Subject: Re: [ASC McLaren ] Photo section dilema
Body:
Another problem that may surface sooner than later is that MSN recently went to making their 'photo sections' a pay option - in their quest to squeeze every last dollar out of their users.
Yahoo is no charity either and I suspect that you may find that they will soon cry a tale of woe about how they are not making enough money with the banner ads that they subject you to on their pages and even on their group mail postings... Hence the reality is that within the next three months you can expect Yahoo to ' DEMAND ' payment to continue hosting pictures or they will delete them all on such and such a date ( which is the extortion routine that MSN pulled on its users ).
So just a word to the wise... it might be worthwhile finding somewhere else to have as a back up 'photo' section before Yahoo pulls such a stunt - or see if there is enough support within this group to front some pledges to help pay for the photo archives when that time comes. Always best to be ready for any eventuality ;)

Subject: [ASC McLaren ] Photo section dilema
Hi,
Just went to look at the photo section again and got a scarey shock.
I opened what I thought was my little folder and it was empty.
Closer examining showed there was another Nick with an ASC MClaren
unfortunately as I had mentioned no pictures were inside.
Next I noticed we are at our max for using space in the photo
section. If you take a look it says we are using 29.97 of 30 MB (99%)
as a group so I guess nobody else will be able to post pictures at
this time. What I'm gonna do for my part is make sure my pics are
small in size so others can post too. Is there a way we can get more
space to use? Or do we have to keep conserving?
-Nick :o)
