Yeah, I was trying to copy some photos from flickr and my usual procedure wasn't working. Finally gave up in disgust.

Inline images not gonna happen, eh?

I noticed forum software was upgraded while I was gone so I was hoping we were finally able to post in-line pics to club forums. I don't know why this hasn't been enabled yet. Local meeting/club centered threads could use picture posting a lot, especially when someone like me missed a meeting by a sickness! (still sick, thanks Kent) And since photos are hosted elsewhere, enabling this feature shouldn't stress the RFF server or anything. Or am I missing some technical difficulties that I'm not aware of?

Good question. There was no eye contact that I could discern, so the mystery continues.... 🙂

You're right Sug, it should not be a server problem. I have sent Stephen notes on this, I suggest others do the same.
There are some clubs that have this enabled, making this even more annoying.

I think it's been disabled. I'm pretty sure the club forums use to have this feature, so it was turned off intentionally. I think this happened back before a server hardware upgrade (back in the days when the admins were concerned about disk space--photo size was decreased at that time too). Also, I believe the 'shelf life' for threads in club forums is shorter too (notice that the only threads showing for our club are those created in 2011).
Keep in mind, we have the Flickr group. You can post images there and supply the link here.

Like I said, some clubs have this feature active right now. Check out the Japan Club.
I love posting to our Flickr group but at times online images make for a MUCH nicer user experience.
Like I said, maybe if enough people ask, it will happen.

I'm not sure why that is, Kent. I'm just noting that the lack of this feature here and in other forums was an intentional decision. It can't hurt to ask to have it enabled.
definitely. although, I'm more bummed that our threads and posts 'expire' and disappear. It was kind of nice to have an archive of our meetings (with or without images).

Ray,
You're absolutely right, it was intentional.....long long ago. The fact that some have been re-enabled, and others not, to me is very interesting. I too am bummed that the threads expire so rapidly. The clubs are not huge volume areas, I am surprised this is done at all as the savings is so minimal.
Reese- Allllll the way at the bottom of the page is a "Contact Us" link, that's what I've used 🙂
Just FYI... I make my living marketing products and services on the web for very large corporations and small companies alike, also by managing and creating/refining web sites. I only bring this point up so RFF can have the best user experience possible for it's members, and in the process create goodwill and continued traffic that can help to sustain the site financially.

😱 OK. I'm embarrassed. 😱 You can see the past threads by changing the settings at the bottom of the screen. (OE) The default for my setting is 75 days.
Anyway, yeah, I'm really bummed that we can't post images in these threads!! 🙂

Wait, for some reason I can't post it here. I'll try flickr....

Micah,
I actually tripped her while stealing her purse. I know it wasn't right but I knew that collections have not been going well for your "special surgery" and I wanted to make a difference.
Gosh, Kevin's nice lady friend even stopped by when we were having a drink to ask about you and your "project". 😉

Before you guys veer off into nonsense again, does anyone have an opinion on the Muybridge show? You did SEE the show, right?

Hmm... I liked the second floor show more.

I actually enjoyed the show. The motion analysis section is what he is known for and gets a little tedious after a few samples. What I did enjoy was his incredible panoramas of 1870 San Francisco and his startlingly good landscape work in Yosemite.
Definitely worth seeing in my mind.
Now...back to the nonsense... 😉

My thoughts too. I really enjoyed it. That large panorama of the city was fabulous. I didn't know a lot about his pre-motion analysis work.
