I was always under the impression, either real or imagined, that it was 20 too. However in looking back on the thread, post 1862 , the B-W does say it's 10. There are also some other rules that appear a bit out of date and not as applicable now that we don't have the same bandwidth issues as we had back in 2003 (or so I'm told as I haven't been around that long). Some of the rules that still are applicable, in my opinion, are:

1) Pictures must not be borrowed from the bandwidth of other sites. (No hotlinking)
2) Pictures must be no larger than 100K in file size.
3) Pictures must be related to Tolkien's works.
4) Captions will not be vulgar, religious, political, or otherwise inappropriate. You know what I mean.
5) Anyone can post a caption or picture.

I wonder if we should set the standard at 20 captions between pictures or if 10 to 15 is more realistic. As somebody who has posted a fair share of pictures I find it difficult to find good pictures and then to only see 10 captions can be irritating and doesn't allow enough time. Let's set it at 20 unless an admin directs otherwise.

In an attempt to avoid clutter on this board PM me if you have questions, comments or suggestions about this please.
