Attachments are not permitted on most newsgroups (including rec.sport.unicycling) to reduce the bandwidth usage of news servers. The more bandwidth that is used, the fewer newgroups the servers can transmit to other servers and users.

Occasionally people forget and accidentally attach images to the post
directly. See for instance David Stone's recent post "flaming puck photo." Of course in this case it's not that big of a deal since it's a 23kb attachment, but Ken is exactly right - all text all the time in these newsgroups. Use the forum as Gilby says, and everyone sees photos and is happy while keeping the load on the news servers low. There have been infamous examples of anti-social people persisting in attaching images in other newsgroups, but it's never been much of a problem here. ---Nathan "Klaas Bil" wrote in message ...

Ken, I think you mean to ask not to send pictures to the NEWSGROUP r.s.u.? That would be a legitimate request. Conversely, I think that sending pictures to the FORUM r.s.u. is perfectly acceptable or am I missing something? As far as I am aware, no pictures have recently been sent to the newsgroup. |

I don't think it got deleted because of the attachment, or would that be a possibility?

Conversely, I think that sending pictures to the FORUM r.s.u. is perfectly acceptable or am I missing something? The request was directed to the rsu mailing list, rec.sport.unicycling newsgroup and unicyclist.com forums. I was wrong to include the forums in this request: Gilby has made it clear that unicyclist.com forum users can use attachments, since the software automatically converts the attachment to a URL reference before being sent to the newsgroup or mailing list. The rsu mailing list is restricted from sending attachments, since there is a bi-directional gateway between the rsu mailing list and rec.sport.unicycling newsgroup. As far as I am aware, no pictures have recently been sent to the newsgroup. A message with an attachment was sent to the rsu mailing list a few days ago. It should have also appeared on rec.sport.unicycling via the gateway.

The only concern when attaching a picture to a forum post is to resize the picture to 640x480 or less, and to recompress the JPG to get the size down to 40K or less. Pictures bigger than 640x480 mess up the formatting in the web forum and make it harder to read the thread. Files bigger than 40K or so get to be annoying for the people with a dial-up connection. -- john_childs - Guinness Mojo john_childs (at) hotmail (dot) com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ john_childs's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/449 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/27099 |
