I have finished updating the Encore Fokker F1 and SE5a duel build: Plus MvR. It probably took 20 hrs worth of downloading and replacing photos in the thread. I think I see PB thought process. They figure once we realize the amount of time involved we will dcide $399.00 is worth all of the hours. I will not do it although it is becoming tempting. I have more or less given up on postimage. I tried downloading 40 images and all but 4 failed. I tried 10 and 6 failed. tried 4 and 1 failed, so on and so on. I am having better luck with Flickr although it is still time consuming.

Another issue I have is that many of my build photos are on my old , but still operating laptop. I never figured out how to transfer the photos to my new PC so I also have to search both for appropriate images.

Rick, I never load more than one photo at a time on Postimage, it may take a little longer but at least there are no issues. I just recently upload 190 photos onto Postimage one at a time and did not have any problems, all the photos went across well and once completed I then downloaded all the photos, again one at a time, onto the forum. It may be a time consuming process but at least it works and works well.

Thanks Des. Yes one at a time seems to work. One thing about Flickr I don't like is that it doesn't show my photo number like PB and post image. Dowmloads  at a time are no problem though. I guess I need to decide between the two evils  :-\

PS: I loaded 448 photos to my album for the Pfalz and Salmson build yesterday!
