E mailing to my gallery

[moodnacreek]

Recently we e mailed a scan of a few pages of an old sawmill brochure to a member. I was wondering if I could scan and e mail these brochures to my gallery for others to see. Any suggestions?   Thanks, Doug

Take a good clean picture with a smartphone, crop it and upload as a jpeg.

A scan is usually higher quality and is usually a jpeg or pdf which is fine in the gallery. I don't think you can email to your gallery but I've hit the "click here to add Photos to post" button at the bottom of the reply window here and put scans in my gallery and then posted the link.

The gristmill stuff, I stuck on my own webspace and linked to here because there were so many pages and it was kind of off topic to the forum.

I get the feeling you have a lifetime library that is really cool. If it is more than should go in the gallery here and if it is out of copyright, I think that's 75 years? I'd be happy to put it on my webspace for you to link to, that is getting into whatever the admins are comfortable with as well.

Pdfs of pictures are not aloiwed as uploads. Only as a document. 

You also may not direct peopke to a gallery, you must direct them to a post that contains the photos.

Pdfs of pictures are not allowed as uploads. Only as a document.

You also may not direct people to a(n off-site) gallery, you must direct them to a post that contains the photos.

Added the bold above as I think that is what Jeff was meaning.  And the linked photos must reside in a Forestry Forum Gallery!

No - Jeff meant what he said.  Photos are not to be simply uploaded into a gallery and stored there, the purpose of the gallery is to hold photos that are displayed in a post.

OK, didn't read it that way, but already knew that the FF gallery is not for consumption outside the forum.  Probably should have the link to the rules in this thread... or just look at the bottom of the page for Forestry Forum Rules

Well thanks for the replies and the offer from Don P.  I and ignorant of most of the language and never bought a cell phone or modern camera. It is just that my wife can scan and e mail so I thought it might work for me but I will forget it because I understand that I cannot direct people to it and that was the plan.

You can create a post titled "Old sawmill brochure - need to see this", upload the photos and include them in the post, the direct folks to it all day long.  If you visit other forums and see that many of their photos are blank with a space labeled "Photo Bucket" you will understand why this Forum is set up the way it is, nobody can take away the photos from this Forum like happened with all of those.

That sounds good. Maybe after the holidays and deer season I can get the special one to sit down and try that. Also been trying to get a video done of my mess here but all no shows.
