Hi all - we saw this van for sale on our travels. Thought it might be of interest to someone on the forum.

Hi,

Looks very much like an early 60's Gracemur, which is a Queensland built Sunliner.

Looks a pretty reasonable restoration.

hi all

as evidenced by JBJ's post, on january 4th, you were able to view the photos, but at the moment you can't because we have exceeded our storage limits for attachments. this condition currently applies to EVERY ATTACHMENT on this forum

that's one of the many reasons your moderators continue to encourage members to use a photo host like photobucket or similar hosts when displaying photos.

proboards have set storage limits for attachments in each forum, because they are forced to store the attached images on ALL THEIR FORUMS and this uses a lot of their resources.

we can pay to have our storage limits increased to guarantee that we are able to view attachments but to be fair, that would mean that we would need to raise funds from EVERY MEMBER of our forum and our moderators and administrators can't see that ever happening.

when a photo host is used by members, the only information stored by proboards is a hyperlink.

if you go back to the attachments periodically, you may find that they have become available for viewing but we don't know how often the attachment limit is reset.

The attachment system is going to be an ongoing problem for us. We exceed our monthly bandwith allowance by downloading these attachments to view them. The more people who download them for viewing, the faster we'll exceed our bandwith. Once we've gone over our limit, we lose the ability to see them until the next month.

The dumb thing about the attachments system is that the photo file size can be a minimum of 1 megabyte, up to a max set by our Admin. A 1 megabyte photo is a HUGE photo, and is not required for us to see the detail.

A typical photo size of 800 x 600 pixels has a file size of about 200 kilobytes, or one-fifth of the attachment minimum:




The next standard size photo down is 600 x 450 pixels, and has a file size of around 100 kilobytes, or one-tenth of the attachment minimum:




Both the above sizes are more than adequate for the forum. If you can't see clearly what you're trying to show, stand closer!

What's killing the attachments is that people are linking to photos taken at much larger sizes than either of the two sizes above. The monthly attachment bandwith allocation is based on the rest of us downloading those attachments to look at them.

What's the answer? The Proboards Managing Attachments help sheet shows what our Admin can set. Perhaps we need to set a limit of one attachment per post, and a maximum of 1 megabyte per attachment. Once somebody puts up a post with one attachment, they shouldn't be allowed to put any more attachments in that thread, and should be encouraged to use the alternate methods of Photobucket et al. If they attempt to put up a second post in that thread with another attachment in it, I reckon it should be deleted. Otherwise we will likely find ourselves facing the same issue every month.

Off my soapbox now...

cheers,
Al.

So..... We still dont know what happend to the van?

[mcspindle]

I drove through Tiaro about two weeks ago and saw this van. Still for sale on roadside.

I think it may be listed in Gumtree under the brand "Sundowner"' though the van is clearly a sunliner. Bauple is only 12km away from Tiaro. Am i a good detective? I have suggested he edit the listing. Should have asked him to cut it out to me for a couple of grand.
