uploading to gallery!

[michael71]

Hi, I have added an album and uploaded images to that, but how do you upload to the gallery?

Very good question, have scratched my head on this one also :-)

Yes, it is a bit hidden if you don't know it is there...

Michael: If you go to the Gallery, there is a horizontal menu with an "Upload Photos" link at the far right (just above the "Search" box).

Martin: you won't have this option until you have made six posts in the forum (and it can take the system an hour to promote you after that as it is on an automatic timer). This automatic rule was included to avoid fly-by picture posting - believe it or not, people registering, uploading a couple of dozen pics and then never being seen again became a bit of a problem. I have no idea why people do that - we are not flickr! - but they do...

When you go to the gallery page there should be an option to upload photos on the right hand side of the grey banner ?

Thanks Bob. Was thinking that I might have to make a number of posts before being allowed post pictures. Makes sense

And now you have ... (but as I said, it will take the system a while to upgrade you now you have made 6 posts).

Yes... Can't remember them... I'll check...

... [1 minute later ] ...


Max file size 200kB each, 1500x1500 pixels (but I suggest keeping below 1000 as not everyone has a big enough screen to display 1500 pixels - I tend to use 800 pixels maximum), 5 pictures per day, total of 5MB for all uploads.
