This post is also listed under the trivia section.  Sorry for the duplication, but I wanted everyone who asked about photos to see this.

Hi guys.  I have to say how impressed we are at how well this board has been received lately and really appreciate all the great comments and all the hard work from all the mods and new members.  Open and I have been moving into a new house and all the computers have to be set-up, etc.  We should be up and running at 100% by the end of next week, but in the meantime we have limited time to spend on the forum.  Everyone pitching in at this point is not just appreciated, but necessary.  Thank you all so very much.

Unfortunately, this forum host does not allow for unlimited bandwidth.  This prevents pictures from being just cut and pasted onto a thread.  Makinglaps uses a great photo hosting site called imageevent.com and pays a monthly fee for them to host everything from logos to pictures.  There are also some great free photo hosting plans (just google free photo hosting, upload the files and then you can post them freely) out there we have used at times as well.  Or, I am more than willing to accept photo files via email and will host them on imageevent.com.  Just email me the files and we can post them or I can email the new link back to you so that you can place them up in your new thread.

Send your photo files to makinglaps@aol.com and we will host them for you in the proper format and return them to you, or post them.  Whichever you prefer.  We love pics!

Thanks again everyone, we are so thrilled with this renewed enthusiasm and will be back up and running full bore shortly!
