Re: Hosting
Photos of course, after all these years, I bothered to take on board the instructions to enable moi to upload photos without reliance of a third party. Now, the genie is out the bottle, there is a danger of visual overload!, guess we may find out if a picture is worth a thousand words.

Re: Hosting
I opened a free Flickr account and am slowly going through my old photos scanning them and uploading them so my son in Australia can have them if he wants when I pop my clogs . It’s an excruciatingly slow process that drives me insane . There must be a quicker better way to do than the one I use . I scan old photo . Edit it ( it’s always upside down and small . I then save it to my laptop ( god know where as it seem to be a ransom process ) lose my rag trying to find take it out of the new folder that my laptop likes to make put it into the folder OLD scanned pictures . Try and arrange them according to date of occasion. Yea gods perhaps I could employ a six year old to do it after lockdown

As responsible members, I think we also have to consider the well-being of OFF. I'm not sure if doing what is possible as described in paragraph 2 would use the forum's bandwidth and hence add to Azz's costs. Maybe, maybe not.
In any event, I don't think the forum would ever be used as a mass image hoster. Why do so when there are other sites dedicated to the job?
