Yes, David P - Please DO tell us if we can no longer attach image files =
to our Postings!! I, for one, cannot access these images unless they are =
appended to the Posting as I have no access to the PTG site. Apparently =
I need a login "Name" and a "Password" and I have neither. I am the =
great "nameless one" who shall be remembered for ever.... I'm off to =
Verona on Saturday and then to Norfolk so I shall have to go "off-list" =
pro tem. until September. Au revoir! Larevedere! Toodle-oo!
Regards
Michael G.(UK)

  Dave P -

  You give me too much credit.  I probably should understand more of the =
process than I do.  When everything works seamlessly, it tends to become =
the baseline.  I've become oblivious to the effort that makes the list =
work as well as it does.  But perhaps you can explain this again.  You =
don't want image files to continue to be attached to individual posts, =
is that correct?  Would you mind looking over the last few days of the =
list, at the posts containing images, such as the following (there are =
others) and tell me what you are trying to have done differently, and =
how that would affect such posts?  =20

  Tell me again what the problem is with imbedding the images within the =
post?

    I know you=12ve been on the internet long enough to realize that =
there are people who would take advantage of this place to post things.  =
If anyone could post to our server and have it show up immediately there =
would be all kinds of spam, porn, etc.  This then requires that we have =
some responsible person look at and approve anything posted there. =20
    =20
    Ron is doing all the approving at this moment until all the systems =
are fully checked out.  When the system is bullet proof, the =
administrator on duty each week will be approving posts.  However, on my =
weeks, I=12ll not be checking at 1:12 AM to see if there is a picture =
there that you want to see.  I=12ll be sleeping and will check it in the =
morning!
    =20
    If you want to post a picture and have it immediately available to =
the list, you can post it on your personal web page, put the URL in your =
email and everyone will see it..  This accommodation that Ron has =
created on the PTG server is for those of us who don=12t have readily =
accessible web space and are willing to wait for the approval process.

    Ron -
    I know there is a problem here you are trying to resolve, but I'm =
not sure this is the answer. To quote from the instructions on the =
ptg.org/files page:



    When a file is uploaded it sends an email to the moderator so it =
should be approved or deleted within a day or two.=20

    Given the way graphics have become intrinsic to many of the =
discussions here, such a delay seems to pose a significant obstacle to =
the flow of ideas.   For example, it's only 1:12 AM right now, and I =
can't see the image of bent tuning pins Clark Sprague sent over an hour =
ago.  ( http://www.ptg.org/files_add.php)  Unless you're willing to =
assign a surrogate, or junior monitor when you are not available, it =
acts a bit like a curfew.=20

    Just an initial observation, though I'm glad to see you're trying.

    I have set a limit of 2MB per file, this should be adequate for most =

    You might resize pictures before you upload them since they will be =

    Let's see how this works.
