This WE there was a gathering of old rigs at Sciez (F) a village on the border of the Geneva Lake. Little wind, but beautiful light and boats:

Thank you Armando, but Prodibi is an image service provider which allows to present HR images in a secure way. Prodibi offered their services to NG i.e. embedding the macro into the forum. But unanswered until now.

Thank you Jakoy and Nasos for appreciating my pictures.

Jacov, you might maybe give attention to the following post, as Prodibi proposes to embed directly the Prodibi pictures in NG (instead of having to put a link). Indeed, the biggest French forum, Chasseur d’Images, is providing this service. And it’s great to have full resolution pictures for a site dedicated to photography  ;)

We will normally refrain from adding special modules to the SMF software which runs NG. There is a question to the Crew of having a low maintenance system.

As the admins will join for the upcoming PhotoKina fair in Cologne, we can discuss the matter there.

Thank you Bjørn. Not sure I will attend Fotokina. And I agree that fora should be run as light as possible. I don’t know the guys who are running Prodibi. But they are close, based in Geneva. Always volunteering to liaise or making a due diligence.

Thanks.

We will be at PhotoKina on the 28th (Friday) hopefully to avoid the throng on closing day, Saturday. Do contact any of the admins if you, or any other NG member, plan to visit PK that day. It would be nice to have an improvised meet-up there, as has happened before.
