Regarding the Trip reports thread I think that the new rules are a shame : Flyer Talk is a forum so not convenient to post a trip report.
Most of my trip reports have more than 100 pictures that's why I publish them on a convenient website and then post few pictures in the Trip Reports thread with the link.
May I say that I frequently find that reports have
too many photos (often of unnecessary things), or photos that are
too big to fit in the column width, or the depth available on your computer monitor (so you never get to see the whole picture without constant scrolling), or are
underexposed, or are
so close-up that you can't look at them....
Would much rather have some decent prose writing — and a limit on the number and size of photos.
