How about a Photo Gallery, Any interest in this
I 'm a new member here and I belong to other forums which show a photo gallery of their cars, motorcycles etc. I just wanted to throw the idea out there if any members would like to show their beautiful T Birds..... Could there be a section in our forum just for this.

Re: How about a Photo Gallery, Any interest in this
Seems like an interesting idea to me. There are similar posts in the Square-Bird and Bullet-Bird sections. but are several pages back, and were quite popular. A thumbnail gallery might be interesting, but our forum does not store any pictures on its website so a photo gallery may not be possible.

Re: How about a Photo Gallery, Any interest in this
Being that you're one of our highly-paid executives Joe, any idea how involved/costly it would be for us to get some webspace for this forum? Personally I'd be willing to front some of the expense to make that happen, and I suspect others would be too.

It's above my pay grade to be in the know about such things, but I can forward your request to those who may be able to help. We'll see what happens!!

The official VTCI reply as follows:

phpBB can support this, but it's been VTCI policy to avoid. If that directive changes then I can look to enable in some/all forums. I believe I can set image size limits, quotas, etc.
Thanks.

I imagine the VTCI policy stems from a desire to avoid having advertising on the forum, which I appreciate. But if we could round up enough members willing to pony up whatever it costs to get us some webspace I don't see the harm.
Well thanks for checking anyway Joe. Now go relax in the sun with a nice Manhattan!

Re: How about a Photo Gallery, Any interest in this
Hi all that has weighed in on this issue. First of all... we pay $280 annually for this website. VTCI works with very little money and we only have 4.88 gig to work with. Yep, Brian can set up so the photos are not too large but then I get the complaints of members not being about to figure out how to downsize them so the forum will accept them. THEN... 4.88 gig is a very small number when we talk about adding photos on this website. There would be so many eventually that we would run out of room and have to remove some. Then people trying to access the photos that had to be removed would be an even bigger problem. This is why we do not host photos on this site. There are plenty instructions how to add photos by uploading to other sites and linking them to your article. Sorry but that's the way it has to be. We don't and won't ever sell advertising, the only advertising we do is Thunderbird related stores that advertise in the Scoop. This is a member driven site and club and will never accept ads.
