A special THANK YOU to our moderators!

Post by Rob59 »

Hello modelbuilding community.
Since I have been a member on this forum, I was wondering how pics got into the forum Gallery.
It seems that pics from the show-off section automatically come into the Gallery by the system, without interference of anyone in person.
Since I have been posting some finished builds of mine into the show-off part lately, I noticed none of them made it into the Gallery….
Hmm…. bit strange….
Nobody ever complained about my pics and/or builds, so what could be the issue?
I was thinking about how I upload pictures in my posts.
Postimage.org is the free photo host I use in most forums I am signed into, so could that be the problem?
Yesterday I PM‘d most moderators and asked them what could cause this picture/Gallery thing.
Mick figured it out, it is the pic host site causing this issue.
I never could upload pics directly from my cell phone onto this forum, and since I do have an iphone now, it is even more difficult :{ :{ .
So what did the moderators offer?
They did put my pics/topics from the show off section into the Gallery for me!
And that is why I want to thank them very, very much for their effort in sorting out this issue for me, and for the solution they came up with!
And a special thank you to Michael from Poland who put my pics into the Gallery!!
Great work guys, thank you!
A happy Rob!

Thanks. We recommend uploading photos to the forum server (using the Attachments function). Many remember the disaster from a few years ago when Imageshack and Photobucket stopped working, and many forums were emptied of photos in an instant.

Never knew about the attachements function.
Looked for it, found it and will try next time!
Thanks Michael.

You are most welcome Rob :thumbup:

It was very much a behind the scenes team effort of heads banging together for that familiar hollow coconut sound. . . .
