Title: Galleries - Very Cool Feature
Post by: usrlocal on July 25, 2014, 08:04:39 am
I've been puttering around with the Gallery feature here (look at the blue menu bar at the top and click on 'Gallery', which is between 'People' and 'Links'). Not only can you upload images, but you can organize them by categories, sub-categories, asssign keywords, etc. You can also upload thumbnail images for each category.

Here's a little prototype I whipped up: my TCS Gallery (http://thegamebox.freesmfhosting.com/index.php?action=gallery;su=user;u=3).

I'm amazed that this site hosts images, given that it's free.

Cool!

The thumbnails don't work though. They just take me to a page of code.

You should start a thread for new folks just pointing out things like this. You seem to enjoy messing around with the place and finding things. Maybe it would entice more to stay and use those features if they are not big on just posting all the time.

The site is fussy about gallery thumbnails. If the thumbnail image you try to upload is too large, the site will barf. Try a smaller image (less than 100x100 pixels - but I'm not sure of the exact limit).

I can't seem to control the post attachment size - fixed at some 192k
