Ron,

Just a question that I haven't seen asked so far. When people pull the pictures out of their galleries and re-size them for uploading again, won't they lose any remarks or comments that they have received? I have looked at a lot of very nice cars and pictures in various galleries and many of them have several nice comments, and deservedly so.

Thanks,

Ron

Yes, that's true.

Ron,

Is there a way you can resize our photo's as a group?

I just reviewed the software and I don't see a way to do that.
I see a mass delete, as was asked about earlier.

Let me look further and I'll let you know.

...as just another member here, I would like to ask that some of you lighten up a little bit on the Moderators here. These guys are not PAID to do this, they volunteered - and, typically, about all you get out of it is a bunch of complaints.

I have posted a lot of pictures on this site - I like to think that some of them have helped some of the members in their builds, or in the appreciation of the glory days of Shelby American. I figured out a long time ago, that the smaller your pictures are, the MORE pictures you can post. There have already been a couple good suggestions here for re-sizing your pictures - I use the MS Picture Resizing Powertool myself, and it works well. Yes, it was tedious and time consuming when I went back to re-input some of my older pics that were huge (and I lost views and comments). But, in the long run, it has allowed me to post an even greater variety of pictures.

Another thing to consider - when you upload a 1 or 2 meg picture to this site, you make yourself vulnerable to someone else on the internet to steal your picture and use it elsewhere (their website, bogus e-Bay auction, whatever). This has happened to me - nice historical pics I have posted here have been used by others - now, I don't mind somebody using my picture if they give me CREDIT for it, but, in most cases they don't. So I have begun using smaller pictures, and, for some of my better ones, I post a "copyright" tag across the photo somewhere.

Please be a little more courteous to the folks who have volunteered their time and energy to help keep this site one of the very best on the 'net.

regards,

Jeff Burgy

I have tried to be funny and polite with my questions/complaints. I hope nobody has taken offense at my posts! (ron and brent)

ignorance is definitely the name of the game here for me.
sorry!

At least you apologized to Ron...

We drive our Cobras because we can pass all that slow traffic with ease. This forum has been nothing less than helpful, entertaining and educating. A big thanks to all who make it possible. I sympathize with resizing dilema too.
I believe the possitive comments attached to the pic galleries are worn like a badge of recognition. I'd hate to lose the ones I have.

Everybody CHILL....The site is a work in progress, and they are trying to make it better for everyone overall. They are not intentionally trying to make everybody suffer. Give them sometime to get things in order, and set the frustration in the backseat. Let's enjoy what we have got here.

I'm closing this thread because, because there are already three sticky threads dealing with posting pictures on the All Cobra Talk thread page. All you have to do is read them.

The upshot of all this is that your problems were self-inflicted, but several of you chose to jump a moderator who was trying to explain what the problem was and to help you resolve it. Nice...real nice.
