Hmm maybe we can hash out some rules on the size of the photos posted here etc etc?

I would prefer it if you didn't add huge files too much into the DB - yes file attachments go into the db. And I have to download this thing to back it up
Working on the Theory that most of you have access to private web spaces - those of you that don't contact me and I can probably sort something out for you - give me a few days, and I'll see if can sort a 'thumbnail' img tag. so if you have nice big images, maybe upload a smaller - lets say for example 640x480 (or smaller) image with the ability to click and open up to the full thumbnail.
Just to give you an Idea, the Forum sql dump is already at close to 500MB - and we all know how burst is with maintaining lots of space on the sql drive

English doesn't borrow from other languages. It follows them down dark alleys, knocks them over, and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.

Hmmm, relatively few people involved in the new forum startup, and I know there are a lot of MURCers from amateur to professional in this field. It would be good if we had more input, consensus and expertise from all.
Ant, can you put up a few annoucements of the new forum on the home page and wherever else it might catch attention?
I've noticed that most people go straight to their favorite hang outs and otherwise ignore the rest, and whereas they they might be very interested in digital imaging, they would never notice this forum's existence.How can you possibly take anything seriously?
Who cares?

Mutz:
1. Hmm, I think the maximum resolution will have to depend more on the resolutions people use. If 1024x768 requires people to scroll sideways too often, it becomes a bit annoying to watch them. I personally wouldn't go over 800x600.
2. The forum has just been started; it still is weekend. People will come (and if not, we could simply announce the forum in the other ones)
Sasq:
1. You mean I can't attach my TIFF files (3002x2000, 16 bit colour => 36 MB) ?
2. Oh, is it possible to display information about the size of a thread, so that you know which treads might take some time to load ? (just a thought)
I really like the thumbnail-idea !
Jörg
PS: Thanks to Ant, Sasq, and all the others involved for setting this up ! Also to dbdg for the space !
