Uploading pics

"As a member, you can create Albums of images that are linked to your public profile. Albums can be created by visiting the User Control Panel, and clicking on the 'Pictures & Albums' link, and then clicking on 'Add Album'."


No where on the UCP page does it say Pictures & Albums.

WTF????

[renegade_xs11g]

I can't see it either, checked the links, notta....

maybe one of the MODS can help.....poke.....poke

If you go to "Home" then click on members. Then click on members photo albums. You will see a list of people who have albums. At the top of that list you will see the words "your album". Click on that and create yours.

Just tried to upload one pic that way and got a white page. Went back to my album and nothing is there.
Operator difficulty, perhaps?

[renegade_xs11g]

Mine worked, is that the only place the can be viewed?????

TEST posting from album?

Okay, once you're in your photo album and viewing your photo, right click on photo, select properties, highlight/copy the text of the URL and paste here, and you can see below it works!

The photo will not upload. I go into Your Album, click Add a Photo. I then click Browse and select the pic I want to add. This shows up:

C:\Documents and Settings\Marc\Desktop\XS1100 pics & info\DSCN0467.JPG

I then click Add Items. The next page comes up all white and says Done in lower left corner.

Still not there. What am I doing wrong

Not sure about member photo page, but most of them have to be on a site like photobucket. Again, I could be wrong on these though.

[Giggity]

OK, now I've just wasted a bunch of time creating a Photobucket account and uploading a bunch of pics to it. I copy the Full Size option for
IMG for bulletin boards & forums
and paste it in the Member Photos File box. Next I click on Add Items and....

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING HAPPENS

By the way, T.C., I received and installed my fuse block Saturday. Thanks!

I dont know Giggity but that is exactly how I did it. I had never even tried before you asked so it was a learning experience here too. I found this morning that I can just go to the top center of any page to get to the members album so that is quicker to get there. The only thing I see different is I do not get a page with the word Done after I add items it just goes to my album. Someone who knows will help out soon I am sure. Good luck

Okay, I just did it myself...my album was empty, so I put one in it!

One thing I noticed was the message it showed afterwards...that I was using 67KB of the 1MB of alloted space!!!

Some digital photos are quite large, and at 7 megapixel resolution you'll have a photo that is larger than 1 MB in size, and that may be why you are not seeing anything? Would be best to RESIZE any photo you want to post to about 640 x 480 or such, should then be less than 100kb in size.

That's about all I can think of that might be causing the problem!
