I'm not sure but if the photo is save in photobucket would it have to upload the photo each time the thread is opened? That may use more bandwidth?

Cool Re: Is This A Banana Forum Or...

Randy I think one major point that you're missing is that the best part of this .org are the people who make it up. A lot of us have become very friendly over time and enjoy getting postcards ( for just one example)and posting them for all to see. There's a certain sense of camaraderie that occurs between all the good people here and it just spills over in to some of us posting snippets of our personal lives.... whats the harm? No one complained about the "post a pic of your pet" thread..... oops will that be deleted too now? Would you suggest the "tiki hut" be deleted? Maybe the "chat" too since that can stray from the limited subject matter that you seem to be advocating lately. They're there for non banana related subjects and have been fun/ contentious and certainly entertaining at times.....its been many things but you can't say it was ever boring. To some it makes being here so much better knowing there's real people out there with similar interests. If bananas.org were to become a purely scientific and or subject resricted site as some out there seem to prefer the org wouldn't be near as good as its become. We all came here as fellow banana growers and we all continue to be. I dont see the harm in being able to talk and post freely as friends with varied interests with bananas as the common thread.

I think photo's / Albums should have regular individual maintenance. It's just like PM's you can only have 500 but why wait till your overloaded. I can see uploading something short-term but after its shared in a month delete it if its not pertinent to the sight. Perminent storage is for some other form of drive to be stored in a safe place. :^)

Well said Bob, and you too Pauly! My interests are much broader than just bananas & it's nice to know we can talk about anything here. Other forums that I have been too have the same thing...a place to talk about "anything". I enjoyed looking at Paulys artwork, & pets, & pics of members, & even members children! If we can ONLY talk about, or post pics of bananas, this forum would not be very active.

I agree with the logo thing too but it probably keeps people from having easy access to using other people's plant pictures for commercial gain.

I would not delete any existing pics
If you linked to them in any thread that picture is lost on the thread
That creates more of a problem

Better to just use photobucket or something else going forward
One site I'm on they require every picture to be uploaded to your album in order to have the picture on any post

I use photobucket so never upload any pics
Its easier to have the pics in one place when you are on multiple forums

Honest to goodness pictures of Randy's yard really inspired me. When I start planning my planting I go look at his pictures first. I don't know if I'll ever achieve what he has but last year was a lot better than the year before and I hope this year is better yet. He is way organized on photo bucket too and maybe one day I'll get better organized there.

I hear you on the photo bucket disorganization... I loaded up so many pics over the years just so I would have another copy of them somewhere besides hard drives that could die and its a mess. My wife keeps saying she will organize if for me, but then again I think I have too many things that I need her to organize and the pictures are not very high on the list. LOL
