Hi Alastair,
Sorry to hear you resigned as an admin. You did great work for the group. When your web hosts talk about "enterprise" rates, what sort of figures are they talking about?

It wasn't so much the cost as that fact that they were demanding 10 times what I was paying before and had locked me out of my site. The existing providers were rubbish, really.
I suppose I could find a better quality host for under $200 a year. It's more a question of if it would really be worthwhile. As far as I can see, the quality of the group is still going downhill. There doesn't seem to be much point indexing the worlds largest collection of American backyard birds.

Once again, Alastair exhibits his subtle bias towards anything that upsets his equilibrium...now it's American backyard birds...a pity....

Well, I disagree with Alastair over his last but one sentence, but don't forget that all the fantastic contribution that Alastair gave to this pool while he was an admin. I know you didn't see eye to eye with him, Rick, but the fact is that Alastair's contribution to this group was enormous and I know I'm not alone in being sorry that he's stepped down.
Even without his ongoing support, the work he did enabled us to make a lot of improvements in the pool, and he did more than anyone over a period of several months to tag photos and improve the pool. For me, big thanks to Alastair for his past efforts, and to all the other admins and other contributors (including you, Rick) who've made this group what it is.

The index made it quick and easy to tag un-tagged photos and to invite new birds to the pool. Without the idex these two huge tasks are tedious and time consuming.

What is the point of making a purely-personally-insulting statement such as this? Such behaviour is rude, silly, childish and objectionable (and that's an objective description - not a baseless insulting one). I have no problem with discussions, disagreements, arguments or even full-on rows - if they stick to the subject at hand. But insulting people for the sake of it is just way off the mark and requires an apology.

Sorry to interupt your guys argument, but can someone tell me how to get some photos into your pool ? I'm a bit new to all this.
Thank you in advance.

Thanks Brian. From your photo page you can select the "Send to group" icon just above the photo. Alternatively you can go to Organize, select the 'Groups' tab and go from there.

Brian, the other thing you need to do is read the group rules before posting.
Quote: "This is not just another group for people to post random photos of birds, but it is an attempt to build an online Identification Guide of the birds of the world. The features of the bird must be clearly visible in your photo and the bird must be positively identified and tagged with its scientific (Latin) name."
Generally untagged head shots of captive birds add little to the Field Guide.
