With regard to posting pictures, I don't know if that's true.  The fact that
the newsserver rejects binaries has never stopped anyone from simply posting
the URL of a picture on their website.

In the picture attachment I was talking about the possibility of also
posting some LEGO mechanical creations (in robotics).

I just added a facility the other day for John to upload large JPEG images
of Datsville.  The server automatically creates the thumbnails at

(...) Oh. Maybe we're talking about different things. No, I wasn't kidding, but I was talking about in relation to code rather than building. --Todd (25 years ago, 16-Sep-99, to lugnet.robotics)

Just remember, you must it very easy to post code and pictures or people will not end up using it a lot. Last time I went to the LDraw CAD group (months ago) it still had a few problems. I'm talking about no support for attachments (how can we post (...) (25 years ago, 16-Sep-99, to lugnet.robotics)
