I must be missing something. If ECCIE actually does age verification before letting providers have a showcase - and supposedly they do/did - then where's the risk? Originally Posted by Bobave

The ability to upload pics onto postings as attachments are what's going away now showcases so those should remain fine as they are. The only real items affected here are ladies who still upload pics onto their ad's and the guys who are used to uploading their travel pics onto their postings..

Most guys are already hosting their own bcd pics already Originally Posted by BLM69
That's my observation as well so for the most part some folks wont even notice.

Well truthfully our membership is pretty good at sniffing those out and reprint it. I mean if you saw that bs and had the ability to do something about it here I'd imagine you would since that would help you out from losing your hard earned money.

Mojojo,
According the quote from Lea Madison, the showcases are going to be affected by this change. I have no idea if the quote is accurate, but are you saying that showcases will NOT be affected, only the ladies ads? If so, then presumably, Lea misunderstood what was being changed.

"Finally ECCIE will no longer be hosting image attachments however members are more than welcome to use third party image hosting sites to hot-link their images to the site.
The showcase will be particularly affected when the turn off the attachment feature. In the Showcase you have an option of uploading pictures or inserting the URL address of a third party storage site like Image Coast. You may want to start modifying your Showcase soon before the Upload feature is discontinued."

Technical skills are not required. The software will have sections pre-coded like Gallery, Contact, Rate, Schedule and FAQ. One would just need to type in the text to customize it for them.

There are two threads regarding the showcase pictures. They have identical titles, one has been viewed 1100 times and the other one 250. It looks like the showcase pictures will still be allowed, but the upload/download feature for attachments will be turned off. You won't be able to upload new pictures in the future. The suggestion is to have a link to a website or some other service that can display your pictures.
Having an "escort" website can be all well and fine and it works for many ladies.
Although - this was how I was discovered by my X in the past and caused much anguish in my personal life.

That is why I choose to go a different route.

Also - a note about the "free" escort websites - if you want a quality look - they will charge for upgrades.

I was glad to see I could post pics on a "typical" webhosting site and be able to design how I wanted it to be ... and not a cheezy template.

I would never consider posting on a "porn" site - I have too much to risk.

Just consider this ladies - the internet never goes away. If you don't have a family or plan to have a real relationship ... then post everywhere any way you like.

Showcases are not being affected they will remain as usual. Sherry it might be best in the future for you to get clarity before declaring that the sky is falling.

Also in the future double check where you are copying and pasting from..
