I don't think it's changed that much over the years. There may be fewer post now but it seems to be related to what is posted. I personally don't care
if it stays or goes.

Most of us met each other thanks to forums such as Baja Nomad and Amigos de Baja, which preceded Nomad.
Thanks to Doug's work, ithis is still a valuable resource and a place for friendship making. Don't forget how we can also help each other in need.
Either by seeking help directly, or from distress messages on Spot or inReach satellite devices. When I get a request for assistance from one of you
off grid, at least by sharing it here, help is often soon on its way.

You are sooo right, David! That is why you are the King on Nomads.
BTW, we have been in San Felipe for ten days now and will be here until June of next year. Shell beach is not that far away!

I don't know what you are saying here, Larry. Sorry, some help please: "... but nobody can post" ?
Photo posting really isn't a hassle, otherwise I wouldn't hapily post photos for you here.
The main issue is getting the images from your camera (or phone) into your PC's pictures folder or on a photo hosting site. From there it is easy to
load onto Postimages.org with the 800 pixel width modifyer.

And then there are the posts that are almost impossible to decipher because the poster writes in run-on sentences with randomly inserted punctuation.

Absolutely.
My first piece of evidence is "Today's Posts" from 2008 when that list filled two pages.
When this thread eventually turns to politics accompanied with squabbling, that will be my second piece of evidence.

Looks like the topics have not changed in 14 years. Perhaps the topicality has burnt out.
These days FB and IG are much better for seeing other peeps vacation pics…
And the web has evolved, so many other places to get travel info now a days…
Woke!

No, this forum has the most convoluted process to post photos of any forum I have used. I have no issues getting images into my pictures folder,
that's easy. This is the only forum that requires users to load first onto another site.

And where are the instructions to be found for how to insert a photo? This forum doesn't even make that evident.

80kph and just after the restaurant and gas station. Am I right? No one seems to slow down until long after that. |
coming into town, the first 60 sign is shortly after the gas station
across from restaurant La Parcelita
24° 7'1.41"N, 110°25'50.19"W
6 more follow until the nursing school crossing
there you'll see a 40 sign
one more 60 sign at the beginning of Chametla
followed by a 40 sign before the crosswalk
after that the max speed remains 60 up to Walmart
speed limit on Abasolo is 40
I know all this is academic since nobody follows the rules anyway

Thanks Harald, that's a lot further in than I expected to see one, and now I know where the speed is expected to drop down from the quite unusually
high highway speeds, altho somehow I failed to see that particular sign. I slow down well before that first 60 sign you posted right at the curve to
La Ardila restaurant and the Pemex. And yeah, I agree...no one seems to do anywhere near the speed limits and seem to get quite upset I am slowing
their progress.

In the very first post in the Nomad Photo & Video Gallery forum. http://forums.bajanomad.com/viewthread.php?tid=65085
Hosts your large file-size images onto a free site with an easy one click adjustment to change the original width of your photo to the Nomad max of
800 pixels.
RF points out another way, above, but that is only good for photos that are under 342 kb. Most of today's photos are closer to 1,000 kb+!

Now see, that's what I mean about convoluted. Every other forum has the instructions for posting a photo or atrachment in the User info for the site
at the top of the home page. Not in some Photo Gallery section down below mixed in with a bunch of other forum sections.
I don't know why anyone needs to have their photos hosted onto a different photo site, which as I said, is
also convoluted. Most people have programs on their computers that can change the size of a photo.
RFClark- thanks for that info. I did try that once or twice, but maybe the photo was too large.

I didn't make the rules or set this site up.
I am just offering a method to allow anyone to post photos (no matter how 'big' they are in file size or in pixel width) here.
I am not disagreeing with you about how Nomad has not made things easy for non-tech people to add photos.
My post has helped many here add their own photos and Doug did pin it to the TOP post in the Photos forum.
If you want to add photos with your posts without reducing its quality to under the 342 kb size limit for Nomad hosting (it used to be 50 kb), just
follow the steps... IT'S FREE TOO!
So, you don't feel pressured to go to te Photos forum, here are the instructions:
1) Go to www.Postimages.org, make an album if you want to organize your photos to find them easily in the future (by date or by subject). No cost to use
Postimages.org.
2) Change the upload setting from "Do not resize my image" to 640x480 (recommended for forums) or 800x600 (max. on Nomad). You click on the little
arrow to see the size choices.
3) Click "Choose images" and select the photos you want to put on Nomad from your Pictures folder.
4) Click on the image you want on Nomad and click on "Share" at the top of the screen.
5) Choose "Hotlinks for forums" (down next to the last one). You can click the little box at the right end of the link and it is now saved on your
mouse.
6) Go to Nomad and paste that link onto the place where you are typing on Nomad. You can put text in below the photo for a caption for your post and
if you double space between photo links (for clarity), you can put several photos and captions in a single post on Nomad. You can click "Preview" on
Nomad to check and see how it will look before posting to the board.
If you need to fix a post after it is done, click on "Edit" along the edge of your post, and change or delete your post. If you edit more than once,
you can delete the previous Edited on tags so only one edit tag will appear after you edit the post.
==============================================================
I am happy to help any Nomad understand my instructions or even post a photo for you if you have a problem doing it. At least try... Don't skip any of
the steps, especailly #2.

Is there some reason that posts cannot be moderated or users blocked by the reader? It’s common on other forums.
I find Baja Nomad much more user-friendly than FB. I share the frustration with abusive posts, but surely there’s a better answer than closing
down.
