To the Moderators of wattflyer,
First, thanks for the time you have given to set up and run such a site. I truly hope it is successful. I must air one gripe however. This has to do with having the user re-size any photo before posting. I saw a different reply you had made to another user about not having the software to automatically resize pics as on RCU & even a few links to download some freeware to do so. This is a major problem for me, and I’ll bet for many, as some don’t have the software nor do they wish to download stuff from the net to quickly resize photos. The key word here is quickly. One of the great things about RCU is the ability to throw up almost any pic and have it posted. No fuss, No muss! And, the old adage, a picture is worth a thousand words, is absolutely true. This, (the ability to quickly post and view pics), greatly enhances and increases the back and forth flow of information which is after all the whole reason for these sites. Much information will fall through the cracks because most of us working stiffs don’t have the time it takes to resize all photos they wish to post, so we don’t. Information and ideas not conveyed. I signed up to this site and will contribute, and I do appreciate your efforts. But when it comes to posting pics of my ideas or successful mods, systems etc.. I don’t have the time. I don’t normally post pics over at RCG either for the same reasons. Best of luck with this site, and please, snake that auto-resize software from RCU. LOL!!
