I guess this is "Goodbye" already. Only been a member since September 25th. I just tried to upload pics of my second model, and I'm unable for some reason. It says I have plenty of space left. And they are all jpg's. So I don't understand. And what fun is it too be a part of a group that doesn't allow you to share your hard work? It's a shame, because this was the best site I've been referred to so far. Good things never last long.

But becose the photo is the main problem here why instead of teach people how deal with a absolete and problematic sistem is not possible fix the problem and finaly improve the sistem at 2016 standard?...

Kit maker network is bloody owesome but some thigs looks little bit dated...

Bear in mind the guys that keep this site running do so out of the goodness of their hearts, and whatever time they would have to commit to completely rebuild the site would come at the expense of spending that time on their families, hobbies, etc.

Yes, it looks a bit dated
Yes, the technology used may not be the most current
Yes, some aspects of the site are a bit cumbersome to use

and Yes, I am sure that we can find many more things of kitmaker that can't compete with multi billion dollar sites like Facebook, or Twitter or ...

and no, I don't care because what really matters is sharing modelling experiences with like-minded souls from "everywhere" and for that purpose, the technology and lay-out are more than sufficient. This is a modelling community, not a computer club.

Hai Vicious,

You are viciously absolutely right

Let's hope that the mighty forces behind kitmaker listen and act.

In my view, the best solution would be that all pictures are initially posted in the picture gallery of choice of the poster. Making a link to such gallery is not that difficult.

However, I think that it remains important for a site like kitmaker to "own" the pictures that appear somewhere in a thread. Otherwise (imagine "photo.net" stopping activities) we risk ending up with a lot of broken picture links on the site and that's horribly annoying. This could of course be done by an automated procedure.

but by the same token it seems a bit unrealistic to complain so strenuously about a service that is being provided free of charge.

I can appreciate the notion that one should not invest in a product with which one is disassatisfied; but by the same token it seems a bit unrealistic to complain so strenuously about a service that is being provided free of charge.

While I would not go so far as to say that comments on management of the site would carry more weight if they had a SUBSCRIBER badge above them, I will say it seems a bit disingenuous to say that it''s not been managed well without simultaneously doing what is within one's power to assist.

I'm here to tell you the gallery system is not that difficult to use. That doesn't mean there isn't a learning curve and there isn't room for improvement, but don't lose sight of what it really is (or perhaps more importantly, what it isn't). KMN supports a much smaller community, and consequently has a fraction of the traffic of the major socia networking site. Logically, thead revenue is a fraction of those sites, and the guys do their best, but it's unrealistic to expect KMN to measure up to the same standard.
