Pictures, Invites and sharing
by Site AdminI have made a few changes to the pictures section to improve the ability to share pictures, especially those from invites. 🙂
When you upload you can choose to allow others to download the original full sized image. If an image is downloadable then a green "down" arrow icon will appear. <img src="https://www.outdoorduo.co.uk/theme/icons/arrow_download.png" />
You can also attach an image to an invite. there's a new Invite filter that pulls up the most recent 25 invites and shows those images linked to that invite. 😀
As part of this set-up and to keep the server tidy I am planning to keep pictures for no more than 2 years.

p.s. This only affects images uploaded from now onwards. ☹

RCRoland_C on 09/02/17 @ 14:30Site Admin: hi Steve - is there any way that you can store the old pictures? There are times when many of us have really got a lot from looking back at great memories. Best wishes - Jonathan
CDCarpe Diem! on 10/02/17 @ 21:46I'll let it run for a while and see how much disk space is gobbled. I could also remove the large full size ones, but leave the small and medium versions as memory joggers. 🙂 I am guessing everyone who is likely to download an image would have done so by then.
Site Admin on 13/02/17 @ 10:58You could always politely ask people not to post more than 3 or 4 at any one time? 🙂

Site Admin on 16/02/17 @ 11:31Those changes have seemed stopped me from adding photos,have tried several times,but just wont upload.
HHelvellyn40 on 17/02/17 @ 19:50How big is the photo? In file explorer select the photo, and the size in MB should be shown at the bottom.
Site Admin on 22/02/17 @ 10:51Thanks
Site Admin: Size of photo is 2.3 MB. Have just tried again but didn't work.
on 22/02/17 @ 20:06Site Admin: It seems that one of the photos i was trying to post wouldn't upload,but others have,very strange.
