How come there's no picture thread?
With all these folders, and everyone's enthusiasm for them, I'm surprised that there is no photo gallery/picture thread. I'm sure there are others out there that enjoy looking at others bikes. Just a thought.

The "name your bike" sticky thread has lots of pics of folders, but there is not a dedicated gallery as such...
I will post a picture of one of my bikes on the "name your bike" thread.

Some of us here use other photo hosting web sites and refer to them. That is what I do now. I can suggest others see what I have done and not take precious space from Bike Forums' own Web site.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but AFAIK when I post the URL of an image, the image is on my space, not Bike Forums'. And my band width is used when the image is viewed. I didn't even know you could upload images to Bike Forums' own Web site.

As for bandwidth, are we talking about (1) a user's bandwidth to access bikeforums.net? (2) bikeforum's hosting burden? (3) something else? Not to be a tech snob, but is anyone using dialup anymore? User bandth is pretty irrelevant for anyone using a broadband connection, so I fail to appreciate that complaint. As to bikeforum.net's hosting burden, it's a business. Let's let BF's management decide its policies regarding photos.

As far as I know/understand it is a private website that the owner (Joe Garnder) actually puts lots of money in. Some of the hosting costs are covered by ads and some by members who donate (and/or don't want any ads). The rest seems to be covered out of Joe's pocket.

I'd say the best (free) photo hosting has to be Flickr because of the searchable tags for the images. I've found several Twenty owners this way.
All my Twenty pix are up there for all and sundry to see..
