The idea of a central e-mail database that can be updated is a great idea (and I agree it should be password protected to provide some protection) even if it is a simple password.

Photobucket is pretty easy-- even I can do it- but it also depends upon photobucket staying around for a while.

If there are multiple pages it might require more computer savvy- which may eliminate users- but as it stands- to wade through everything from the past takes a lot of time. A few bucks a month might be worth it to have some convenience.

I can modify this forum to be password required. as far as wading through old stuff, the new and currently posted on thread automatically stay at the top so that should be too much of an issue.

I've built a lot of pay type forums for others for car racing stuff and there is a lot to choose from out there but i picked this type for the family board specifically for its one page simplicity.

let me know if you would like to try this board as password protected and then we can openly post our email and IM s/n's on here without fear of spambots. In fact I can probably post a list of email addresses at the top of the page as a sticky.

come to think of it-- creating another barrier to entry for a site that is barely travelled may not be a good idea- it would discourage traffic from family because they would have to call someone for the password. - we just need to get more people to use it and have it as a favorite- that way when one person is pretty busy-- there is still new material (and the info gets disseminated more efficiently)-- if it is just one person-- then there is no point in the site. This would be good to keep Hirokazu in the loop as well. --Someone should let Hirokazu know about the site. He is pretty tech savvy

I think my mom said he was asking about it and that she gave him the URL for it.

yes i agree on not making it more difficult to access... Now you know why i made the board as simple as possible. I also figured you go to your favorites and click and the first thing you see is a big picture of the family, that should catch peoples eye. I also post as many pictures as possible as i think thats what makes a website the most interesting and keeps people coming back to look.
