Cyburbia.....question about uploading photos

Post by KCPowercat »

I see you uploaded a photo to the photo gallery, just wondering how easy it was to understand? I've never done it, always update via FTP, etc. so I was wondering how straightforward it was to upload a pic.

Thanks for the pic, I approved it and feel free to send in many more.

Cyburbia.....question about uploading photos

Post by Cyburbia »

The system is so-so. You have to create a thumbnail and upload it separately, which can be a bit awkward. The size limits are also a constraint; many programs will use ImageMagick to resize an upload. Didn't get the chance to add comments, either, and I got an error message when I tried uploading to the Transportation gallery.

A good free program to look into is called simply Gallery; ther's no integration with any bulletin board user database (which is why I'm not using it), but it's considered to be one of the best of the bunch out there.

Wow, that thing is awesome...took me some massaging to get it to work but man I love it now.....still have to add most of the photos and comments and color schemes but that is the best one I've found...not sure why I didn't find that one in the first place.

Looks like I have to add users, users can't sign up on their own....if you want a username, let me know.
