First off thanks to our TEAM members!!! I had a situation come up yesterday with my local area internet service. The main fiber-optic cable was accidentally cut and the entire county was without internet service. While I'm not totally addicted to the internet, it did prevent me from doing my 'normal' stuff for the forum. The TEAM stepped up and made sure things kept running as normal so thanks to all of TEAM for their help.
Secondly,
As I had mentioned a few days ago, we have made just a few changes in our image posting. We are now using a Lightbox extension which will automatically reduce the size of the display image so it fits the computer screen better (re: less scrolling to see the image). If you click on the image it will show the original size that was posted. After a couple of 'tweeks' this morning to fix the 'sun spot' and APOD image sizes on the portal it appears it's working well. Now to the change that our image posters may see. We have set a 5 mb limit on image attachments that are uploaded to TSS. While the great majority of members will never hit that limit, we felt it was necessary to make sure that we are not hogging up disc space (which we are paying for!) unnecessarily.
Hope everyone understands the necessity for doing this.
Thanks again for all your support!!

That should be good Roger. Most of my pics are small or around 4 mb so Ill give it a try. Its always a hassle downsizing to get under 200kb.
So you say We are paying for our bandwidth, I'm not paying , am I missing something ?
Thanks a lot... Phill
