threegee Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 Fully integrated Personal Photo Galleries will be added some time next month [Editor: That was written in October so we mean this month - November]. The delay is due to minor software bugs - which are being worked on as I write.This gives you plenty of notice to get your collection of interesting pictures together and have them ready to upload! You can still upload pictures to posts, and, of course, those brave enough to start a blog can include their own graphics. But, the Galleries have automatic thumb-nail/photo-album creation, voting, commenting, extensive linking support to ensure minimum browsing effort, ability to send your pick of the photos to others as a greeting card, slide shows, photo sharing with other Bedlington Gallery owners, etc. etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
threegee Posted November 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 Although the Gallery is now on-line, and you can create an Album (or several Albums, there's no limitation on how many you can have!), there's a rather restrictive limit on the size of image that you can upload. It's probably good enough for almost all phone pix, but precludes high resolution stuff.This isn't a file size limitation but a pixel count limitation. It's due to the large amount of memory the server needs to process the thumbnails. Presently members can upload 800 x 600 images but not 1024 x 768 images. We are working to remove this limitation at an early date.You create a gallery album through "My Controls" (the link up top), and you can choose whether it is a private album or viewable by the public. Albums are private by default. You can turn the public switch on or off from your panel on an album by album basis, so you don't have to actually show a particular photo album until you're happy with it, and can turn it on and off (or delete it entirely) at your whim.Please feel free to experiment. You can contact me for help through my PMS button - click on my BB name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

threegee Posted November 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 has this problem been sorted, I have a few pictures to sendYou'll be able to upload providing the pictures aren't too big (800 x 600 pixels or less). However.. we're carrying out a software upgrade later in the week, and will see if the present limits can be upped by a considerable factor.Anyone having difficulties can always contact me directly (click on my profile and PM or eMail me) and I'll happily post-process the pictures to suitable sizes and resolutions for them.

threegee Posted November 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 has this problem been sorted, I have a few pictures to sendThe problem is now sorted.I've tested with up to approx half megabyte files (really too big for the web anyway), and it not only works fine but the thumbnail generator doesn't bomb out either!I think the file size limit is set to 1MB - will confirm and test this when I get a quiet moment. Will bump the available upload space as actualy needed. Presently there's about 50MB globally available, but this can be increased to anything sensible if it's being used productively for the Town - and not filled with crap!Getting the Galleries and Blogs back on line is now a priority - got some pix to post myself.Uploads may be restricted to the members only forums in future; we'll see how it gos.Enjoy!
