A suggestion that I would like one and all to comment on please.  I am not a techno IT person, but have long wished to create a web site that would help people identify the approximate date of, the location of and subject matter of old photo's.  The two fold problem I have/had was being able to make it pay for itself.  I see the potential of this site offering something along the lines of what I would like to have created and ask the following question:

Would you, if you had an unidentified photograph be willing to make a small payment to the site if you had uploaded it and a member/s had identified it for you?  Maybe an honesty box like system, a small fee of say £1.50 a picture for the service?  It could be run in a separate part of the site so it doesn't clog-up the forums etc.  I for one would willingly pay that, would you?

 Maybe as a newbie I go too far?

 Regards to all who take time to read this.

 Colin

Hi again Colin, I think it's a great idea and will pass the suggestion to Chris and Sarah for consideration. However, the one problem I see is the collection of the fee, unless of course it was paid via PayPal as in the case of a donation.

Food for thought, thats for sure. Thank you, no doubt you will hear more about this, well done!

Sounds like a great idea to me Ron. I think Colin might be on to something. Paypal would be the easiest payment method.

Thanks Syd for bringing this to the top again. Chris and Sarah will no doubt comment in due course, although I can tell you that when I mentioned it to them, they thought it was a good idea.
