Re: Pictures

[<62to65mopar@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks. Some people have their Mopar pictures linked to a Web address in a footer in their emails. That saves bandwidth. Members are all welcome to have a page on the 62-65 site as well. 

The executive summary is that posting pictures is fine: just remember there are members here who still use dial up so keep the picture quantity and size reasonable; also, when replying to an email that had pictures in it take a second to delete those pictures in your reply so the pictures are not posted multiple times.

Below is copied from the relevant section of the Guidelines for the 62-65 Mopar Mail List.

11) As of 2011 the Mail List is hosted on Google Groups and Google Groups allows HTML text and pictures as attachments. Sending a picture or a few pictures adds to the communication clarity, “a picture is worth a thousand words”. However, consider the picture size and method of delivery when posting photos.

An easy way to quickly share a lot of photos is to use Picupine and send the link generated there in your email. It is free and requires no registration. The pictures remain available for only one week though.

There are also free Web sites that you can use to make the pictures smaller before you send them in an email or to one of the web picture hosting sites. Webresizer is an example.

Reducing the size of the pictures is most important to people who are members here who still use dial up to get their emails. Big size pictures take a long time to download. Note: if you reply to an email that had a lot of pictures take a second to delete the original pictures from your reply to speed up the mail. Also, most digital cameras have a setting for "Web pictures" that make them formatted to post on the Web as soon as you take them. Image programs also have this function.

Also, there are a bunch of Web sites that allow you to post pictures for free and then just send the address of the Web site. They require you register an account though. A plus is the pictures remain online until you delete them. Below is a sample list.

    Flickr (from Yahoo)
    ImageNerd
    Imageshack
    Photobucket
    Picassa (from Google)
    Snapfish
    Tinypic (It also has a menu to re-size photos to optimize them for various places, like emails and Web sites.)

Thanks,

>  So I thought it would be neat since I'm new and everything, to see if everyone wanted to post pics of their rides, projects, custom work, in a new subject. Might give ideas to people as to a direction they want to go with their project or something. I personally would like to see more mopars! Just an idea. Might get people talking bout something they didn't know you had.

Please address private mail -- mail of interest to only one person -- directly to that person. That is, send parts/car transactions and negotiations as well as other personal messages only to the intended recipient, not to the Clubhouse public address. This practice will protect your privacy, reduce the total volume of mail and fine tune the content signal to Mopar topic.  Thanks!
