upload storage area for common pics etc
« on: May 08, 2009, 10:52:55 am »
Pics tell a thousand words and have made the product review section invaluable imho.
some content e.g. product reviews etc is entirely dependent on users own storage.
I'm fine with this however if I leave, and/or change my storage the reviews will become incomplete.

For some areas it may be useful to provide a small amount of available upload space?
Pics can be limited to size x and jpeg optimised so wouldnt need much ?

thoughts ?

Storage isn't the issue, it's more the bandwidth of displaying the images.

But I agree if we want to keep the reviews threads then we need to host the images ourselfs.

I can put a section in the gallery for this purpose then you can link from there just like you would in your online photo account.

For now if you want to have your images hosted please email them to me (address is in my profile)  :happy2:
