    But as I said, this is a discussion board. The pictures are just part of the discussions. Sales are just a service provided to members. If you are not going to discuss stuff then why should "pictures" be available?
    Thank you for making me feel welcome.

    Just to make some things clear: I do participate, just not a lot. I like to read reviews & look at the pictures. I have no interest in the sales.

    So if I would be allowed to see the pictures without using a magnifying glass, that would be great.

    Kind regards,

    Jos

    Personally I'm fine with people viewing the forum/pictures without posting.

    Clearly you aren't.

    I think we'll have to agree to disagree.

    Lots of people are shy. Lots of people don't think they should post unless they have something unique or interesting to share.

    Some people probably are intimidated by the occasional strange, unfriendly or hostile posts that can be found here from time to time. If you don't visit a lot, you might run across things here that can be jarring, compared to some websites, and if there's no context in which to put it, you might think you walked into the wrong party.

    FPG could if it chooses operate as a private club, or an invitation-only forum. However it appears to me to be run as an open forum that welcomes legitimate members. It seems more welcoming to offer all members the full range of options right away, and since that's how FPG operates in all other areas, I'd assume the photo thing is mistake or unknown bug, rather than something intended. Though perhaps it is in response to some sort of spamming problem, and if so, perhaps there's a compromise solution that won't turn away quiet people who enjoy the website and might some day start to post.

    I have absolutely no issue with whether or not folk can see pictures and if the membership wants to change the current set up they certainly can petition to have stuff changed.

    You are most welcome. If I did not welcome you before then Welcome Home. Pull up a stump and set a spell. And I bett by the time this thread ends you will have enough posts to see the pictures.

    I say "welcome". Don't let the others turn you off from checking around the forum. Unfortunately, I think it stinks you can't see the pics. Hopefully someone can change that.
