Hi Mike, If I understand you correctly, links to things like You tube, for maiden flights etc will still be okay?

Cheers
Danny

Mike, 
Good decision about SSL. Funny, I just installed SSL on server at work today, and now I'm reading this. 

I am one of those linking images from photobucket. I prefer it over images uploaded directly to RCSB, because of higher resolution and quality. 
Often images loaded to the site are small, and it is hard to see details. 

Would you consider increasing size limit? 

Also, just to test, I tried to link to link image from Google Drive, which is secured. It worked as a link, but not as a image....

Hi Mario,

Thank you for the kind words. uploading images on RCSB is not hard it's just most folks will not take a few minutes and play with their image editing program to see the maximum size you can get within the limit. With the upload limit at 175K, this is what is possible with Photorazor or other image editing programs.




The secret is the RESOLUTION, not the physical size of the image. Most cameras today spit out 300 - 1200 pixels per inch, a monitor can only display 96 ppi so a lot of wasted information is uploaded. I will be updating the FAQ and doing some video tutorials on uploading before September. Hope this helps

Mike, 
First of all, AMAZING picter, no matter how you uploaded it ;)

Second, you proved the point, that is big and shows details well. We'll wait for the tutorials :)

Hi Mike,

Thanks for all your efforts on keeping our RCSB safe and running!

To be honest, I was one of your statistical 40% who had lost links for photos in the threads although that happened totally out of my control. But the result was frustrating to the viewers as you mention. The pictureless text suddenly makes the build thread totally "nonsense". To add to the frustration, I had to spend a lot of time to put back those photos (I even removed hard drives from my previous computers, hacked some external drives to be able to connect the recovered hard drives and search for the lost photos in them, and some photos were still missing, unfortunately).  

The reason I was insisting on using Photobucket was same as Mario stated. Simply the disbelief in 175kb limit will not allow me to give the details needed because my previous photo processing tools were only cropping the image size to decrease the file size, resulting in a small and not so good image. But your "sample" photo is amazing which had virtually slapped me on the face and pushed to go and check once again the FAQ, download the PhotoRazor and give it a try. To admit, the process is even much easier than the route I was following to publish previously, and the resulting quality change is not even noticeable to the bare eye. So I will not wait for the September, by today I switched to upload my photos directly to the site after processing with PhotoRazor.

Thanks for waking me up :)

Cheers,
Evren
