Forum Gallery, a nice addition?

This issue may have already been brought up, but I think it is unfair how people have to go through the fuss of getting a webhost to provide free webspace just to put their addon images on the forum. I think it would actually be a good addition to the forum if a gallery was introduced for everyone to put their screenshots in by just simply uploading to the forum site. You could limit images sizes to 1024x768 to avoid too much webspace being taken up if that became a problem.

Michael,
There is a gallery for Celestia users that wish to post images in it. All one has to do is contact Chris and he will setup the account. The main reason I choose to put my images for the most part in my shatter.net storage space is speed. I have been having a b**ch of a time getting images uploaded into my gallery. I have to it one image at a time. I used to be able to load at least five at a time but it just isn't working like it used to. The main reason I even chose to go back to using the gallery is that I needed to show so many images that are large and the gallery has a nice self resizing feature that helps me cut out a step when uploading. Again that is when the darn thing is working.

Thanks Don Edwards,

If everything works out, I'm sure we will be seeing pictures of my addons sooner than you'd expect...

Michael:
Is there any particular reason you made this topic "Sticky"?
Now that you've had your question answered, there doesn't seem to be much point keeping the thread hanging about at the top of the list.

I changed it to "standard" priority.

Sorry about that, I thought it would be a bigger topic when I was writing it, and that it wouldn't be solved in one post. :oops:
