Every week there are Navy volunteers helping to clean kennels and rooms in the building, take the dogs for walks, and generally help out. Much needed and appreciated.
But my Navy has a problem too: Too many sailors adopt a dog and then leave it when they deploy or transfer. Or just let it loose in town. Donna guesstimates that in her 8 years there that two-thirds of the turn-ins or strays come from "my" sailors. That hurts. On the other hand, the WAIF adopted dogs at least have a good home for two or three years. When I was CMC at a tenant command there, part of my Indoc was about the responsibilities of adopting an animal.
Your help at the Shelter would be greatly appreciated, and you'd have a good time walking them in the woods there.

I see a Mod changed the images so that if just refers to a hosted URL...is it a question of server storage or speed? Could thumbnails be used instead, or does that still hamper traffic flow? Images are very cool and make for interest.
Here's two out of the three of "my" Barred Owls that help keep the mice and bunnies down. I think they're all siblings cuz they appeared at the same time three years ago, don't fight, and hang out together.

If you have thumbnails, that would probably be ok.
If you PM me links for thumbnails, I can insert them in the original post.

aDSL 5Mb Down/512Kb Up loads very fast. A picture's worth a thousand words, etc. Admin Ken said that server load was low, but that making backups was a bottleneck.
My Mother still has dialup, do many others here? Or is it FTE servers and .php Mysql that is limited, since they already carry our image galleries too?
Not many threads would have images, and a limit of 600-800 pixels max width is what, 100-200 KB size.
Or Admin could add vB code for thumbnails if that helps server and connection loading.
Or I'll shut up and link my images to a host.
How do I bypass the link delay every time when clicking on an outside URL?

Making Thumbnails
There are basic thumbnail creators out there for free. I ended up buying a some software that did more than that, but I used to have some freeware that would make thumbnails...I beleive I found it at freeware.com or toucows.com.
Not sure.
If there is interest in getting the software, let me know, and I will find out where I found the freeware and post a link.

I don't mean those for personal websites, but thanks....Each web site has to enable the code for thumbnails, to click on and get the larger picture.
The point is prolly moot anyway. If i remember right, with .php / Mysql sites the entire image has to be carried anyway, even though just a thumbnail is presented for viewing. Unless an update has happened in the past year or two that genuinely links a small thumbnail image to the full image stored at an offsite host like Photobucket. Then a forum would not have to carry the full image all the time and use bandwidth and archival-backup time.
If Oracle or Postgres was hosted, like FTE webmaster Ken Payne was talking about, and thusly the backups went quicker and additionally if thumbnails were genuine links to offsite, that would be a solution. I dunno', it's up to the webmasters that run it, money, and the pain of transferring.

Exactly. But .php Mysql sites have to carry the whole image, there is no genuine linkage to offsite hosts for the larger image via thumbnails. Eg. URLs are used instead.
So if you'd pay more bribe money then Thumbnails vB code would be enabled here, but then the backups would be monstrous.
Edit: :idea: I thimk we're talking about two different things here. You mean that if the offsite, like Photobucket, used thumbnail image links to place here, and then the offsite would link their thumbnail to the their larger hosted image?
I'll hafta' look and see what photobucket's paid version is and see if they offer it.

This is not a limitation of PHP or mysql. Check out our galleries for an example. The php/mysql code I wrote creates thumbnails.
Its also not VB codes. VB codes are just HTML short-cuts for forums, and HTML has no thumbnail capability (an image is an image is an image, etc... regardless of size).
If it attachments for "off site" images there would be nothing that we could do our end because the images wouldn't be on our server and our system couldn't resize them. For on-site attachments, the version of VBulletin we're running requires a certain version of the GDI to resize images, and we don't have that version. Compiling it would be a nightmare, because it requires that we rebuild at least a dozen other packages. We're working on a server upgrade and it will support it then. Its gonna take time so don't expect it any time soon.
