Comment by Christine McSorley(nee Jones) on April 24, 2009 at 6:10am: I can't see any pictures up now? I put two pictures in (not the best I am sure) but I am not a proffessional I just liked the pictures I had of North Wales are they included or not??

Comment by Peter Lewis on April 8, 2009 at 10:00am: Tam, I have made Googles Picasa site work well for me, and linked here to pics on that site.

Comment by gaabi on January 26, 2009 at 11:07am: No, sorry, not yet - don't host it on your profile page. We have to work out increasing our file limit, which isn't done yet. You can host it outside the network and post a link in a discussion here.

You can get a Picasa through google through flikr.com

Comment by Peter Lewis on January 26, 2009 at 10:54am: Lacking another website to link to, can I link to http://americymru.ning.com/profile/Peter
These ning pages seem to have a higher limit, but would you know which pic on the page I'm entering?

Oh Oh, time to join the 21st century and get a webpage!

Comment by gaabi on January 26, 2009 at 10:49am: Hey, Peter -

Absolutely - you can host them on another url and link here - just put the link in a discussion. Yes, 50k is nothing but we're limited on the amount of space we have available on ning's servers, and I'm very sorry about that, that's why I put in the option to link it from somewhere else. We're looking into what we can do to raise the limit here and as soon as I can, I'll change this.

Comment by Peter Lewis on January 26, 2009 at 10:25am: I'm not sure a 50kb size limit is so good for a photo contest. Fine for the Pirates... they don't need to look all that good! But I haven't been able to compress any good landscape photos that small without really lowering the image quality. The image size limit on personal pages is 10mb after all. Can we somehow link to a picture on our personal page? Or perhaps raise the photo contest size limit to say 2mb?
