Jim,
I vote the semi-no change; afterall, it is SODA-MACHINES.COM!
"Other Coin-Ops" should be sufficient for everyone's use. I like the FATW also, but I think it could just be a monthly topic in General Chit Chat. I did think that possibly you could re-work the forums a bit.
1. Move "Estimated Values" into 'Soda Machines, Coolers & Dispensers'.
2. Move "Tips & Tutorials" into 'Restorations'.
3. Eliminate altogether or move "Who's Bidding" into the Members Area - really not necessary anymore. Soda Jerk Privacy is not in the 'Vending Rack' forum anyway - right? If someone want particular info on an eBay or CL listing and does not care if everyone can see it, then they can post it in the "Auction Items" area
These just seem the logical, but no change is OK by my too. What is that old saying? "Don't fix it if it ain't broke!"
The only thing i would change is the the size of the pictures that is a bit of a pain.
Pat,
I recently started changing the setting on my camera instead of altering the pictures I want to post on SMC and it is a lot less work. My camera is an older Sony Cyber-shot camera and has settings for 10M, 3:2, 8M, 5M, 3M, 2M, VGA (Email) or 16:9 (HDTV). So I now take my 10M picture, press a few buttons and take another picture in VGA (Email). When I transfer my pics from camera to computer, the first file is my nice crisp 10M pic and the second one I want to post SMC at 60kb+/-. It takes a bit to get used to, but it works great!
Just while posting this, I snapped a pic of my mouse and loaded it on.
