I have installed a special module in this mailboard that you can access on the top menu : it is called “upload image”
in this module you can upload images for future posting in threads (especially useful for the forthcoming gallery forum). It works as follows:
You upload an image from your hard disk and the module will generate a thumbnail of this image by itself. It will then stock the image in your profile (a dedicated space) that you can access via this module and use as you wish. Under each of these pictures will be a link that you should use to post in the forums. This link will then display the thumbnail in the post and this one will be clickable to access the full size picture.This way, the forum is fast for loading, using only small thumbnails but the large picture is still viewable when you click on it.
If you have any questions… you know the way
PM to meYou can access your image still in the “upload image” page, on the bottom-right there is a link to “my images”, and it will display all your images, with the code to copy/paste in the posts for further use.
You should also have the opportunity to check the “view stats” to check everybody’s uploaded image gallery, to pick up the code here too. so that you can quote pictures from others directly
As administrator I have access to all images too and can delete them if need be
Pictures uploaded are not meant to be deleted by members so far, Only I have the authorisation to delete pictures in this “picture folder”. It is an insurance, because the module is so made that you have access to delete ability for all pictures or nothing.. that means one could delete pictures submitted by others… so only administrators have this right as a security.
You can’t use an image from the gallery as your avatar. this is not the same “folder” , you can upload the picture once again in your profile window as an avatar picture (no link with the “upload image” module at all), as for resizing, it requires that you do the resizing on your own computer
sorry about that, but if you want I can do it for you if you don’t have tools or softwares to do so… but in no way the “picture folders” of members, accessed via the “upload image” module” can be used directly as avatars.well it’s perfect for me! hourrah to hsf62…. the pioneer of the forum (first one to use the upload picture module, and first one (beside my wife and myself) to have an avatar! Everybody, follow his example
