Posting Photos and Text in the Owners Gallery?

Navy · 01-20-2003, 01:33 PM

I realize that I am computer retarded and probably not very strong on people skilss also, but I have spent some time today taking pictures of my Imperial U boat ensemble and would like to post for others enjoyment.

Is there a *SIMPLE*, "step 1, step 2, step 3" way for a technically challenged no talent such as myself to post these? They are kinda neat.

Tom, first make sure you are not running an ad-blocking software that prevents pop-up windows.

Then go to the member gallery and register as a user there... it is a separate registration than using the forum because it is a separate piece of software running under the forum.

Once you have registered you should see a new menu selection at the top of the page for creating new albums (a privilege of registering in the gallery).

Take that link and a blank album will be created. Then when you go to that album, you will have a menu choice for adding photos. A pop-up window will appear for adding photos.

If you are going to add more photos than there are lines in this windown then just use the pull down to select the number of photos that you will send. You just use the browse buttons to search your computer and select the photos one at a time for each line in the window.

When you are done selecting the photos to be sent to the album, then use the button that sends them. This will take several minutes depending on how large the photo files are.

Once the upload is finished, the photos are in your album and you can edit the album title and description to suit you...

Good luck... reply here if you need more help, but I may not be able to get back to you until tomorrow.

Can't wait to see your new pics!
