Hi Administrators
Just little red crosses instead of photos now, but only on some posts, including my own? what do I need to do?
Thanks, Basto

when we changed over to a grid server, the speed went up but the address for the photos changed.  i need to find out what that new address is.  still catching up.  standby.......

Thanks for bringing that up about the red x.
I thought it was just my computer illeteracy, as I have seen these on other sites as well and people alluding to a photo of the topic that I just could not bring up no matter what I tried.

This gets me off the hook for not posting pictures.

well, we've been busted.  according to godaddy, we are allowed 1000 uploads total.  that's it. we have 2700 photos, thumbnails and avatars.  i am going to try to convert the 2400 non-avatar uploads to regular photos that i will host here.  for the rest of the photos, you will have to host them on photobucket or picasa, or some other photo hosting service.  this is really gonna be a mess.  apparently our little website is stretching the limits of what godaddy can offer for $45 per year.  to truly go unlimited, we are looking at $10,000 a year.  that is not going to happen.

Why not?...go all the way. I could see how it wouldn't happen if one person was paying for it, it will only be a couple of dollars from each member if we all chip in.

In Utopia this would be the case, but the headache of getting 5000 of us to cough up $2.- (let alone the exchange of Pesos, Euros, Pounds, etc.) probably isn't worth the hassle.  Photobucket isn't that hard to use.  Most of us have a kid/grand kid to show us the way...  For a free site we're doing pretty good.  Thanks again Alan.

Today it's not that hard to do so.

naw, we're just going to have to have people host their photos on another site and use the [img] function to view it here.  it's better that way in the long term.  we would also just be giving money to godaddy.  they've been very helpful to me throughout this server move, but i consider them already paid in full.  and lastly, i want to keep this a free site.  it makes my life easier.

Did you get a chance to talk to Danica ? The Go Daddy super bowl commercials are the best, and the "too wild" for tv ones are great too.
