If someone already brought this up, then please forgive me.
Although I have been just curious and decided to do a search through a few of the How To's and such, only to discover a lot of the photos that were posted through a hosting image site have been deleted or expired. Was wondering if there is a way to prevent this in the future, and (heck even I would do it if you let me know when) whenever someone posts photos, to make a copy and have it on an account through an image hosting site or a database where they will not be deleted, so that new members can get the same advantage as the more later members all the same. I am not sure if this is making sense, but it is helpful (even though the information is posted) to have photos. Also, such things like removing the amber part of the JDM tails and possibly other "how to's" are missing the links. I was just curious and clicked on the removing of the amber piece, only to find it was a dead link. Just thought I would bring this to your attention mods, and if you guys don't want to bother, provide me with a way to make this happen and I will do it for everyone. It makes no difference to me, so long as we can make it happen. Thanks -------------------- 91 MR2 Turbo SW20, 92 MR2 Turbo SW20, 95 Celica GT ST204

Maybe instead of getting pissy up in here, someone should make a purposal :idea:
Talk to Christian (ie PM) and see if he can enable an attachment feature. (Many forums have this) But limit the attachment feature to creation of how to articles (don't know if this limitation is possible) This way the images for the HOW-TO are stored/hosted on the 6gc.net server and not an independent provider. |
