Is anyone else having problems uploading pictures in to gallery? I try to upload one pic at a time, and it says "upload successful" but when I look at my photos, they are not there.

Re: Uploading Pics into Gallery
I'm having trouble just plain uploading pictures. I've read Mike's forum on how to upload photos and read that website he included but I still can't figure it out. It keeps saying my file size is too big, and I can't figure out how to resize the photos. Help!Shane

Try opening the picture in windows Paint application. Go to "start" menu, then click on "accessories near the top, then click on "paint". When you're there click "open" at the top left of the screen and look in the file where your pics are located and open them. After that, click on "image" on the top toolbar in the Paint window. Then click on "stretch/skew". this will let you resize your image by percentages.
Hope this helps"Surely you can't be serious!?"

Re: Uploading Pics into Gallery
I just uploaded this photo and everything is working normally.
Old Classroom at Meguiar's
I wrote a how-to article on how to upload pictures and part of what I wrote is to go over in DETAIL everything that has to be just right in order for it to work. Read through it and see if you're making one of the common mistakes often made like using the wrong format for a file name or too HUGE of a photo...
Lots of photos with words in the photos to show you what to do and what not to do...
How to place an image in your messages
You can also e-mail me one of your photos and let me try, often times if I can't upload it I can tell you what the problem is. (This is part of how I learned how to write the above how-to article from finding out where people are having problems because they e-mailed me their photos)

Wrote this one this morning,
Working with photos on discussion forums
When it comes to adding a picture to your message, there's multiple ways to do it, here are three tutorials that will teach you everything you need to know in order to,
- Crop out the fluff.
- Resize the image to a normal size.
- Upload your photos into a PhotoPost Gallery and then insert them into your message.
How to resize your photos before uploading
How to place an image in your messages
How to delete a photo in your gallery
I use Lveiw Pro almost everyday and it's getting harder to find the shareware version...
Just a hint....
Also, anytime you see I'm online give me a call and I can walk you through it, all you need to know is the folder where your photos are located. I've talked on the phone to people that didn't know where the were located thus the requirement.

Re: Uploading Pics into Gallery
Is uploading images to posts and the galleries the same thing? I can put pics in posts just fine, its uploading pics into the member galleries that I'm having trouble with. I got two pics in but Im having trouble with the others I want to add."Surely you can't be serious!?"

We don't allow people to
Attach File
That means add a photo to your message simply by clicking the Manage Attachments button.
You have to upload your photo into the gallery and then insert it. That's why theres articles on how to upload photos into the gallery. WE think long term, we've already been around for over 100 years, that's pretty long term. Attaching a photo is a short term approach that corrupts the database over time and hogs up resources.
There's an article on this in Hot Topics that explains why. Hang on...

Re: Uploading Pics into Gallery
From our Hot Topics forum, (Theres so much info in this forum group)
Why can't I attach a picture to my message?
This is also why we purchased the PhotoPost software and provide all our members with plenty of gallery space.
