Darn it, I was hoping to be the first to welcome a new face. Had to get on a flight. In any event- welcome.

Fremontflyers.com give a visit and let me know what you think. It's a very laid back club that I'm trying not to change but to bring up to the current state of the hobby. We have about 50 members, roughly 25 or so "active" and about 15 "very active". We have some good neighboring clubs too. Our "off site" venue is a small airport, Plum Island, MA that we use for several events.
You and the team are doing a terrific job with the Forum. I don't hesitate to recommend it and I do every chance I get. The general population (up here anyway) seems to be about 2 years behind: 3DHS, Extreme Flight, 3DRCF "what are they?" You look at links and see tower, RC universe, great planes, etc. I have "infected" our club with help of a few others- [MENTION=646]cwojcik[/MENTION], [MENTION=271]Enterprise[/MENTION] and [MENTION=443]ghoffman[/MENTION] with the XA, 3D, precision, Extreme Flight virus so we're excited about this year.

Cody is a great resource to have. A good guy, amazing flyer and always willing to help another

Thanks man. Unfortunately it's hosted by Dual Rates and I don't have direct control over that. However I will ask the guy. He's open to suggestions. I'm pretty happy. It definite has plenty if useful information, some education and entertainment. I'll check the Eugene site. Again thanks.

If you standardize the picture size or crop them there are tools to take stills and make a .gif that will "rotate" through in the browser and be a single file on the site. For example, this is just 8 stills taken from a video

(oh, and you can specify the time each image is visible) This is a client side process (happens in the browser) so there is no additional server load other than sending the image file once. And it works in all browsers

Figures- the only one I beat Mike to was garbage! Ugh! I'll get Mike one of these days! Lol. Glad you caught it Gary.

our "vetting" process for new users is generally very good... sometimes some spammers squeak through, and sometimes the good ones get caught (sorry!) but we try very hard to keep this place spam free!

Well, you can build the GIF out of smaller images. I just wanted the logo to be good resolution That image is only 418.04 KB (428073 bytes). And for 8 images that is about 50kb each. I'm sure half of that could be cut out and still have a usable image. And nothing says you can't just use 3-4 images. I did leave it on my website versus having it loaded in the forum in case the forum flattened GIFs. For the slideshow on my main page I use preloaded images and javascript so I can do a different click through for each image and THAT is bigger

Anyway, GIFs are just an alternative some people don't think about

Eugene site is nice. You can like us at https://m.facebook.com/pages/Fremon...37272320250&viewtype=public&__user=1625100524
More the merrier!

Thanks! It's just a simple wordpress site which is pretty easy for just about any member to pick up if we need to change admins. It's very flexible and tons of plugins! I can't get to facebook here at work but will try to remember tonight!
