Holy $%#§! <br>
I knew that! <span class="moz-smiley-s6"><span> :-[ </span></span><br>
So there would be no additional server load due to photos. <span
class="moz-smiley-s11"><span> 8-) </span></span><br>
Perhaps (if there is such an animal) the optimal solution would be a
forum type interface, where all posts are forwarded to subscribers,
with the option for subscribers to cancel forwarding from threads they
aren't interested in...is this possible?<br>
I tried 'subscribing' to some forum threads at GC.com, but all I got
was a notification that someone had posted in the thread. Good to know,
but I'd rather see what was actually posted as I read my EMail.<br>

simply links to images stored in other locations, like websites such as
<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://Photobucket.com">Photobucket.com</a>.
That site, like others, actually gives you a link that you can insert
to your post that will place the image to autoload into your post.

While I can and I do use that in my postings in the listserv, when used
in forums, it's not a link you have to follow... the image is
downloaded as the thread is downloaded from the server and inserted
specifically where you place the insertion. This requires no local
server space other than a line of text redirecting the browser to pull
the image from an alternate source.

Oh yeah, sites like photobucket have free accounts. I'm sure there is
a limit to how much you can upload with the free account, but I haven't
found it yet.<br>
