Ok folks.. we just rolled out a neat new feature. The Member's Photo Album! You'll find a link to it in the list of links in the upper right section of the page. Look for "album". You have to be logged in to see and use the album. You can use this album to host images of items you have for sale, topics of interest, images of your car, signature images etc etc, then link to those images within posts or your signature.

Each user on the message board is allocated 3 megabytes of space to upload images. Each image must be equal to or less than 150K in size. This allows for about 20 images at 150K in size, more if the file sizes are less. Only full member status members are allowed to upload.

There are simple rules to adhere to listed on the upload page. We want to keep the album Monte Carlo centric, just like the message board here. At this time, only images can be uploaded, no movies or other file formats.

If you have questions about the album, please ask. And please.. let us know what you think about this new feature!

Enjoy!

That is soooooooooo SSsweet Paul!!!!!!!!!! Congrats on another job well done. Thankyou!!!!

I love it!

Alright!! Now if I just knew how to put my pictures up there I'd be set.I am a computer dummy(seriously).My 10yr old son taught me what little I do know.I've got plenty of good pictures on Kodak cd's but I don't know how to get them from the cd to here.Can somebody give me some kindergarden instructions ?? Thanks,Tim

Paul told y'all he was working on something big for the site! I think it's a great addition for all the members.

Tim... I don't even have a dgital camera to steer you in the right direction. I do have a Kodak that spits the picture out to you when you crank the handle a few turns. (I know, I know... I really need to upgrade my crap! LOL)

Paul, that is way awesome. I may throw a pic of my gilopy in there, just so everyone else looks that much better.

Big kudos for making the best site in the Internet even better every time we log on.

When you go to the upload page, look for "browse...". Make sure your Kodak CD is in your CD Drive (D:\ probably) and click the "Browse" button. CLick the drop down box at the top of the screen that pops up and find the D drive (or whichever drive your CD is in), and click on that. The contents of your CD should then be displayed. Find the picture you wish to post, select it, then click "Open". Repeat for each additional picture you wish you add.

Paul got me on the right track last night...mines up.Thanks Fellas.

Totally Awesome Paul!!!! Thanks for rewarding us and keeping this the #1 site on the web!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Paul,High 5's to you.This site just keeps getting better and better.I do have a question though.Most of the pics ive taken are in the 350k range.How do I make them smaller in size so I can post a few.Thanks a lot!!

You'll need to reduce the size with an image processing program like Photoshop, etc.

This is great now I just need to get off jr. member status.

How do I set an image as my album cover? I give up trying to find it...

Hey Russ, look at the orange bar across the top, above your pictures. There should be a button that says "Set Album Thumbnail". Click that, then click the image you want to use

Paul this looks like it is going to be an awesome feature. I have always wanted to suggest it since another site I belong to has this feature, but it also has a lot less members. Keep up the great work!

Sorry, but I do not have the orange bar???

Hmm, I dunno man. Maybe you could upload another (bigger) pic and see if it will work. Sorry

PAUL GREAT JOB ON THE ALBUM! AAA+++ REALLY USER FRIENDLY ! AND SOME OF US REALLY NEED THAT FROM TIME TO TIME. THINGS JUST KEEP GETTING BETTER AROUND HERE.

RUSS THE ORANGE BAR IS ON THE SECOND PAGE AT THE TOP IT STATES SET ALBUM THUMBNAIL . YOU HAVE TO BE IN IT OR GO TO ALBUM CLICK ON YOUR ALBUM WHEN YOUR PHOTOS COME UP LOOK AT THE BAR UNDER WHERE IT SAYS WELCOME IT SAYS CREATE ALBUM/UPLOAD/SET ALBUM THUNBNAIL. CLICK ON IT LOAD AS YOU DID OTHER PHOTOS. HOPE THAT HELPS!

I'm having same brainfart as Russ. I do not find thumbnail under the Welcome heading.

Thats 3 of us?

I was having the same problem as well, then somehow one of my images showed up as the thumbnail without me doing anything There was no set album thumbnail for me.

The "set album thumbnail" should be the far right button in the orange memu bar when you are inside your album. Let me know if you do not see that.

I have been setting the thumbnail for members who have (what I feel are) images that would make a good thumbnail for their album. So that's what happened with yours Kevin.

I figured you may have done that for me but wasn't sure Paul You must have also set the title of my album to 85_SS as it was just my member # previously. When I am viewing an imagine in my album, the orange menu bar only contains:


EDIT DELETE MOVE LINK

the link button isnt working for me. It always says, "Warning (picture title) could not be linked."
