Possibility of forum just for photos?

[catnapper]

I have been to other forums where there was a discussion side and a photo side... it was awful. I love how Karen and Paul have it set up

On another board I am on, they have their own picture uploading service. People can upload their images into their own gallery, and then post them as thumbnails, thus allowing the page to load more quickly, and they can sift through the ones they might like and open them to make them bigger.

Maybe this is something worth looking into? I would imagine it would take some more coding though.

I like it the way it is, except for the picture threads where people haven't resized them at all. These threads must be pretty slow to open for people with modems.

As far as I remember, there was/is a limit of images posted in each post of 8 (eight!). I don't know if this is still valid, but I do know that signatures have a limit of 25k. Concerning other images posted, I'm not sure there is a limit.

On another Forum I know that are using vBulletin 3.6.4, they have a limit of 75k for posting images. If it's bigger, it just won't upload. Perhaps Karen and Paul could do the same here, if this vBulletin version allows it.

I belong to a poodle forum like that but we can actually do a similar thing here already. When you want to post a picture just post it as an attachment and it comes up in thumbnail size. Then people can click on it if they want to see it full size.

I like things the way they are now. So often a photo goes along with a story.
