I like having those around! Likewise, some of the classic "post something funny" type threads could lose a lot of content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that I know, if I post a pic I'll have to find a hosting site to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is badgering even a thing? Isn't @Digital_photog from Wisconsin? I'd bet he'd know. Or is that @smudge? It's Wisconsin Badgers, and Michigan Wolverines. Smudge is a Wolverine.

I gotta make sure save that dog on the kitchen cabinet that is tired of going on walks. Although chances are it is cached on the inter webs.

Square Wheels Posted April 8, 2020 Share #65 Posted April 8, 2020 So, the plan wasn't for everyone to delete all of their images. I set the allowance per user to a fairly generous 1.2gb. That's a lot of uploads. Most people don't upload anywhere near that, so if the heavy users stay under the 1.2gb (which they have to) we have plenty of space. I don't want people to feel they can't post pics. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went through and deleted some old ones that were either very large, repeats or in threads that didn't have any particular meaning. I kept the more recent ones that may still be read or ones in threads that I particularly liked. I appreciate the ability to post pictures, but some of the old pics didn't need to be saved. This will also let me post new pics when I have a chance to go somewhere and take pictures without worrying about uploading them. Thanks again for all you do to keep the site up and running. I had some free time anyway so it's a good chance to go through the pics. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't hard to resize pictures to 100 to 200k. Pictures can look very good at that size and won't overload a server or bandwidth very fast. I appreciate small pictures when I am in the UP to run sled dogs. I don't have a very good connection and it makes it load much faster. I do like seeing other peoples pictures but I don't think 3 or more year old pictures were going to be looked at and it was a waste of space to store them. For me I hope people still do post new pictures. That is part of what make this place fun. Keeping file size down as much as possible is good for all of us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddmaxx ★ Posted April 8, 2020 Share #69 Posted April 8, 2020 I'll post new pictures, but as I said earlier IMO those pics of things I did in 2015 are outdated. If you missed the pics of the trip to Malaysia I'll gladly post more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Posted April 9, 2020 Share #70 Posted April 9, 2020 I agree. I love seeing people post pictures. It helps me get to know them to see their neighborhoods, pets, family and travel destinations. Or some of the pics are cute or beautiful and can brighten an otherwise dreary day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
