RE: REB: unknown bicolor again

Isn't it just easier to send the picture if someone wants it directly?

Keith,

I think Dana was referring to the often sited restriction of this photos list. While I TOTALLY agree with you and wish all the photos were large enough to actually see, it is meant to be kind to the folks who only have low speed internet access.

Although you do give me an idea. It seems a shame to punish what is likely more than half the members of this list to make all the photos shrunken (as well as the extra time to do so). Why not a solution that works for everyone? We have the technology! Why couldn't the list be like one of the photo sites where folks send all their photos there and a notice with a thumbnail (larger than most thumbnails but still just a few bytes) goes out to all. Then those who choose to can click on the thumbnail and view (or download) the big pic...

That might not be the only solution either. But if we have 670 list members, maybe the first thing that should be done is to find out just what percentage don't have hi-speed connections. Maybe the simplest solution would be to increase the minimum size to something a little bit more visible!

Since this list is still on yahoo, they have the capacity to do an automated poll even. We could poll everyone and suggest a couple of new size limitations - I would suggest 200k limit per email, so if you choose to attach  more than one, you still don't go way overboard.

Any other ideas? Opinions?

David,

            I hate to be picky but your pictures are huge and take a lonnnng time to download on my dial up email.  They are beautiful and I love seeing them but please, compress them down to about 50 kb.

 

Thanks,

 

Dana
