Hi Ghosty

Thanks for the upload, I wish that you would use photobucket or something. On my Ipad I cant be bothered to look due to all the different sizes. Direct attachments are simply not good for viewing. Just my opinion :-) You have some beautyfull models!! wish I could see them better ;)

A big thanks to Ghosty for continuing to dig out the images he saved from the old Forum. Your efforts are very much appreciated Kevin.

Hello Dr Jazz, I am not the original poster of the material you see above, I am only re-posting what has gone before, from our old 'Lefora' site and I made an early promise I would not interfere or edit any of the forum members property while I was doing this, so it appears here as close to original as this platform allows, so sorry for a lot of very large images, but that's how they were originally posted.

When the photos were posted on the Lefora site those that were to large were automatically reduced in size to fit the page.

Where as on this new site what ever size photo is posted it appears in that size, But when I take a photo it can be originally over a 1000 kb, but then putting it through my jpeg programme I can get it right down to about 40 kb after I have cropped the photo.

Like this photo to start with it was over 1100 kb, but after cropping it and putting it through jpeg it is now only 26kb with out it losing any definition.

Ghosty I respect your decision to keep the postings as originally posted but I would think that the members who originally posted them would be Ok with you making them more viewer friendly for this site
After all you are doing a great service for us all by saving and reposting them, these are all new to me as I joined just before the lefora site shut down, any history on these pictures would be great
Thanks and good work Ghosty

Hi Guys, I could re-size all the pictures and add history etc, but my main concern was to act as quickly as possible regards saving what valuable material was still sitting on the old site, before it was pulled 'Off-Line' and while I had already saved a very high percentage of the material, my main laptop crashed, has had to have a new Hardrive and all the old saved 'Links' to the material was lost, I am having to go back into the old site and re-save what is being asked for (latest request is from "Idris" and "Motorman"), when it's asked for, so time is limited, it is a case of priorities at the moment, so please bear with me.

I would have thought if the collectors posted their pictures on the Lefora site, and then joined this new site they would post their photos again when the Superfast # came up if the collectors were only asked. That is if they did register on this new site?

Yes Kerbside, that would work and I would welcome that and it means the pictures can have their notes and comments back, missing on my re-posts because it is not easy saving and re-posting those with the original pictures, something "Naji" managed to do but took a long time doing it.

Any forum members reconising their pictures are more than welcome to add further or new comments to those pictures, please!
