OK When I was in School Today ( Yes I still go to school) I had a chat with one of the teacher's that's a techy and brought this subject to him. After a long chat about the pro's and con's I have decided to allow both.
With todays computers tablets/smartphones more and more people now use a SkyDrive and image hosting for storage. Its the way people store information. I will still continue to ask if you could please use the add attachment on this forum.
I also understand that many will have all their images on a image host site and its double the work to use out up loader.
Once in a while I will see a very good post and I may add thumbnails to the post but will keep your images intact.
So from now on you may use image hosting, please try and keep the images to a size that will not slow down the forum, One member had images from Flicker that were 13.5MB and took a long time to load.
Yes there is a continuity plan for TSF my wife knows about it and I have a note in my album which on my death the admin password and information will be passed along to the moderators.
In case I turn sick and unable to get to the computer the mods have access to the forum and also my email that my wife will check. So if I sick and unable to be a admin the mod team will look after the forum.
About bandwidth the generous donation that member have given are used to cover that cost and also keep the site add free.
I am looking at a different platform, but I never thought the forum would have been as successful as it has been.
To be honest I thought maybe a dozen people would have joined a few posts made and that be it. I am blown away buy the activity and the numbers that have joined.
Please also realise I am very new to this admin thing, its a learning curve, its very different when you are behind the wheel of a forum. Sometimes you have a ideal but it may not be the best. I just want to make sure this forum is well run and become something people will enjoy to visit and spend time.
I will still keep the poll running, but after a hard think about the images I feel that allowing both will be in the best interest of the forum. But please if you can use the add attachment. We are working about making the thumbnails larger. I have a tech member working on that in a test forum and once we find a solution it will be introduce to the forum.
Thanks
Admin
