Thanks for the Photo forum

Thanks for creating the photo forum.

One problem with it is that you can only post photos of 19.5 kb. I realize that bandwidth isn't free...so what can be done to increase that limit to something usable?

Is the Google AdSense paying for the costs of this forum, or do you need some of us to pony up some funds for more bandwidth? I'd like to be able to post regular sized photos here.

I had to hotlink the photo of my facility that I posted; I would rather post it as an attachment.

Compress your pics into a .zip file, then post the .zip as an attachment. You can do this by copying all of your pics into one folder, then compressing the folder into a .zip file. Windows XP makes it very easy to do by right-clicking on the folder and selecting "Send To" + "Compressed (zipped) Folder."

I don't think that bandwidth is as much an issue as is storage space. Cory?

it is function... forums aren't meant to be galleries without addons or the such (and the gallery for vbulletin is about 200.00 bucks :P)

You can insert images into posts using bbcode
