Medical Forum / General / Vision / April 2005Fundus photos
I think I recall that photos on some newsgroups are not allowed. I was wondering if one were added as an attachment to a posting if it would be ok? I recently acquired a retina camera and occasionally see something I'd like other docs to take a look at. Any thoughts on doing this? Should I try a test one? w.stacy, o.d. >I think I recall that photos on some newsgroups are not allowed. > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > >Any thoughts on doing this? Should I try a test one? I wasn't under the impression that you *could* post an image to s.m.v. I say, "Fire away!" Dear Dr. Stacy, If you can't post on sci.med.vision, you could send as an email attachement -- for people who are interested.

This is a non-binary newsgroup. ie, it's not say alt.binary.whatever for example. As such this is a text only newsgroup, no binary attachments, graphics, pictures, music or programs are allowed. While it is possible to post, some people can take a dim view, and it can be against your internet providers terms and conditions or acceptable use policy. The best thing to do, is to place it on some webspace somewhere, and provide a link to it on the newsgroup. That way, it'll also get indexed in Google easier for future generations! Cya Simon That sounds familiar. Something to do with bandwidth. I wonder if it's as big a deal as it used to be what with the monster storage available these days. I guess I'll try putting them on my web site and creating links. w.stacy, o.d. > While it is possible to post, some people can take a dim view, and it > can be against your internet providers terms and conditions or [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > Cya > Simon > That sounds familiar.

There are a number of free web hosting sites, but some of them claim the right to use any photo posted there as they see fit, which sounds unsavory. > > While it is possible to post, some people can take a dim view, and it > > can be against your internet providers terms and conditions or [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > provide a link to it on the newsgroup.

Should I try a test one? I'm all for it. Some servers disallow attachments, so we see attachments here from some users and not others. -MT |
