hey folks, im back from holidays in the u.s. on weds and hope to get some work started on my winter scene n gauge german layout in the few days off before i go back to work.
next week im in tokyo for work for a couple of days and always enjoy going to shinjuku mainline station and taking pictures of the various bullet trains there, both inside and out!. they look amazing in real life - altho i dont have a specific interest in japanese railways - i like the bullet trains.
however ... and i wanna ask u guys about this:- i enjoy taking pics on my travels about trains/railways and hoping to post pics of my model railway developments on here for everyone to see and enjoy .... but ... iv had yet another message from DOUG ... one of this sites moderators complaining about the size of my pics.
i do notice that theres not a huge amount of pics being posted, some, but not lots - there cud be more given the number of members here all with a keen interest in one area of trains or another. i suggested that this is because of the complexity and time it takes to 1st of all upload pics to a web/pic hosting site then to copy the files to here and also have to reduce the file size as well!!!. surely in this day and age, a web site like this can handle the resizing of files automatically? ... this isnt the only forum i use - but its the only one i use that i get constantly whined at by one moderator about my picture sizes!.
so my solution/response is this:-
i could just stop posting any further pics on here ... but, post details of a travel trip, the pics taken and similiarly with my model, any progress made and pics taken - ill post the details on here - and if anyone wud like to see pics, email me and ill email the pics of progress/ rail visitis to you. this is a real shame -
this mod tells me that not everyone has broadband - very true - so how do they cope with rest of the internet/web? they might be used to waiting for pics to load in that case. his 2nd point - not everyone has a large screen - well my lil travel laptop is an asus eee pc - with an 8" screen and all the sites i use, this one included all seem to work fine!. so how small are their screens then?
i luv taking pics and sharing experiences with others ... i have to travel a lot with work and get to go to places that not everyone wud choose to go to on hols - myself included! ... it takes enough time to upload pics to photobucket for example and then onto here without intriducing a further complication - resizing!. its just another step that puts me off posting - and i feel thats a real shame. especially when the reasons giving are kinda weak and not very convincing - broadband and screen size. i mean, we r not all using mobile phones to access this site!.
so theres my moan of the day!. comments?-
