Well Bandwidth costs money lots of money. I will continue to post pics from my own server. I am sending cliff 7.50 per month US Funds to help out keep the forum up and running. I dont want to see Pics go away, it would just be best that the people that have the ability to post pics remotly to do it at least for a short time. ------------------

I think everyone of us can help by either hosting our own sig or not putting a pic in it... The downside of course is that the PFF on CD will not contain all the cool images it use to. [insert sad face] ------------------
If you find my advice useful, then please give me a positive rating, thanks...

does money buy more bandwidth?
I spend time on here every day and have for about three years now--I know I would not be opposed to paying $12dollars a year for this privelage. Several thousand members times $1 dollar a month equals several tousand dollars to Mr Pennock.
The pics have been invaluable sometimes at helping with tech problems or giving new ideas and inspiration. I would hate to see them go!

Cliff, did you get my PM regarding the sig pics? IF not... If you are facing astronomical costs for bandwidth because of the PIPs and PFF's hosting of pics, I think you should get rid of them altogether. 99% of the IP providers out there today offer free web space / file locker per email address that you can upload images into and they are accessible via image links from other sites such as message boards. Cheaper for you, easier for me to just upload the pictures to my web box and then just link to them in the thread on PFF. ------------------

Hey, I don't know if it would work, but what if everyone got a geocities account. There is a limited size to how much you can upload, but its free and there's no reason you cant have accounts like "bryson1" "bryson2" and so on. I don't know if this would work or not because I don't know a whole lot about computers, but if I could figure out how to use geocities as a server then I would in a heartbeat to keep this forum alive. The pictures really make the topics much easier to understand. "Over behind the drivers side under the plenum to the left of that black wire but on top of this sensor" is much more difficult than saying "right here [img] ... [img/] Anyway, I hope my idea, even if it won't work, might spur someone else to have a similar idea.

Geocities, and some other free services prohibit remote linking, which means you can view the pictures by navigating to a geocities page, but you can't link them here and have them pulled to show up in a thread. However, posting them on *other* personal web space works just fine.

Yeah..........the problem with that is now the rest of the crowd has to scale accross the screen ALL THE TIME to see the image and read the other posts which is a real PITA ...........so SCALE THEM DOWN........
and changing the resolution isn't an option, it's already so damn small you need a magnifying glass.
