I hope it's not too late to join the club (if I'm worthy of course) ;D. I came home prepared to fix up myself and take a pic to upload (as reserved as I am), only to find a change of plans :-\.
Setting up an album (forum area) accessible only by members is not a problem, but you know what will happen; people will sign up just to see our pics Do we want bloated membership numbers, or do we just leave it as is - viewable by all? Let me know your thoughts.
