To quote from the instructions on the ptg.org/files = page: <o:p></o:p> When a file is uploaded it sends an email to the moderator so it = should be approved or deleted within a day or two. = <o:p></o:p> 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.  = (<a href="http://www.ptg.org/files_add.php"> = http://www.ptg.org/files_add.php</a>)   Unless you're willing to assign a surrogate, or junior monitor when you = are not available, it acts a bit like a curfew. Just an initial observation, though I'm glad to see you're trying.
