How to upload photos to the Forums

First of all go to the Photos section and click on 'Upload Photo':






Next, choose either a general gallery (one that anyone can upload photos to) or a gallery just for your photos (only you can upload to):






If you choose 'Select Album', all of the albums available to you will appear in a popup. Choose a Gallery by clicking on it:





If you choose to create a 'New Album', a popup will appear where you fill in the name and description:






Next, click on 'Choose Files' to select the photos you want to upload from your computer:






Once you have chosen the images, they should 'load' and you should see a button called 'Review & Publish'. Click on that:





You can now give each photo a title and description:




And that's it... your photos should now be uploaded to the Photos section.

Just a few more things:

1)
You can upload multiple photos at the same time (but please don't get too carried away and try to upload too many at the same time!);

2)
The system should be able to cope with fairly large images, but if at all possible please try to upload images that have been re-sized - an optimal size is between 750 and 1000 pixels in width. (They get resized anyway, and large images just take up lots of space and bandwidth)

3)
We are happy for you to stamp a photo with your name before you upload if you wish.
But please do not add business names, company names or website addresses... the Photos section is not a vehicle for promotion.
Please also keep the stamp you add small and in a corner, similar to the one we add.

Thank you!
