Question to Doug --- if one posts directly to the forum instead of linking to a place like photobucket, does that give over the rights to the photo?
I know someone who had a real problem with that on another forum?

The copyright owner remains the same either way. Many/most internet sites that I'm aware of - with user created content or submissions - have
something in their posting/user rules that allow them the ability to publish/republish the material. Even the NY Times:

Hope this answers your question.

Have two things ahead of it on the list of things to do here (and they need to be done in a linear order)... but have intentions of updating some
things here - which would then allow:
- Multiple attachments per post.
- Photo attachments to become thumbnails.
- Larger file sizes for attachments.

Excuse my ignorance, Doug ( I know you are aware of it).
But what difference would it make to have a photo as a thumbnail?
I can already click on someone else's photo and save it to my iPhoto album.

The page(s) would load quicker - and individuals could pick and choose which photos they want to see at higher resolutions. It would also help with
the layout of each page, and help avoid having the borders (or wide dimensions) of the images pushing the forum pages wide.
See example below.
fyi,

This would be very sweet; on this site where a lot of users access it over expensive cell phone or satellite links with limited bandwidth quotas, I've
wondered at the effect on those poor souls when someone posts a long run of gratuitous imbedded images in the forums where one doesn't normally
expect that. No easy way to filter them out, unless one simply turns off ALL images...
Showing thumbnails by default would be more user-friendly. |
Photos posted are in their own links created by the Nomad who starts a thread or by those who reply to a new thread, and not on the main forum page or
'Today's Posts' page. If you click on a trip report or the Baja Photo page, expect to see photos and if they are taking long to open, or you don't
want to see photos, click back to the main forum.
