Photos section storage limit

Photos section storage limit

2003-10-12 by Don Lattimer

Hi all,
I hate to be the spoil-sport here but the "photo" section only holds 30 Meg and we're at 28.26 Meg which is 94% of the total we're allowed.
Occasionally I go thru the photos and try to trim what we don't need but I'm running short of things to trim. One suggestion I have is to delete all the "full size" pix. Some of them run 300-600kb in size. Another idea is to have everyone download and "save" the "parts pix" (such as dashes, brakes, bonnet hinges, etc.) to their own computers for storage. That way they could be used later on if someone needed them.
If you can remove any pix that are repeats of your cars that would help also. For example, I have 100 pix of the Marcos XP race car but only put 3 or 4 in the photo section.
If anyone has a site that we can post pix to, let us know. We could keep this site for pix of owner's cars and have a library of technical pix on another site. I can put a link on the homepage to another site.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!! I don't want to cause any bad feelings, just want to make space available to newcomers and those who haven't posted pictures yet.

Hi Don,

we can store the pic“s on the german Marcos website  

www.marcos-cc.de

and second possibility would be

marcos.miamiweis.com

I believe Lou from Luxemburg would be happy to do for the Marcos 
Maniacs. Ask him, or if you want PM me, and I will talk to Lou.

Would be very, very sad to loose only one of the pictures.
