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.

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. . . .
