<div id="ygrps-yiv-458834084">If I am the &quot;spacemaster&quot; referred to below, I can explain as follows:<br/>
<br/>
In the past, I have been able to conserve greatly the available space in the BP<br/>
Photos section by simply deleting the &quot;full-size&quot; version of all photos, leaving<br/>
the &quot;thumbnail&quot; and &quot;screen-size&quot; versions.  (I was granted moderator privileges<br/>
in order to do this deleting.)  Deletion of the full-size versions was no great<br/>
loss to the general membership, because the full-size version of each photo can<br/>
be viewed only by the member who uploaded it and the moderators.  Many full-size<br/>
versions were far too large to be viewed on a computer screen, and some ran into<br/>
hundreds or even thousands of KB, occupying enormous amounts of our limited<br/>
capacity.  Clearly, some management was required.<br/>
<br/>
Some members take the effort to delete the full-size version of their own photos<br/>
when they upload them.  That makes my job much easier, which is appreciated.<br/>
François is one member who has had almost no full-size versions among his<br/>
photos.  I have deleted a few, in each case leaving the smaller versions that<br/>
members can view.  Thus, none of his individual photos is wasteful of the<br/>
available capacity.  However, of the 495 photos in the Photos section tonight,<br/>
258 belong to François.  That is over 52 percent of them.<br/>
<br/>
We have 30 MB of available space, and we currently occupy 27.17 KB.  The limits<br/>
of efficient management are about to be reached, and there is nothing further<br/>
that I can do.  Something is going to have to give.<br/>
<br/>
Any person registered with a Yahoo ID can go to<br/>
<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph//my_photos">http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph//my_photos</a> and create his own personal photo<br/>
album.  These now have unlimited capacity.  This is probably the best solution<br/>
for a person who has large numbers of photos to share.  He could post the URL of<br/>
his album to the group and invite members to visit.<br/>

<br/>
looks just like the statue of champlain between the parliament<br/>
building & the river in ottawa<br/>
<br/>
& that isnt anywheres near caus<br/>
<br/>
so fortunately i must disqualify myself from the rest<br/>
<br/>
& about your previous question<br/>
we can ask for & have indeed gotten more space in the past<br/>
but since our spacemaster hasnt responded to your request yet<br/>
it may be that we are finally running out of spacemaking options<br/>
<br/>
& if so then perhaps you could save or make more space too by<br/>
just avoiding duplications<br/>
<br/>
also<br/>
attaching pix to personal emails directed to bp is space free<br/>
& they do apparently live happily ever after too in gmane land </span></blockquote></div>
