RV6 Listers, As of this morning, I have enabled limited posting of various picture formats to the RV6-List. Extensions allowed include: jpg, gif, bmp, txt, xls, pdf, and doc. Generally, these are all pretty safe and don't carry viruses of any kind. A word of caution when posting pictures, however. Double check the size of the pictures you are posting. This includes both the picture dimensions (X x Y) but also the total filesize (MB). If you take pictures right out of your digital camera, it is likely they will be on the order of 1-4MB each. If you post 10, 3MB photos to the List, you will be sending 30MB plus encoding (usually a 1.5x gain in size) to the list, that will have to be redistributed to all members on the list. That can be a lot of data! Use a program like Photoshop to reduce the dimensions of the photo to something on the order of 640x480 and use medium or better compression when saving the file so that each picture is roughly 50k to 100k in size. Let me know what you think of this addition to the RV6-List. Remember that the PhotoShare is also still available and generally the best way to share photos of an archival nature.
