You will need to be logged in as a member of the Full Members group before you can upload images or post anything in these forums.
Hot Tip...
If you can reduce your image file sizes down to about 250Kb or less - and with physical dimensions of about 1500 pixels by, say, 850 pixels before uploading them to the Gallery - you will find that they will cause far less hassles than if you try to upload a giant 1.5Mb or something image!!
To submit an image to an album, visit the index page of the album or sub-category that you wish to submit your image to.
Click on 'New Image'
Give your image a title.
Put a little descriptive text in the large blank field.
(The more description you can put in, the more likely you are to get a lot of Google search hits on your image!)
Use the "Image to upload" field to browse your computer for the image that you want to post.
When you are ready, scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on "Post Image"
The important thing to realize here is that the "New Image" button will only appear when you are at the index page for the album, (or sub-category) in question.
(If you think about this, it is fairly logical...!!)
You can't upload an image to an image, for example!! Neither will you see the "New Image" button when you are on the main Gallery index page. Click on a category first, then an album or a sub-category. You will only see the "New Image" button where you are allowed to upload an image. So you will see it when you are on the index page for one of your own albums - but not when you are on the index page of someone else's...!!
Makes sense?!!
Similarly, to submit an image to one of your own albums, (My Controls > Your Albums > Create Album, to create your first one;) you can visit the index page of one of your albums in the Members Albums area of the Gallery and then click on "New Image" or "New Media"
You can also go to "My Controls > Your Albums" and then select "Upload Image" from the drop-down menu next to any of your albums.
