Ok-
Some discussion has been thrown around over the past month about posting Pictures and more people would post pictures if the site allowed. So, I have been talking with Bohica through emails and we have a few options on the Table.
1. Change the Software to another bulletin board format. It would be Exactly like The Barn. I guess it's like going from a MAC to an IBM or vise a versa. This board has built in picture attachments.
The CON to this is we start OVER from Ground ZERO. Everyone logs back in and all messages are GONE forever.
2. Keep this existing format and loose nothing. We can continue to ride off Photo Post web sites (IE: momentoffame, etc..) and just attach an instruction page/ how to somewhere on the site for the Matey's of the world (LOL!!!)
3. We can keep the FREE board as it stands and continue. Bohica and I can work together and add a link to the Top Navagation bar and I can sign up to PhotoPost. We will set it up for us and use your User Name ID for the photo board. This site will look like - Moment of Fame. This suggestions is similiar to #2 only this would be used for the users of this site.
The CON to this is we'll need to learn how to upload the pictures- Much like what I do, BHunter, Five4Fighting, etc.. does. It does take some getting use to but a breeze once you do it Once or Twice. It will cost me a few bucks to do this - No biggie.
Let me know your thoughts and maybe we can wrap this up shortly.

I would say leave it like it is if we will lose everything we have so far... Posting pictures the way we do now is not hard by any means once I got walked through it... I do agree on a instruction page posted somewhere for posting pictures...

I honestly was on the fence this morning about changing over to the vbulletin software but, the more I think about loosing everything - Posts, links, users, etc... That is gonna be a royal pain in the AS$. I'm going to continue to look at photo options and I would encourage others to do so as well. I've been looking at www.photopost.comThey host boards like Moment of Fame and when NJFish Chat was around there was also a link attached to it. Like you said Shane- it's pretty EZ once you get the hang of it. I'm sure we can type some instructions up. Ryan

The bad thing about sites that host your photos (photobucket) is that if they aren't veiwed frequently, they are deleted. Just FYI

Any suggestions then Sam?
Bohica mentioned earlier last week vBulletin will handle uploads BUT we would look EVERYTHING on the site when we switch over.
I'm a fence guy/ injection molding guy... This board started because of Censorship at it's best on another board. Don't know anything about this stuff!

Ok this is jake the dog. What's wrong with using the image shack deal that is in the wall of fame site. I just figured it out and I'm am suprised that It worked it was so easy. i must be missing something. are they to large for the site or what is the issue with them? even figured out how to remove the resolution size bar at the bottom.

I agree - It's real Easy. It resizes everything for you.
Anyway - I gotta get off my as$$, crack open my wallet and get something together for us. I'm sure Bohice (Our MASTER Web Master) can set it up for us.
I'm thinking a Link up at the top for the pictures. This will be our own site for DMVF instead of sharing. Us Misfits don't share very well.

Ryan Why not put up a pay-pal link and give us sponsorship options. I know I wouldn't mind kicking in a little each month to add it here and not use the other sites. I only post here so I have no problem kicking in some to help pay for it. i think that is what sam did at delmarva fishing .org
Jeff
You should have come down this weekend. the weather is beautiful. Little chilly at 42 this am. That should bring in the striped ones.
