Hi all..I recently got a VU SS ute..I have had a lot of cars..and I love this thing!..
Is the only way to post pics on here through a web hosting service?..dammed annoying if it is..hate that way of posting..I have gotten up to page 70 of this thread..and many pics are missing that were hosted..hopefully there is another way..if not..the site needs to be updated to be able to directly upload pics..

Cheers.

Model VU8VK80-062-8BB
Trim 81I
Paint K025
Build NOV01
Eng LS1
Trans MM6
Susp FE2
Axle G89

Thanks in advance,

Yes, you need to use a hosting service but now that free sites like Photobucket are available pics should only disappear if someone specifically deletes them. Previously people used to use their company servers or someone's private server and then they would often soon be deleted due to lack of space.

Please feel free to PM your bank account details to the Owner so the cost of hosting such an image server can be paid for.

There are plenty of forums that allow users to upload pics..has more to do with site coding..nothing to do with money..web hosts go bust all the time..so its in the forums own interests to have the pics on the site..go and check all the early pages of this thread..HEAPS are missing..
It no big deal..just a bit more of a hassle to post pics..

ps Be nice!

Those forums usually also have either lots of advertising ( type) or charge users a membership fee. As this site is a NFP site we are limited in the way we can raise funds to keep the server running.
Unfortunately it does have a lot more to do with money than coding. To enable hosting it requires no more coding effort than to turn on the option in the software, but someone has to pay for that HUGE increase in bandwidth usage that would come with it.
Were you aware that we once did supply a forum image host, but it was removed due to bandwidth cost blowouts? No?
The early posted images have disappeared because they were posted over 4 years ago, many on the image server supplied and paid for by one of the forum Moderators Haroc. People went overboard with image sizes, hotlinking on other sites etc and costs of running it skyrocketed, so it was closed down.

ps Be nice!

There was nothing in my earlier reply that wasn't nice.

I just don't appreciate it when someone, who has been a member for a relatively short time, comes on and starts commenting about how the site should be run, without knowing anything about the forum financials, what has been tried before and removed etc. in the many years before they joined.

It may be more of a hassle for you to upload to Photobucket and then post the link here, but as I said before, unless you are willing to put up the $$ for the extra bandwidth yourself, that how it has to be.
