Problems posting in the gallery

Doug G. · 02-25-2003, 03:11 PM

Ok, I registered, I logged in and don't see anything that allows me to upload pics. I have Norton and Black Ice, but I turned both off and still nothing! What am I doing wrong?

John Sabato · 02-25-2003, 03:33 PM

Doug, once you will be presented the opportunity and menu choice to upload photos when you are logged in. You may upload photos ONLY in albums that you have created...

Once logged in You should have a menu choice for creating new albums...

Once you create an album you should see all these choices once you have logged into the gallery... (but only inside one of your own albums)

[add photos] [new nested album]
[captions] [sort] [resize all] [rebuild thumbs]
[properties] [permissions] [view all comments] [slideshow] [logout]

The Gallery is not that difficult to navigate, you just have try things and see how they work. Ask here if you run across something that roadblocks you just like you did this time and we will be glad to help.

John, the problem is that I don't see a menu at all!Where should it be located on the screen?

John Sabato · 02-25-2003, 04:02 PM

Top Right... There should be a menu in the same place as the links for [register] & [login]

Once logged in you should see a "new album" choice.

I don't know how many ways there are to access this forum, but I have been lead to understand that not everybody comes in through www.lugerforum.com - so perhaps the menu list at the left of the screen is not being presented depending on how the site was accessed.

Also, the QuickReply feature has made some new members unaware that photos may be posted in the topics as well as the Gallery. If you do not use the "postreply" button and only use the QuickReply, you do not have the option of posting an "Image".

I seem to recall that Ed Tinker created a tutorial on posting pictures, but I currently cannot find it in the Tech or General Information. The "Upload Photos" feature and how to copy and paste the location of the uploaded image appears to remain a mystery to a lot of folks.

While I am on the topic of graphics, it seems that a lot of custom avatars have disappeared (mine included). I know that these things get clobbered from time to time. Is it possible to place these custom avatars in a permanent location similar to the generic avatar selections, so that individual members can restore their avatars without having to resort to system administrators to replace them?

John Sabato · 02-25-2003, 04:47 PM

Ron,

Only have a minute so please excuse the short response...

the Photo upload tutorial is located in this very forum (Site Help and Feedback)...

If you open your profile for editing, you will see a great new feature for setting your avatar to either a cataloged one, or one that you can input...

I recommend that ALL members enter through the Lugerforum.com homepage and then open the discussions in a separate window if desired...

Edward Tinker · 02-25-2003, 05:12 PM

Ron, I looked to and it has disappeared down the list, it used to be stuck up on the top, and now it has sunk below

.

Before John had it so it would stay at the top.

Ron Wood · 02-25-2003, 06:22 PM

Thankee kindly gents. Mayhaps a better place for permanent or semi-permanent tutorials would be in either the Tech or General Information sections.

John Sabato · 02-27-2003, 03:19 PM

Doug, please try to access the Member Gallery again and I believe you will find that you can now create albums and then upload photos...

See you Private Messages for a more detailed explanation.

Doug G. · 02-27-2003, 11:45 PM

John, thank you for all the help! it works like a charm now. Have already posted pics of eight of my Lugers and a controversial one that I do not own!
