Hi all babblers!
I have an idea. I've discussed this with Ed and he agrees with me that it could be fun to know what other fellow babblers looks like. I have Ed's photo and he has mine, that way i always has his picture in my head when i write to him. It feels more personal and it's interesting to know what the fellow babbler look like.
I have a web server at my place which i don't use, the idea is that i create a web page with babblers photos. It could be arranged so that babblers send their photos and nick(and more if you like to) to me which i put on the web page. No one else would know of its existence, and if you wish it could be password protected, a password i post in the forum. Ed and myself are ready, that makes two babblers, we need You for this to be fun!So the question is:
Do you find this interesting? I.e. would you like to have your photo on a web page for other babblers to view it?And of course, suggestions, ideas, concerns and thoughts are welcome and appreciated.
Thank you,
Mattias

I think it's a pretty good idea.. but wouldn't it be easier just to create a thread where people could just post a link to there pictures themselves..it's fairly simple if you use
http://imageshack.us/index.php .. to upload it
but if you want a website devoted for it that's fine.. I'm apart of a lot of websites that do this and they just have a thread where people post there pictures..

Be wary of starting such a service with your own server; I'm sure Dr Bob has thought of these things in advance with Babble in question, one opens onesself to unhappy feelings at best and litigation at worst depending on the country in question. Just heads up.

I would think, at least in my opinion and comfortability that one would be less reticent about posting photos if one could do such a thing "on their own" (some script or something, not sending photos to a third party, unless theres some scanning question involved, although one can usually find a scan place easily in their own country)
Password protection is a must for a sensitive topic as mental health which is not handled gracefully in every part of this country (US) let alone the world. I could post here with my "real everyday" handle but I choose not to, to have a modicum of separation of privacy and those who wish to email me through my more private handle are more than welcome, etc.Just my 2c, some ideas to think, not a show stopper.

Hi Matt!
Would it be possible to have it so that only the people who contribute a photo of themself can look at other people's pictures??

Yes, absolutely. It wouldn't be fair otherwise.

I would love to see what other babblers look like but I don't want to contribute myself. I guess that leaves me out.AG :(

hi mattias:),like your name.:) that idea sounds cool to me...while it's been so very interesting to have people know me solely by what i post/personality, i think it'd be pretty cool to be able to post a pic. i'm in..need to get a digital camera first, though..
take it easy,
amy:)

Maybe you could take a regular photo to someplace that handles copying and the like and they most likely have computer, scanner, etc. Maybe let you email it to you once they scan it in or at least email it to you form them.
Just a thought.

Oh, yeah, the site... sure... or a thread here, or whatever. You know if you're not using an Instant Messenger like Yahoo! Messenger or MSN Messenger, ICQ, there are a few more I think, you might think about it and babblemail to whomever you want to see, giving them your IM info. Then you can show and send photos or any files.Just input in case some of you out there are unfamiliar with Messengers.

Hello everybody,
I think this has to go via mail, because of two reasons. First, it would be easier to reply to that individual with a password, only the babblers who contribute with a photo will be able to view others photos. If this can be accomplished easily another way, please let me know. Second, i want to view the pictures, this can of course be done via imageshack, because sending a picture of a 'tree' shouldn't be enough to be allowed to view others pictures..

you could set up a web page with the photos, then babble mail the web adress and password of it to people who contribute. I wouldn't be comfortable if my photos were public, but am happy to have them behind protection.
