master database of scans/photos

I am about to head out for a week but when I get back I will post the costs for you.

I haven't posted any scans yet but I would certainly be willing to pay a reasonable fee, either separately or as part of the yearly subscription fee to the database, to help to underwrite the extra cost of a "page" or "room" devoted to scans.

By the way, David, it is fantastic that you have been able to get that many picture sleeve scans for use with your ipod. I use Inmagic for inventorying my music collection (the data info, not the music itself) and it has a function where you can add scans with the data. I mention it just in case your looking for software that can meld the data and scans together pretty nimbly.

Ed, Hykker and I all used photobucket, but it appears that Pat is being charged for the data transfer from that site.

Mea culpa. I've already deleted some of my less-pointed scans.

The one week rule is a decent idea, but it's a lot of work to scan, upload, and post links to the photos. If they're only up for a week, would it even be worth the hassle?

What if instead of imbedding the image in your post, you just post a link to it? That way, the image/data is not appearing in the posts---you instead get redirected to photobucket to view the scan.

Aaron, that's a good idea! In these economically challenged times, I'm sure there are quite a few people here that don't want to have subscription fees increased.
