RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Frappr and Moki

Greetings Jon,
 
Did you say 414 email recipients. Wow that's wonderful, last I had heard it was 266.
 
With regards to images sent through the mailing list, I was just thinking that if the limit was, say 100 kb or 150 kb, that allot of pictures can be sized to be from 40 to 100 KB and still look pretty good. Allot of pictures are already in that size range. That way for pictures that one is using to show an idea for something, that relates to what they are talking about in there post, but they don't really want or care to have up on a site that some times takes a long time to upload, then save and paste the link to the email, it would be a little easier to just attach it to the email.


Regards,
Brent Hartwig

Hi Brent,
 
I don't want to clog the mailing list with photos.  It's much easier to post them to a web site somewhere and then just provide a link in the email.  Most people are packing 5 and 6 megapixel cameras these days and the resulting images are huge.  We've got 414 email recipients on the mailing list right now which means alot of bandwidth just to send a photo.
 
PSUBS has a "projects" page, www.psubs.org/projects and a picture gallery http://www.psubs.org/psub_pic/psub_pic.html which is open to anyone who wants to submit photos.  I only ask that you convert your photos to 80x60 pixels (for thumbnail use) and 640x480 pixels for the big photos.  Email them to ray@psubs.org or jon@psubs.org and we'll get them up on the web site.
 
Jon

Hello All,

Would it be possible to increase the email size limit on the PSUBS mailing list, so we can send a reasonably sized picture or two from time to time?  I don't know how many of us are still stuck with slow dial-up internet, but even those people might not mind to much, sense it's sub related, or is the problem bandwidth cost and/or or spammers?
 
Also, I'm not aware of who controls the Moki site, but it can be pretty hard to use for people like me with slow internet connections, as well as those with fast ones, since there are no thumbnails to know what you want to look at, as well as kept track of where you are.
 
I really appreciate the hard work of the people that keep these sites working, like Jon.  These are just some of my thoughts for upgrades.
Regards,
Brent Hartwig
