Derty - "what if i decided to do trilogies with every picture..." I disagree though I'm not trying to change your view, but have you never considered a 3-frame single image? Several people in Bryce have done this. And just to clarify, under the proposed rules you'd be able to post TWO 3-image trilogies and one single image every week. And another point (stop yawning!!!! ;)) - a trilogy very rarely remains a trilogy as people are loading images all the time, so your 3 images tend to get spaced out anyway unless you have an ultra-fast connection. "Think about this, what if Tolkien had been limited to 3 books in his entire life." I think the proposed change would be more like telling Tolkien that all authors were limited to 3 books a month. He would have said "So what, my books take far longer than a month to write" whereas Barbara Cartland would probably have crapped her pants at the thought of stifling her "creativity". ;) But to be honest, I think we'd all be better off without "The Silmarillion" anyway!! ;)) If you abolished the limit entirely, think what would happen. People would be uploading dozens at a time, especially in fractal and Poser, and this would utterly ruin the galleries. Many people come to Rendo having galleries of their own containing 100's or 1000's of images. It's clear we need a limit, it's just a question of deciding what it should be.
