A note regarding the posting of attachments in ride reports.
As you are all aware, one of the benefits of subscribing to UKGSer is the ability to upload attachments to our server.

To help preserve the performance of the site can we suggest that posters of threads that are likely to contain more than 5 images host their images on an external photo hosting site and then link them into their ride reports, some examples of available sites are listed below:-

- SmugMug recommended by UKGSer, not free but well worth the cost.
- PhotoBucket free.
- Flickr
- ImageShack does not require the user to sign up for an account.
