Iris and I have been discussing the gallery on this site, and it's not everything we had hoped it would be, it's very, very small in the amount of space they offer us. As with any forum hosting site, there's good points and bad points. The good points of this site is that it offers large amounts of space for the actual forums. I don't know if any of you have ever been to Wet Canvas, but in that forum they only post pictures in the actual 'new topics' area and have no gallery. I actually like to see a gallery, so we've been kicking around a few ideas. Martina has been down with a cold, so of course she would have the final say when she's back.
This is the idea that Iris and I had:
We could maybe set up a section labeled Gallery, and if a member wishes to set up a gallery they could start a topic with their name in in.
Example:
Gallery: The heading (the same as, for instance like Martina set up for 'Info Zone'
Gerri: I would add my name to indicate that I have a gallery set up somewhere, and include the link, which anyone can
click on...

Password: Gerris
Iris: would do the same, and so on.
I've tested setting up a gallery at photobucket, and the free account allows 500mb.
It's not an ideal solution, but the only idea we have so far, we're really open to other ideas, so post them if you have them!
In the meantime, maybe use some caution about uploading to the gallery, and we'll see later what ideas Martina has.
