  What was suppose to be the latest greatest wiz bang-quad cored-giga bite monster -super stratosphere server is now coming up lame.  I don't know how ya'll do it, but this is about the 5th time we've had to to upgrade in the last 7 years.            

I'll be talking to Rob again today and making a final decision....and He'll make a post about it once we figure it all out.

Wish us luck!!!                                

SWEET!!!

[Terry Green]

Thanks again......Rob will be making a post soon about the new server....over half of what he says you wont understand.  It wont matter, cause I won't know either.     :D
