    I think you're right.

    It's operating super fast right, but I haven't attempted to post pics

    Ok, caught up on all the posts here. Yeah if we need to upgrade to a new program, then that's probably a good step.

    The Wood Wolverine mentioned a picture "resizer" being in the upload window, we will certainly consider that when looking at the software upgrade! He and others also mentioned maybe offering premium memberships, that too may be a way of curtailing rising costs to run the site......something to also consider going forward to keep ads away and/or at a minimum. When we get closer to doing an upgrade (gonna talk with another member here this weekend who's graciously offering his tech help in regards to that very chore) we will have a "think tank" thread and address all of the issues we've had here/ideas and improvements going forward. Til then, let me know how the site is working and if/when it acts up......and let's try our best to deal with the picture stuff (look up some tutorials for a way to shrink your file sizes) because I, like Jason and many others, love to see the hoards, dogs, tools, saws, cooking on the fire, family and wood stash pics! All of those things make this place great!

    With the cost of software and services, I agree we should have a donation thread or a membership thread. When you think of how long we enjoyed this site free for so many years, it can't go on like that. Thanks for the update, Scotty Overkill

    Just did a test run of a basic screenshot/crop, and it by far is the easiest method of making pics easy to upload here.....simply screenshot, go to your screenshot folder and select the pic, edit it, and upload. These pics uploaded instantaneously.......

    Mikey in a cherry tree we pieced out yesterday. Ended up finding a honeybee colony in the trunk too....

    Once you've uploaded the screenshot, you can discard it from your screenshot folder on your phone.

    I've been resizing most of my pictures with screenshots since getting my pixel phone I think 3 years ago? Most of the pics it takes were over the 8 meg old limit. Just crop the picture to leave out unnecessary items like how many texts we got from our wives about all the firewood scores were getting. Lol
