Wow....the RR Forum has quickly vaulted to being the 4th most active forum in such a short time! 11,000+ posts! I would like to thank everyone who has posted their work and added thoughtful comments and critiques.

As the new PhotoPost system comes online fully I am not sure how these two entities will mesh. I would guess the best way will be for users to create a special album in their member gallery for a series of photos (if there is more than one that is) and then they can either link to it from here or add in the photos as you do now. The image URL's are much easier to deal with than the MSN ones. Observe:

Jim,

Very high-tech!

I think half of my problems initially trying to post photos from MSN was the fact that I did not get the entire URL highlighted before I copied it. The new system should make it much easier for everyone concerned.

Looks great.

Thanks.

Hi Jim

Will the new system mean that photos are uploaded direct to Armorama, or must we still keep our originals on MSN (or wherever) to avoid the dreaded Red X?

Cheers

You can use the new area but if you have posted images using MSN in the past and want them to continue to display in older posts, you would need to keep them there as well. I am thinking the MSN site will likely see a drop-off in use after this system is fully enabled.

Glad to see the RRB is on track. Even though I stated that I hate the RRB, I did say it was one of our most popular (and useful) features. Unlike some sites where you have to be an elite builder to have your photos posted, the RRB allows anyone, good or bad, to post their latest project for all to enjoy and critique.

I look in here from time to time. I always seem to learn something new.
The best thing is that I have never seen anyone bash another modeler's work.
