Should we stop them? Absolutely not! I follow them religiously, even if I rarely post. I often promise myself to post but somehow don't get around to doing it, probably as the standard of the posts are usually higher than the pics I have on offer.
Like Jeff Toorish says, I often don't see them until it's too late. Would it not be possible to subscribe to all future threads so that I'm being reminded automatically when the first posts are made? Currently I have to hope that I see when a new one is posted and then I subscribe to it.

There could be a reminder thread that everyone could subscribe to, so when a new theme thread is out someone could post the reminder to look for the new thread?

Have been away for a while, but have two comments.
First I always look at these threads. They give me ideas re things I might want to shoot myself.
Second I don't post for two reasons. First I don't think much of what I take is worth publishing, second it is just way too much work to get from image in the camera to a posted image in a thread perhaps I am doing it wrong, but to get from the raw image on my laptop to a small postable image in a forum just takes me too long. Likely I am making it too hard but it just doesn't seem to be simple to do.
I wonder if it might be worth having a built in conversion routine to accept any size jpg and convert it to an acceptable size for the board might gain more posts. Just a thought.

no.....don't take away my threads... I'll be good... I'll post more...I know it is a lot of work for you Alcina, we do appreciate it!!!!

Check out the sticky for ideas on how to make this painless. It takes me about 30 seconds to get an image up really
Lightroom - Export - choose my settings (66% quality, 650 longest side, 72 dpi, location to save on my computer, signature droplet). Go.
Photobucket (or ScubaBoard Gallery or flickr or your site or even the little photo icon at the top of every post) - choose folder, hit the upload. Copy the direct link, paste in my post here on SB. Viola - all done
Photoshop, Elements, Picasa, GIMP all have save functions that can help make life easier for posting to the web, too.

I second this!
OP
OK, so at least some people want to keep going, so I'll do my best to keep on top of things
For those who want another thread for updates, well, I don't know how that will work. But we'll check into it. Sometimes I barely have enough brain power to remember to put a new theme up so I'm not sure how great I'd be at remembering there was another thread I needed to update LOL
We could sure use some more themes, too. Here's the thread with what's been done "recently" and where you can put your ideas. Redoing themes we did a year ago or whatever is fine, but if anyone has more ideas, they are warmly welcomed!! The only criteria is that the suggestions must be diving related. Click here to see the themes and/or add your own!
Oh, and please keep adding your thoughts on our themes - if you like them, what we could do to make them better, how we could encourage you to contribute
