New "photo gallery" feature to test

[mattadams]

OK I've tested this out a bit, it SHOUDL use your same username/password from the RMFTC forums, I believe I've got them integrated.
Right now users have a limit of 5 megs worth of pictures, which includes the image that gets created as a thumbnail. We'll see how this works out, it's not enough for a picture of every little mod, but hopefully enough!

Let me know if you find any bugs or problems!

nifty
I'll try to get my best pics together and put em up

That's pretty cool Matt. I quickly loaded about 10 pictures.

Cory even figured out how to upload a picture to his gallery.

:rofl:
I'm sure he likes that picture.

[Walking Eagle]

He's out of the office for now. He'll probably kick my ass when he gets back. I may become the first MIA member.

i smell trouble...

[mattadams]

LOL wow I didn't know Cory was so willing to admit hit faults...

[mattadams]

I have set it up to show 6 random images from the galleries on the main page. So lets start getting some more photos in there! :)

Okay, I'm the big dork. I can't figure out how to create an album. When I click on create album, what do I do from there? Are the pics uploaded from my puter or do they need to be on a host site?

[mattadams]

You should see an "upload" thing up in the upper right-hand corner, click on that and it should walk you through uploading them. They can be either on a host site, or on your hard drive.
FYI, because someone else asked, you are able to link to these images from other sites, hopefully the bandwidth will stay under control :).

Thanx Matt...now I have to go wash my "X"...but for a good reason. Poor baby, he needs more pictures taken! :P

[Warrlord]

{EDIT} I got it figured out. Thanks

This is what I get when I click on "upload"

ERROR
Sorry, there are no albums where you are allowed to upload files

[mattadams]

Did you get it figured out, because I saw you uploaded about 5 pictures :).

I think there's going to be trouble tomorrow morning. Cory saw the picture before he went home and said he would retaliate.

I want to give a warning now. If I admit to anything, say something negative, make myself look like an ass, etc. I probably did not do it. It will be Cory messing around at work before I get there.

I only got one picture to work. I get an error that tells me that the picture either doesn't exist or is corrupt. or something like that

well, I got three pics to work, but those are the only three pics that will work that are on my whole computer....
some say the pixel amount is too big, others say the file doesn't exist, others say that there is no data, etc...

[mattadams]

Hmm havent come across that one... are you sure the images are good and all? Can you copy and paste the exact error and I'll do a little troubleshooting.

[Walking Eagle]

I had an error last night when uploading. I switched the file to a .jpg type and then it worked fine.

[rino351]

huh :? I just tried the exact same pictures that weren't working earlier, and they worked fine.
I tried them several times before, and it kept giving me errors, but now, for some reason, they worked
cool :D

[Edit]-- Sweet, now, everytime I uploaded one, it worked.

[mattadams]

Wow glad to see some folks are using it! Looks great!

[Walking Eagle]

I think it's very cool addition. After a couple of minutes, it's easy to use, even Cory was able to figure it out.

[Walking Eagle]

I found it allows you to crop and rotate pictures in your own gallery.

Are there links from the galleries back to the forums or other areas?

[mattadams]

Unfortunately I have no control over the links in the photo gallery, I'm going to see if I can "hack" some links in there though...
