Hi all,

I wonder why.. the gallery is: 'closed for uploads'?

@ Jeep

You can't upload , because you haven't subscribed to be a TU member .

If you look closely in the name ,-and avatar section of any posts in the forum , you will see , that some guys are indicated as members there and some are not .

Only TU members have completely full access to all features of this site now .

I have signed on almost immediately , with our Euro currency presently strong against the Dollar it would cost you less per month than you would pay for a single beer in a bar !

Redg8r should put some notice on the gallery page itself that only members get to upload. This would eliminate confusion for new members and others who aren't aware of the new policy.

You must drink expensive beer in Germany!

Diemai,
I think you are wrong. I am a TU member, and still, I cannot post pictures in the gallery.
Let's clarify some terms. There are 2 types of TU members here. The "simple" ones, as myself (maybe you can find a more appropriate word than myself for such members), and TU Club members.

@ rofish

Sorry , my mistake , certainly I mean "TU club member" , but I am sure , that people can figure out , what I intended to say !

@ 76gator

But chemical free !

Payed about 23 € for that annual TU club memberfee , and due to that special offer I get some months free as well , and you won't get a small beer on draught for less than 2 € in a bar Germany , suppose not in The Netherlands as well , would be rather more(don't know for sure , since I have packed up with drinking for some years now) . Converted this would be about 3,60 $ .
In Scandinavian countries its much more expensive .

But I'm getting off topic here , sorry !

2 weeks ago I had the same problem and assumed the galleries were closed to all members for some technical reason. When I started seeing new pics but it was still closed to me, it dawned that maybe there was a problem with "permissions" on my account. A note to Jerry (hit the "Contact Us" prompt at the bottom of the page) and the problem was fixed. Hey, these are computers. Ya gotta expect a few glitches just to keep it interesting!

Diemai,
I don't know how much a beer costs in the bars of my town. I don't go to bars, because when I have some spare time I use it for fishing or lure making
But I can tell you that I pay $0.8 - 1.00 for a beer of half a liter when I buy it in food shops.

Guys,

Allright, the fee will be no problem for me since beer is also not cheap here in Holland.

And.. I just really like this site too much.
But.. I just think that it isn't very clear that from nowon you can only post in the gallery if you are a paying member.
I thought there had to be some technical problem or a disk quota limit etc.
Also in my opinion it isn;t a very smart thing to do; first offer people a lot of nice stuff; like posting pics of stuff you make for free and then at some point when your site is a success take away those right and charge a fee.
As I said; no problem here I love this place. Maybe just because I'm in website design myself.

Jeep,
Who pays for the web sites you design or does it all come out of your pocket? It wasn't a matter of the site becoming successful and starting to charge a fee.

It was more a matter of being able to keep TU up and running without putting the entire work load and costs on one individual to keep the site we all enjoy and want to see continued. TU is a tackle making site that discusses both proven and experimental methods of making baits; and the forums offer a place to discuss those methods

If you are satisfied with the current level of access you have, great. If you would like to expand your access just click the TU Club Membership.

Your current level of access was decided upon by the current paying TU Club Membership after a fairly lengthy discussion, so don't blame a single individual, it was majority rule.
