Gallery Usage *Updated for New Software*

Post by Spike »

We went live today with some new gallery software that we hope will enhance your experience here. This new software integrates the gallery with the forums itself. Some notes:
  • * Users will now have only one login for both the forums and for the gallery.
    * Logging into the forum will automatically log you into the gallery.
    * Users may now have their own dedicated gallery that only they will be able to upload to.
    * The gallery is now capable of being embedded into the forums. Clicking the Gallery link at the top of the forum pages will do this.
    * A seperate Gallery page is available by using the Gallery link on the main rivetbangers.com page.
A small tutorial on how to use the new software is below. The older galleries were migrated to the new software but have been closed to additions. Users will now have their own independant galleries. If you want one just PM Spike or Cyphergirl.

As a reminder, our usage policy is as follows:
  • * Our gallery is intended to be used for RV related content and as such only things that are related to RV aircraft or flight shall be uploaded.
    * Absolutely zero questionable content (as determined by the moderators) will be allowed. This is to include things such as sexual content, vulgarity, obscenities, rascism, etc.
    * Photos uploaded are not gaurunteed to be backed up and as such should not be your only copy.
    * Users are limited to the amount of space available to them. At some point you will have to remove photos to upload more. We may decide to enlarge or decrease the quotas as necessary for site management.
    * The gallery is password protected to prevent internet spammers from abusing it. The account that you have for the forums will be recognized in the gallery. If you wish to upload photos and need a gallery, PM Spike or Cyphergirl.

Now, lets upload a photo ...

1) Click on the link at the top of the forums page called "Gallery".

Alternatively you could click on the "Gallery" link on the main rivetbangers.com page. You may have to login seperately if you have not already logged into the forums. If so you can find the login button at the top left of the page.


2) Navigate to the User's Galleries sub album

3) Navigate to your Gallery. They are listed in alphabetical order according to usernames. If you don't have a gallery and would like one PM Spike or Cyphergirl.

4) Select "Add Item" from the drop down menu of your album. This can be found in the top right corner of your album.

5) Enter the path name to the photo(s) you want to upload in the text input or alternatively you can click on "Browse" and use the file selection box to find the photo on your computer.

6) Once you have entered/browsed for the photos you want to upload, click on the "Add Image" button and wait. After a few minutes you should receive a message indicating success or failure. You wil also get a status message letting you know how much of your disk space that you have used.

At this point the photo(s) that you uploaded should appear in your album. If you wish to include your photo in one of your posts feel free to. If you are unsure how to do this please refer to the thread on including pictures in your posts.
