    Victor (and anyone else who cares),
    There's been a lot of discussion lately about the appaling quality of road signage in Ireland. I feel we should have a site where folks can contribute pics of offending signs, together with a note about location and what's wrong with the sign, roadmoarking etc., from the most obvious to the least. Maybe we can then get the NRA and the local authorities to actually rectify these problems. We're great at moaning in Ireland but save for a few groups, poor at doing anything about it.

    Is there any possibility we could host the pics we all take (kept to under 100K each) somewhere round here?

    Cheers! :)

    Are you suggesting setting up a website or just running a thread on boards?

    Each boards member has a small amount of hosting space http://members.boards.ie/

    I think you'd be better off using one of the many free image hosting sites such as

    Do imageshack have download/capacity limits?

    100Mb per hour for each image. If you can generate that much traffic for an image of a roadsign (that doesn't have a nakid woman draped across it) you'll be doing well. :D

    That was my next tactic to get the NRA's attention. :)

    Will do. One of the guys on SABRE is going to set up a proper website and host it but SABRE has very few irish contributors, much wider audience here to collect photos from :)
