Title: A question about pictures
Post by: MatrixGamer on June 13, 2006, 09:50:22 PM
A member asked me to post pictures of my printing equipment on a thread about self publishing. I'm not aware of that happening on this site before. Is there a way of doing that? I'd like to ablige the person's request.

I can't speak to policy exceptions. Posting pictures is not allowed, but you can post your pictures to any online image host (Flickr, ImageShack, Photobucket, Tinypic, Fotobilder, etc.) and post a link here.

Adam's got it right. I've been known to permit exceptions, but rarely. In this case, I think the standard procedure, as Adam described, is the best path.

Best, Ron

Chris,

If you (or anyone else) want somewhere to host pictures and don't want to deal with one of the many, many services Adam mentioned, feel free to email them to me at thomas.e.robertson@gmail.com.  I'll upload them and then email you a link.

Thanks, I will take the pictures and try up loading them to one of the sites.

Of course, unless your printer is homemade or unique in some meaningful way, you should be able to find everything someone might want to know about it at its manufacturer's web site. Put a link to that into a post, and skip the hosting and e-mailing and such.

HTH;
