Gallery / Voting changes
Posted: Sat Apr 26, 2008 12:07 am
Have a couple of new changes coming up on railroadfan.com:
1. I'm modifying how the process works for the Picture of the Month/Year.
Here's a guide on how to vote for your favorite photos:
a. Go to this link to access the gallery: http://www.railroadfan.com/gallery
b. (Click on the thumbnail to open the full sized picture) Click on these links circled in red:
2. Another major annoucement about the photo gallery. Upon switching hosts to this newer, faster, more reliable service, with the increase costs actually came a smaller amount of room to store all of the photos. We are currently running at 90% capacity. Unfortunately, I need to start limiting the amount of disk space that is being taken up by members photos. There are currently 25 members that are over the size limit that I would like to put in place (100 MB.) Please use this link to see how much space is being used: http://www.railroadfan.com/gallery/user ... ort=name_a
This shows each member of the board, listed in alphabetical order. The max that is being allowed is 100000KB.
What I'd like to see is if members can start removing photos from their albums that are not linked to trip reports, and any other pictures that you can remove to get down to no more than 100 MB. I will be setting that 100 MB quota in place starting on May 7th.
If you are looking for a place to store all of your odds and ends railroad photos that won't fit in this gallery, I'd recommend Tim's rrpicturearchive.net site. You can then remove link pictures from there over to this message board as many people have been doing for quite some time.
When the gallery was first put in place, I never imagined it would grow to the huge size that it's up to. I do thank all of you that have submitted photos, and am sorry that this new limit needs to be put in place. In order for the community and message board to grow, this change needs to take place. Either PM me or email me with any questions.
