I haven't got the EA Header and logo on yet. Maybe I'll have time to do that tomorrow.

Also, until I get an email from the web host, you won't be able to install gif files. Only jpg and png for now.

But, the premium members can create their own albums. (You have to create an album in the "My Gallery" area before you can upload.)

You have 5 megs of storage space for your pictures.

Enjoy.

Sorry there is no album where you are allowed to upload files

Sup?

You have to create an album first in the premium area. Leslie has successfully done it, and maybe able to explain how to do it from the user side. The interface for y'all is very different than what I see as admin.

Sure thang....

"Create or Move an album" is the first button you select.

Create and name your album, save it.

Then at the top of the album main page is a link that says "Upload Files", which is where you can upload up to five files at a time.

After you upload them the album program automatically takes you to a screen that gives you an opportunity to name each photo, describe it and put it into the album you made earlier.

Not there.

Sorry, yes, Create/Order is correct. Click that, it will take you to a new page.

You'll see a white box with a button for "Delete" and "New" under it. Click New.

Type your album's name in the small white line under the bigger box, then click on the "Apply Modifications" button

then.....

Yep - choose that one. Then click "New", name your album and save it.

Click on the "Upload files" link at the top of the gallery main page.

This will bring up a new page that allows to upload 5 photos or five URLs to off site albums.

Click the "choose file" button. That will pop up a window to your own computer file selection, where you can find your photo file and select it.

After selecting/choosing your photos, click the "continue" button.

A "Successful Upload" page appears. Click continue again.

A screen will pop up for each file you uploaded that allows you to name the file, describe the photo, select options for photo viewers to do. Once done' click continue. Each photo will get a new window, until all photos have been moved one by one into your album created in step one.

Then it will tell you your album has been created and it awaiting approval.

A few minutes later it will show up in the gallery.

**amykhar** · #12 08-22-2004, 10:09 PM

Actually, the approval step has been turned off for your private albums.

Got it. Thanks!

**theworm**[$] · #14 08-22-2004, 11:58 PM

I created an album, but all my photos are apparently too large to upload.

(or is that to download???)

**amykhar** · #15 08-23-2004, 12:04 AM

Gif images work now. Wormie, take the Gimp that you download (you did download it right?) and resize your images. It's easy to do and it scales them right down.

Files can't be any larger than 1024 kb because larger files cause issues with the script.

Um? "gimp"???
In English, how do I resize?

**amykhar** · #17 08-23-2004, 12:07 AM

Let me reinstall the Gimp. BRB. You did install it right?

Amy

**theworm**[$] · #18 08-23-2004, 12:08 AM

Beats me. What's a Gimp?

**theworm**[$] · #20 08-23-2004, 12:17 AM

Um. TheEye will be here next weekend. She'll help me. I don't know what I'm doing with the install.

**amykhar** · #21 08-23-2004, 12:29 AM

1. Download and install the GTK for Windows.
2. Download and install the Gimp for Windows.
3. Open the Gimp
4. Open your picture in the Gimp (File -> Open)
5. From the Image menu, select Scale Image.
Just change the width or the height. It will adjust the other dimension to scale. Go down so the largest dimension (height or width) is 400 px.

**amykhar** · #22 08-23-2004, 12:30 AM

Just run setup for the GTK one first wormie. Accept all the defaults. Then run setup for the Gimp and accept all the defaults. You'll do just fine

Thanks for all the info, Amy! This is great. :thumbs:

ms_n · #24 08-23-2004, 04:25 AM

Well, I got GIMP to function and followed Amy's directions. The picture was downsized and posted! Yay! I can't figure out how to do anything else, though. LOL. But, it sure will be fun trying to figure it all out.

There was one default that I probably should have checked with Amy first about. It had something to do with memory and said to judge the need against other running processes or something. I just left it at 64 mb, I think, where it was already positioned. I can't remember.

Anyway, I got my photo up. Yay!

Sweet! Thank you, Amy.
