This is to inform all members that the rule for posting pictures in Dynax Digital has been relaxed again.
The forum Posting guidelines will be updated soon and will be amended as follows.
Photo posting limits.1) Five photos per post with no limit on the number each member can post per thread.
2) A maximum of 200KB per file size. (The photo size remains at 800 pixels on the longest side).
Note: The definition of a post is one single message either at the start of a thread or each subsequent message, also known as replies, in that same thread.
The definition of a thread is one or more posts consisting of an original post followed by all replies to that post. The original poster is considered to
own that thread.
Therefore to clarify, the original poster may add additional photos in groups of a maximum of five, either immediately following the original post or subsequent to his/her original post. Others should not post photos in the original posters thread unless the posted photo is relevant to that thread, is meant to illustrate a point or is posted at the original posters invitation/request.
It is requested that this type of multiple posting of photos be kept within reason in order to conserve band width.
We recognize that some photo hosting sites that control the compression rates, such as flickr, make it difficult (but not impossible) to manage the file size. For this reason, the moderators, at their discretion,
may allow up to a 250KB size. Other picture sizes, such as maximum pixels on the longest side, will remain at 800 pixels.
