THAT is good to know. I've lost all the pics on The old US NAVY thread and many of the model ship forums as they do not save them. I got so I don't repost that stuff anymore as it is so time consuming.

Good to be back with my old shipmates though. Wish I could get Hump back too.

Good way of putting it @santana

Excellent that you decided to come over from AAR EJ! Loved your photo's and hope you can get back into it again

It would be great to see Hump in here also

 

[Bombardier]

Just a point to note too @EJ-S if you post your photos into the media galleries, either one of the pre determined categories or create an album. You can organise all your photos into different groups. You can make as many albums as you wish.

So you are kinda using the media gallery as a military photos host. They will never be lossed and you can use the codes provided to share the photos around the interweb, including in the forums here. That said uploading them directly to the thread will also preserve them, we do not delete photos here.

If say you post a photo from IMGUR or other hosting package we will, as I said cache the images and they will always display however if you try and share the photo to another forum directly from the thread here it will not show unless it is directly uploaded to the thread.

With Albums (in the media area) you can set your own permissions for who can post to it or even who can see it. For example if I had a sensitive album of photos that I only wanted certain members to see, you can allow only those members access to view them and comment on them.

hope that was clear enough
