Our Gallery allows users (where permitted) to upload images and/or to create their own albums to host images. Following is brief overview of some of the features in our Gallery.

Sorting Images in a Category

When viewing a category, you can change the sort options in the category at the bottom of the screen. You can select the order to sort the images in, as well as a cut off for the image submission date. Your sort selection will be carried over for each page you click until you leave the category.

Managing Your Albums

Visit your 'My Controls' page, and click on 'Your Albums' (or click on the 'My Albums' link in the member bar at the top of the page after you have created at least one album). You can create, edit, delete, and upload images to albums from this page.

Adding an Image

To add an image to a category, visit the category you wish to submit your image to, and click on 'New Image'. Then you can add your picture and description. You can upload a limited amount of photos directly from your computer. Note: Uploaded pictures may be no larger than 225kb for regular members; 275kb for VIP's, Lifetimers and Lifetimer Plus.

To submit an image to one of your own albums, you can visit your album in the Gallery and click on 'New Image' or 'New Media'. You can also go to 'My Controls' and select 'Upload Image' from the drop down next to any of your albums.

Newly added is the option for uploading multiple images at once. Depending on your member level, you can add 3 or 4 photos at once.

VIP's get 7 megs of photo upload space in the gallery. Lifetimers get 10 megs of uploads in the gallery. Lifetimer Plus gets 10 megs of uploads in the gallery. In addition, all other members get 3 megs of photo space.

If your photos are too big try using an image editor to reduce both the dimensions and the file size. A good, simple and free one is Irfanview.


Viewing Images


Thumbnail images lead to a mid-size version. That mid-size image can then be mouse clicked to reveal a larger image via a cool lightbox effect (in most cases). You can also view multiple images via an adjustable slide show.


Rating an Image


If the administrator allows, you can rate images in the Gallery. Visit an image, and select the rating you wish to apply to it from the drop down rate menu, and click 'Rate'.

Managing to your Favorites

To add an image to your list of favorites, when viewing an image click the 'Favorite' button.

To remove an image from your favorites go to your 'My Controls' page, and click 'Your Favorites'. Click the remove image button next to any image you wish to remove. Additionally, you can bulk download all of the images in your favorites list from this page.


Sending an Ecard

You can send an ecard to someone via email (VIP only feature) by visiting the image page and clicking the Ecard link. You will be able to customize some of the properties of the ecard, and specify an email address. When the recipient receives the email, they will then be able to follow the link to view the image with your personalized message.


Viewing a Slideshow

You can view a slideshow of all images in a category by visiting the category in Gallery, and clicking the 'Slideshow' button. You will be allowed to configure a few of the properties for the slideshow, and then the images will be presented to you in a slideshow manner.


Searching for an Image

On the Gallery home page, you can search for an image by typing in the text you wish to search for in the box. You can search in captions and descriptions for the text you specify.
