Rookie questions

[Sawduster]

New to this message board thing . is there a size and/or quantity limit on pics posted in a message ? I read the thread on posting to a gallery but messages are not mentioned ( or I missed it ) . When posted in a message, are the pics saved to a gallery as well or must that be done seperately ?
Thanx for the help !

There is a size limit on the ones you post in your messages and I think only 5 max at a time in a message , and when you post pics in a message they only post in the message not in gallery so those have to be done seperate



hope that helps

Posting Pictures

I too have had a few problems when I first started posting pictures, but I found the easiest way for me was to.
1) Make sure the pictures are saved on your computer in an acceptable size and format. I use Kodak picture software which came with my camera, and I save the pictures as general purpose, ( 320 x 213 Pixels).
2) Once you've typed in your text and are ready to insert your photos, scroll up to the tool bar at the top of your post and click on the paperclip (located in the first row, beside the white happy face) you will be presented with a screen which allows you to upload the files to your photos.Once the files have uploaded close the screen and click on the paperclip again and you will be presented with a drop down list of the files you uploaded, click on the file you want to attach and when you preview your post the photo will be there in thumbnail format, click on the photo to see a larger image.

You can insert your photo anywhere in your post that you want and then you can continue typing. This allows you to add text to each photo separately.
The photo files do not automatically save to the gallery, you need to do that separately. Hopefully someone else will give us instructions on how to do this, cause I haven't figured that out yet.
Good Luck and happy Scrolling

Thanx for the tips ....I'm gonna close my eyes & give it a shot. There is what seems to be pretty good post on using the gallery right in this section. Gonna try that soon also

All you need to do to post to or start your gallery is to click on "Scroller Galleries" under "Scrolling Community" on the left side of this page and then on the next page, near the top right hand side, click upload photos. This will bring you to a screen where you have the option of what gallery you want the photos saved to. I always leave mine at the default of "member galleries". Under that you select the photos you want to upload. From there you can add a message if you like or scroll to the bottom and hit upload/submit.

Good luck,
Mike
