    How easy is it to upload photos to the site? I am asking because i was thinking wouldn’t it be nice to add a photo to a topic or to just share a photo. I see in the upload your photos section it says work still in progress.

    It would be very nice and maybe just what the site needs right now. The current upload section does work as there are many photos there, but there is no organisation of the photos and I’m afraid it got a bit out of hand.

    I have just downloaded yet another plug-in which I am having a quick play with. It may be useful, it may not!

    Well, that’s a start, I will play a little more! I think this is available to everyone, but please don’t abuse it!

    Thanks for doing that Dave.
    I did try to upload a photo but couldn’t get it to work, then i noticed the layout had changed, so i left it in case you were still playing with it. I notice it says maximum file size is 512 KB, but my photos are a bigger size than that.

    Yes, I’ve been playing around to try to get the editing box to work better. 512KB is very much more than adequate for a photo to be displayed on the web. Normally you need no more than 150KB – I was thinking of dropping the maximum to 256KB. This photo of Burrator and Sheepstor is only 107KB and gets displayed at full screen resolution.
