There seem to be three website locations currently where event pics (sailing/social) are being posted by photographers - groups.msn/rocketeers, www.photobox.com and www.photobucket.com

Mags, is there any chance all the content could be put onto one of them, or even better on the Photos page of this website?  I realise you're a very busy man at the moment with your new job but it'd be a lot easier looking through them in one location.

Mags may be short of space on the Merlin site although web space is quite cheap now?

Photobucket has a limit of 1Gb space (approx 4,000 photos) per username. A Merlin one (or multiple ones) could be set up with the password for posting photos made available.

Note that posting to this types of sites loses your copyright and makes the photos available to everyone which personally I don't have a problem with (unless I buy a decent camera and give up the day job.....)

It would be nice to keep everything within the MR site, but time and space can be issues. I prefer images on this site, as we have less adverts, and often the response time is better!

Talking of which (and I'm really not trying to get on your case Mags :-), but did you receive the photo I emailed you of my father's boat Blue Velvet 3645, to add to advert on the boats for sale page?

any thoughts from Brian Richard,
drop me an email if poss.
Cheers
Hywel
