Input needed - image storage

Post by elc32955 »

Hi everyone!

I'm at the point now where we need to discuss a few things on how we want the system to work. The forums are set up and operating, but as you know they're not really condusive to storing a large amount of pictures. As we progress it'd be nice to have some image storage capability available to us I think. We have a few choices....

1) I can talk to my developer and see if he can find a good shareware/freeeware module for picture storage using our front page and existing servers.

2) We can do like some of the other forum sites and use a Flickr or other such off-site storage solution.

Suggestions, comments, thoughts from everyone?

Thanks
Eric

I don't have much input on pictures. I do post them, but I've only mastered the thumbnail approach, which isn't really optimal.

I do have some other things to talk about and I'll post in a new topic about what I'm thinking.
