Hi Judge

The plan is to try and develop the site as much as possible. The development would include the addition of a Gallery, Blog, etc.. Unfortunately it takes time and money so I am not sure when this will happen... If we could afford to pay someone else to do it then neither of these constraints would be an issue, unfortunately (even with a few donations) funds are quite limited and I have recently started a new job so don't have the time..

The move to the dedicated server has seen a great improvement in the speed and reliability of the site which gives us good foundation to work from to make these changes but that alone costs over £600 a year to run..To date there have been member donations of around £250 so you can see my dilemma. Please don't take this as being ungrateful, but the mods & I (who also donate) can't fund the new server and the planned development of the site ourselves so we will either have to wait until I have the time to do it myself or hope that eventually we will have enough money to pay someone else to do it..

Long answer for a short question I know but thought it would be a good idea to provide this information..

We will get there eventually (probably)

Regards
Michael

Thanks for that Michael.

As you have said running servers and Websites costs money and pictures on Websites also use up bandwidth.

A good alternative for a Gallery that i can recommend is Flickr its a free online Picture Sharing service. Its free to sign up and you can chose which pictures you want to make public or private. I am a member myself.

Its was also recommended at Cnet.Com. this way members of PHO could show pictures to other members if they wish in Galleries.
