: Well, I do mind. When this forum gets full, it means that I can't use my mail boxes anymore and that I can't put up anything anymore on my web sites.

Oh, I didnt think about that. I will make sure I dont put up too many images and keep them small. My camera doesnt work well so I couldnt take action photos right now anyways. Can you delete old information if it starts to get full? Or get an external drive? Some sites make you put a link up to photos. Would that help instead of having them downloaded here? I assume photos take up the most information?

 Hi all,

I finally got my scanner to work and scanned a ton of pictures. I apologize up front because I have no way to share these pics with out starting a new thread for every pic. I am torn because I want to share these pics, but also don't want to clog the forum. I guess you can ignore my posts if you want. I am sure some people will appreciate these pics. When I travelled Europe, I met some amazing rollerskaters and I am guessing some of you know them. I became friends with Alex and David in Madrid Spain. Toto Ghali and many other cool skaters in Marsaielle France and Martin Broich in Munster Germany. I will just make a post for every pic and give a brief explanation. I apologize for taking up so much space and the editing on the pics is not very good. This first pic is me when I was a young grom.

That's very considerate of you.

: My camera doesnt work well so I couldnt take action photos right now anyways.

Probably a digital compact camera. Those are often very sluggish. 30 years old compact cameras are often very much snappier. I took the pics from the Green Ramp Jam with such a camera (an Olympud XA 3). I love those cameras!

Well, I can, but it would break my heart of course. ;-)

: Or get an external drive?

I can buy additional web space and probably will if need arises. I had to change my web hoster already two years ago because of space problems. The old hoster was a premium business hoster but it would have gotten way to expensive to get more space from him. The hoster I use now is less expensive with more space and the service is good.

: Some sites make you put a link up to photos. Would that help instead of having them downloaded here? I assume photos take up the most information?

You are quite right. A link takes up less than 50 bytes, a photo normally is 1000 times as big. We just use the bandwidth of the site where the photo is hosted, then. Shouldn't be a problem, because we don't generate that much traffic. But I needed to cut off some pages from using photos from my site this way because the ate up to much of my bandwith. Not only is web space limited, but also bandwith (or fuel, or energy, or money, or anything).

The bottom line is: It is a pain uploading pics to this site and it is impossible to upload pics which exeed a certain size in KBytes. But it helps keeping the site running. And yes: Keep those pics coming!

If I'm ever not considerate, let me know! Sometimes I get too excited lol. This is my favorite site. :-D

Its just old. It jams up so a lot of times I need to take the batteries out, let it reset itself, then try again. I can only get 1-2 pictures taken at a time. It delays a lot too. Just need a new camera.

Agreed!

My brother is a computer geek. I'll ask him if he has ideas!
