If you wish to load photos into the photo gallery you need to have the file on your hard disk (or cd-rom). Then do the following:

1. Click on "New Image".

2. Add a subject and description (description = content of the post that goes with the photo).

3. Click on "Image Manager". Browse to select the file, add a caption, then click on "Add" (and the file name will appear near the top).

4. Click on "Done Adding Files" (and you will see "Total Files: 1" - the maximum number of photos allowed is 5).

5. Click on "Submit" and the photo will be posted.

We recommending copying or printing these directions as they will not remain on your screen once you click on "New Image".

Currently all posts are put in an approval queue so it will not be public until a moderator approves it (usually less than a few hours time unless it is nighttime USA).

Note: If you are sharing photos you have taken and have uploaded to another website we recommend that you post in Town Hall and use the UBB Code (click on FAQ to learn how) to show one of the photos and then provide a link to your photo gallery. You may also wish to upload one or more image(s) from your hard disk to this Photo Gallery and then (in the description) provide the link to your photo gallery (or other website containing the photos). Moderators and Administrators may reject any photo for any reason (or no reason).

There is a limit of five photos per thread and one thread per topic. Additional threads on the same topic will be deleted. If you wish to share larger numbers of photos we recommend that you upload them to one of the free photo servers. Then provide a few photos here and a link to the public site where they can be viewed. Please respect copyright! If it is hosted elsewhere on the internet provide a link to the photo in one of the other forums.
