there is frustration within our club that no pictures are being uploaded to the website while Facebook gets the photo's from club runs almost instantly.
Luke,
I am not a member and I've posted many photos here of various runs and events. This is a forum, not really a website although forums may link to websites. Forums and websites do not run in the same manner as facebook; it's a totally different platform. I doubt there will ever be an easier way and this is one reason facebook has virtually killed most forums.
I used to be a member of many forums and have seen them come and go; the only forums with some life left in them are car forums and that's because forums have a much better search feature. You can't search for a phrase, etc. on facebook or dig up an old thread with any ease.
Forums have their place and facebook has its place.
If any member is frustrated that this forum doesn't feature the same photos as facebook there is one option; instruct that member to join the facebook group, otherwise have them direct their frustration to the person that posted the photos to facebook and have them (not you) tell that photographer to come here and post on the forum - he will most likely be told where to stick it. lol
You need permission from the photographer if you want to share their photos publicly so it's a legal minefield.
Enjoy the forum for what it is, enjoy facebook for what it is.
Each have their pros and cons and to get the best of both worlds at this point in time you have to join both; that is, while this forum is still around. Another Aus. Corvette forum based in Qld just died not so long ago.
