How do we go about uploading the pics from the QLD cruise to the album?

go to the album page, then click on "OpelAus Cruise Pictures" (http://opelaus.com/phpBB2-3/album_cat.php?cat_id=2)

at the top and bottom of the page are the http://opelaus.com/phpBB2-3/templates/subSilver/images/lang_english/upload_pic.gif button

and there u have it :)

Note to Turblue: maybe we should have different folders for each cruise, or each state or something cos it will get fairly unorganised after a while.

Note to Self: Upload QLD cruise pictures :lol: 8)

speaking of which, can we get the size limit changed?

it is almost impossible to get 800x600 pictures to upload using that limit, infact i still can upload half my pictures when i scale to 600x450 without mucking around with the compression

thanks

Size limits were introduced to:

1: Reduce loading times,
2: Save space on the server,
3: Keep the webpages looking neat. (not scrolling off the screen)

The specifications are:

1: Only *.jpg extension picture file.
2: 800x600 resolution.
3: 100kb maximum file size. (raised from 80kb)

This way we can have heaps of pics online, and they won't take days to load. After all, we are not all on broadband. Idealy, I would prefer people that link to offsite pics to load them onto our album. We have some threads that are simply a pain to view due to the time they take to load. I (or any admin) can add sections to the album quite easily. If you want more, just ask. Please consider this an option when posting pictures. We have, as some are aware, had to alter posts that have had many pictures loading.

the easiest way to resize a batch of photos is to use mihov image resizer.. top program and its freeware.. it bring file sizes down considerably.

thankyou, that extra 20kb means i can upload the rest of them

and yes, i do realise why we have the size limits etc.

i just downloaded that program, and it works very well
i've been using photoshop in the past but this is obviously much simpler, with resizing its purpose
