To be honest, I had not considered the email folks. I whined about moving to forums about 10 years back but after about 10 minutes, I saw the light. Praise the Lord! Hallelujah!

Anyway, I THINK that Al came up with a simple solution, that is to post the LINK and the PHOTO.

Like this. This is the link which was a simple paste into the thread of the same URL as the photo image (right click on the photo of choice, select copy image location, and copy to clipboard by pressing CNTL and C at the same time)

http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/data/6130/Gilmoreoil_truck2.jpg

and this is the Photo image which was the same URL pasted into the image box

http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/data/6130/Gilmoreoil_truck2.jpg

Simple enough solution it seems to me. Email users get the text and if they want to see the corresponding photo, they can click on it. Forum users see the photos inline with the descriptions.

I need to stress that the photos HAVE to be on the internet and hosting your GMC photos anywhere but the GMC albums is just a huge risk. EVERY photo hosting site I've known of sooner or later puts restrictions, fees, or deletes photos. The only way to ensure the info remains available to the community is to put them where WE can control it. That is, the GMC site. http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/

Folks who looked at this post last night might notice that the images are not the same. I just grabbed a photo and didn't realize it was a Craigslist photo that will go away in a couple weeks. Mike Miller caught that and I changed the photo to one that is on the site and will be here long term.

Would an email user verify that you see the link and it is clickable?

As far as bandwidth goes, the read request pulls the text from the forum software and parses out the image requests which results in a read request to the image server. The image is sent back and placed in the appropriate date stream to the requestor. The GMCNet sees NO additional bandwidth. However, the photo site has to respond to the image requests every time the post is requested (read).
