Chaps and chapettes, this has probably been done before but I can't seem to find it so please don't have a go but I was just wondering why we can't upload pics from our PCs?

I have gone to do this a number of times only to realise I can't do it (or can't seem to).

Again, just curious.

Dunno why, something about bandwidth or such things that I don't understand. Get a photobucket, fotango or an account at any of the myriad of photo hosting websites. Then you just link to them.

Yep, the amount of photos that would be put on here would cost a ton of cash to host.

Just as easy to host somewhere else, which brings me to this very helpful utility that someone has set up

http://ph.uncle-dave.co.uk/upload/

Instruction guide there aswell if needed.

Or go the easy way, and use 'Tinypics'

Chances are we will offer an upload facility in due course. I've got one partially developed.

An upload facility would be neat as it's a bit quicker and easier.

More importantly, all the uploaded pictures can/could be categorized and searcheable creating a nice archive. Also you could have your own member gallery which everyone can view..

Basically there are lots of neat functions possible if you (well, Ted ) have the time.

A simple example is the m5board's gallery: www.m5board.com/photopost/
which has 'recent additions' as a neat function.

Storage should be pretty cheap (250GB hard disk = about £90) in theory, I guess it's the bandwith that needs worrying about?

I'll be out of business..!
I was actually thinking about addding a multiple file upload and description fields to my uploader.. might not bother now
