Hi,
I am thinking about the possibility of allowing people to post images to the site directly.
This would mean that you could just click on a attach button, and the image would appear in your post, stored on the allotments4all site !
No need for hp photo or yahoo etc.
I am trying to gauge if people would be interested in this, unfortunately I would have to charge for this.
There would be no compulsion, and I would not stop people posting images as they do now for free
, this would just be an easier option for anyone who wanted to take it up.
Let me know if you think it's a good idea, and if you would pay for the facility.
Cheers
Dan
Let me make myself a bit clearer - any charge would be optional, only made to people who wanted to post images directly, everyone would still be able to access the site, and post images the current way for free.

Thanks for the continual upgrading of the site Dan. Personally (after initial difficuties) I now have no problems posting, so I am quite happy to leave things as they are. However I would go with the majority if it means we can still post to this site.
Cheers Mimi

Hi Dan, feel the same as Mimi. Now that I have mastered posting piccies, no real need, but if the majority want to have it, then I would be happy to pay.
Keep up the good work, and thanks for asking us what we would like!!

Sounds a great idea - some people have trouble getting images posted.
However i for one am happy as things are since I have no problems posting pictures. Viewing them is another matter, you would have to make sure the software you use to veiw/post store the pics was compatable enough to allow everyone to use it.

Richard,
I think the only problem viewing pictures arises when the server they are stored on - for example some people use hpphoto - has a glitch, or people post temporary links.
Do you have particular problems with some pictures?
What browser / operating system do you use?
I now someone views the site via television (don't ask me how they do it) - and I'm not sure how compatible that is!
Cheers
Dan

Hi Dan - perhaps, if the majority decide on the status quo, we could have a tutorial on 'how to post images' for newbies and technophobes (like me) ?

I am one of the people that are having problems. I feel such a thickie as I have been given lots of advice (thanks everyone), but still don't seem to have mastered it. (I blame the menopause)! So, if you can do anything to help me do more posting of my pics, some easier way, even for me. I for one would welcome it. Thanks Dan! busy_lizzie :-[ :-[

I've enabled image attachment on the new test board at,
www.danfulton.com/a4a/a4a
Have a look at it, and see what you think, I will say again that this would be in addition to free image posting as we have now.
Cheers
Dan
PS
If you try it out, note that the image uploaded must be less than 100K in size.

allotment_chick,
There is already quite allot of advice and help about posting images in the gallery.
I am not avoiding helping, but I've found that any explanations I give always end up being to techy for people to follow.
Much better advice than I can give is given by fellow members !
Cheers
Dan

Dan - what nonsense - we've gained SO much from your patient hair pulling advice.
Must try the 'new' picture thing, but can't immediately figure how to approach it. = Tim
PS - Gave my vote without really appreciating the workings of your system. Rather, what I was finally used to.

Was going to test this out, got a picture ready and everything, but couldnt do it.
Please see my other post in 'News - test of new software' thread for details.

just tested image posting on the test site. Looks good. Easy to do. Should help you folks who have problems posting by other means.
