Posting pictures on this group

Is picture posting not permitted on this group as I would like to post some
pictures I took from a recent flight down the Hudson Corridor (pre-Lidle)?

No it is not acceptable to post photos on a text newsgroup. Most servers
would strip them off anyway. There is a binary newsgroup associated with
this group but I don't have a clue as to what it is.

The easier way is to just put them on a website, and then just post
the URL. If you don't have your own webspace, Flickr, Photobucket
or one of the others works well enough.

Most ISP accounts include some server space for a personal web page, which
can be as complex as will fit the allocated disk space or as simple as a
list or display of your latest pictures.

The resulting URL tends to be a bit long and convoluted, but TinyURL solves
that problem rather nicely. It has good instructions, is easy and
intuitive, and is located at http://www.TinyURL.com/

Or if you have a Gmail account, you can use GooglePages...

I don't necessarily like the fact that GooglePages does not have the
concept of subdirectories (aka folders) and instead basically uses a
flat file system, but it's possible to at least somewhat get used to
those limitations...

You can use alt.binaries.pictures.aviation

If I were you, and wanted to view the results, I would go to the group - FIRST,
and use some type of "catch up" feature so you don't have to download several
hundred posts. It is a very active group, with many large files.

You could also use RAP first in the subject, so it is easier for others to find
them, when you reference to them in a post.

I trust you do have broadband of some type? g

I like the idea of the OP posting a URL instead. That way, we go right to the
content instead of having to find that newsgroup, then wade through it to find
the particular photos.

Without a doubt, that is the easy way to do it - If you have that option readily
available to you.

This is considered by most a text-only group. Many folks post to
alt.binaries.pictures.aviation and let people know with a post to this
group.

That said, I wonder if feelings will change with the increasing
popularity of broadband connections. As long as this does not start
filling with SPAM, I personally would not mind a few aviation-related
pics from time to time.
