Don't know if this has been asked before, but when did this site first appear on the 'Web?

Wow, it's been that long! Great place to "bench race" and pick up a thing or two....Sure beats "Repeat" cable TV to spend your free time on......Keep it going and try not to change.....too much!

I can't think of but two things I'd change about this site; it was apparently so well-thought-out before it was put into operation, the way I see it, not much in the way of change is needed, even after all these years!

1. I think that most long-term posters on here agree that a change to "real names" would benefit the credibility of the posts here. I can't see an up-side to anonymous postings, and plenty of downsides.

2. The photo-posting system could be better, at least, for me. I have tried using Photobucket and my pictures still come out small, as thumbnails, and when clicked on, they get bigger, but are still smallish.

Some people are able to post full-page pictures that would seem to be outside the very restrictive size-limits of the posting rules; how they are able to do that is a mystery to me. I would be more than willing to pay some sort of surcharge to post my pictures just as they exist on my hard drive, without having to reduce them in size, if that were possible. I know that bandwidth costs money.

But, those two changes are precious little in the way of modifications to a well-thought-out Board that seems to work exccedingly well for most of us.

I'd be lost without it!

Thanks, and kudos to the Moderators and Admininstrator for a job well done!!!

The pics I post from photobucket, and are full size are done using the links from photobucket and not attached from my hard drive. The attachment from hard drive sounds like the issue you describe. Have you tried the different links?
