Re: Use of the Group Photo

Tim,

1)The Yahoo's file size limit for a photo is 5MB but given the up-
load and down-load times and the total space limit of 30MB that is 
not workable. I would try to keep images in the 100K range which with 
JPEG compression gives an image 500 pixel width range using 72 dpi as 
common monitor resolution.

2) At this point I have limited posting to the Photo area to myself. 
So if you want to put a photo up e-mail the file(s) to me directly 
and I will upload to Yahoo. If I don't do it this way, anyone can not 
only post but take down or modify what is already there which is 
likely to get confusing.

3) When the photo is uploaded it can be uploaded with a title. In 
your text post just say refer to photo "ABC" in the Photo section.
