May I have an exception for the 1000 photos limit?

[OSAMA]

Hellooo bro @BruceDM , 

If you see the majority of  @LucioV Photos 

Are for help US local guides on Connect , 

In my opinion and many other members he deserves to be a Connect Moderator and he can do great work in helping and moderating with you and other great Moderators , 

When I start he supported me and he answered every question I ask him ,

As numbers shows he is very very helpful and Online almost all the time ,

"Am not here to nominate or praise "

And now he reach 1000 Photos , if he Delete the photos which most of them are marked as best solutions , I think the post will Miss something valuable ,

Thank you again and again we are one big Family and am very proud of everyone of my LGFAMILY 📣📣

Have a nice weekend 🙂

Thank you very much, @BruceDM!

Learnt a new trick about the "Copy Image Address" on Google Photos.  I only tried with the link from Sharing before - and it always not working.

A great way to start the day!

Gosh, so adding an <img src with the address of a google photo works?!?!? This changes the game and there is no need anymore to increase the 1000 photos limit!

I write HTML since 1994, so it's not a problem.

Thanks for your support @YK1001, and, thanks for your kindness and friendship @OSAMA 🙂

I learnt a lot in this thread, so, I should thank you for starting this thread.

Thank you!

Hi @OSAMA,

Thanks for sharing your nice words.  The Local Guides team is always keeping an eye out for new potential recruits and as mentioned in the meet the connect mods post, we don't have a specific process or timeline for nominating new Connect Moderators but we will reach out to anybody who we believe fits the model we are looking for!

You're Welcome @BruceDM 🙂

When I can't help  @LucioV in his photo limits issue , I can give him nice words 😊😊😊 he deserve more , but this is what I can do :-)))) 

Love you all my LGFamily 💓🤗🤗🤗 💓

Hello @LucioV,

It isn't the best solution but it is definitely the best we can do for now.  As I shared in my earlier post,  here is the code you would all need to use if you ever ran out of your photo limit space.

<img src="your_photo_url.jpg" width="enter_number_here" height="enter_number_here">

Another example - add code in the "HTML" selector just above the toolbar for the post.  I grab the image url by right clicking and selecting "Copy Image Address" on Chrome.

<img src='http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/100/128/happycat.gif?1318992465' width="200" height="300">

Output:  It works!

Thanks @BruceDM 🙂 I use HTML since 1993, so it's not news for me 🙂 It's only about finding something easier. You can read my stats, and i post very much 😄

Anyway, I shared a list of tips that could help more in posting images in connect: https://www.localguidesconnect.com/t5/General-Discussion/My-tips-for-images-on-connect/m-p/540023#M1...

Hope you like it 🙂

Thanks!

@BruceDM @YK1001 Thanks very much for the info and the thoughtful posts about this.

If this were the 1990's, and Connect were the Geocities website, then I'd be ecstatic about its photo sharing features. However it's many decades later than that. Google now has self-driving cars and will host for free petabytes of my pictures as long as I take them on my Pixel 2.

Connect's 1000 photo limit is absolutely ridiculous. Absolutely. Ridiculous.

[YK1001]

I share your feeling, @JosephDewey.  

As long as there is a limit, it will be hit sooner or later.

As soon as it is hit, there will be discussion for why higher and why not higher.

For sizing purpose, average is used. 

But a community is shaped by the most active members, and the most active members are always hit hardest.

@YK1001 profound words. And you're awesome at validating the feelings of the regular users. Thanks!
