Your own gallery

[RAYAR]

Currently doesn't seem to be a clickable link to your own gallery. You have to go into the search and make sure your 'user name' box is checked to find your gallery by your user name, at least that's how I had to find mine. Pics were also very slow to load. Maybe this is something still being worked out on this new update. ... Ray

thats how I looked up my gallery too.

[SwampDonkey]

Jeff and Jeremy recently said that is still being ironed out.

[RAYAR]

Gallery seemed to be working fine now. (Tuesday)

[SwampDonkey]

Not here, can't open an album to access the photos inside.

[Jeff]

try again with this new ugly template. Se if the old template was the issue

[TroyC]

Worked fine just now for me just viewing my gallery. Thanks Jeff!

[Magicman]

Yupper, back up.  It's good to see an old friend !!!    ;)

[Jeff]

Please let me know now if everything in the galley works as expected.

[Don P]

Dat worked, woohoo!

[Magicman]

To see if I could add a picture from the gallery.

The above is the first picture ever taken of my sawmill when it was new to me and it is on my business card.

[Jeff]

By posting the code given in the gallery now, you can click on the image, go to the gallery to see the photo, and if you look down at the info box, you can then click into the gallery where that photo is. Just something I noticed

[SwampDonkey]

That works Jeff.

[Magicman]

Not only did clicking on my photo lead me to mind, I clicked on Donk's photo and it led me to his.

[SwampDonkey]

Same.

[Jeff]

Wel, these all sound like improvements

[SwampDonkey]

You're doing great Jeff. She's coming together.

My pic are too big to post, Do I have to do something with my PC to fix it?

[Don P]

I can right click on mine and reduce to 20%, usually works fine.

Yes, you need to reduce the size of your pictures to a point they will upload.

Believe can also change your phone to take pics that fit to fewer megabytes. As well, the images can be cropped without losing much clarity. There are videos to watch that have the details for taking "smaller" megabyte pics too, search "reduce photo size in phone".  Phones go a bit overboard to take huge photos that are not much good unless making a room-size photo to paper a wall with a pic.

Most modern phones take huge images by default, this cheap Samsung saves default images over 4mb.  Lils is 5-8 mb and can go up over 17 mb. Great if you want to print a large photo, WAY bigger than you need for a Web page. Hogs server space and bandwidth plus takes longer to download, especially on a slow connection.

Best way to resize depends on what you are using. This is the instructions to do it on my Samsung phone

There will be a similar function on an IPhone, and any modern PC should have some sort of picture editing. GIMP is a free full feature photo editor, but overkill for simple resizing.

The image sizes you want is more like 1,000 pixels wide, rather than the 4,000 the camera saves. File size needs to be under 2 mb, vs the 4+ original. A quick play on my phone shows a 4mb picture shrunk to 40% and saved is now only 0.8 mb, and only screen sized (1300) in pixels. So it uploads fine.
