any suggestions? ideas?

let us know!

A key element for me would be to able post gallery pictures easily. I think the old message board could have really benefitted from that. Besides, we all want to see your 360 projects as they near completion. You got lots of time to work on those don't you Jamie? Seriously though, I hope this new site has easy picture upload ability and lots of room to store them. It would make this my all time favorite site ever!

Hi Mark

here's an example of how you can pull in your own image gallery
viewtopic.php?t=11

i pulled images from my personal web space, and linked them here.

Right now. subaru360club.org does not have a massive amount of space in which to host everybody's personal photo collection.

We can host the odd photo here and there, please continue to submit those....

But, for a full gallery? you'll need to link you photos from your personal space.

You cannot, at this time, upload images from your computer.
There are image hosting services on the www.
Host your images there, then link them here.
I would suggest try using:
http://www.tinypic.com
or
http://www.photobucket.com


here is a step-by-step method on how to link photos once hosted
Linking a file from the Internet

Step One:
First thing to do is hit "new thread" or "post reply" depending on when/why you are posting.

Next, type out the text of your thread.


Step Two:

Then, go to the webpage with the photo you are wanting to link
and "right-mouse-click" the picture
(not on the page, it MUST be on the picture itself!!)
A box will pop up - scroll all the way down to the bottom -
click on "properties."

You should see another box pop up
There is a value titled "Address (URL)"- that is the URL for the picture.

Highlight that value (everything including "http" all the way to the end (it may be a very long URL and run on besides what you can see... keep highlighting until you have ALL of it, or it will not work).

Copy the URL - "right-mouse-click" - select > copy

DO NOT use the URL in the Address bar of your browser!

Step Three:
Take the URL you just copied, and insert it between "image tags"

Image tags:
[ img] [/ img ] (but without the spaces)


If you do not use that exact format, the picture will show up on the board as a "Red X" box.

Step Four:
The last thing to do is to check your work by previewing your post


NOTES: Many sites, geocities and angelfire being among them, will NOT allow you to directly link photos in this manner- don't bother trying.


I will write and post a full tutorial possibly tonight

It's not as hard as it may seem.

try linking a photo, any photo from http://www.subiegal.com

do contact me with questions

Jamie

Thank you Jamie.

sorry to take up the space. not sure what I'm doing wrong

Okay. I have an idea. bear w/me let me try this

Yahoo! Sorry again for the space hogging . major mile marker celebration!

YAY!!! Mark got it figured out

yes.. the photo must be hosted elsewhere....
then linked

again, there are good, free sites out there which will allow for this.

another one: http://www.cardomain.com

build your own mini car web site for FREE!



Jamie

Set up the cardomain acct......Lets just see what I learned.............




hey..... whad-ya know....looks like it'll work

pretty cool !

thanks Jamie

oh!
this one is even better

last night i was speaking to one of the contributors over at
the Ultimate Subaru Message Board...

he said...

they've got TONS of room and would LOVE to host any 360 photos

here is a link to their gallery
http://www.ultimatesubaru.net/photos/

you register, upload photos... and bam! your own mini gallery

all of it is free.

they insisted they'd love any and all old school subaru photos

sweet!

Jamie

They're in luck.! I have plenty of 360 pictures to upload! Bieng they are into Subies they would apprciate them more. I'm not keen that cardomain puts their web advertisement right square in front of the picture....? 360s are so small anyway...Thanks for the tip Jamie.

no problem.

i'll start a "how to post a photo" official thread here in a while

got to make up a full tutorial with photos...

Jamie

Jamie, I'm bummed to say the Ultimate Subaru club has no way to upload pictures. Seems it hacks off even the longtime subscribers. I thought it was just because I was new. Been trying since you suggested

very frustrating

I am SO looking forward to a photo friendly Subaru 360 atmoshphere. I hope you can make this one work good.

are you clicking the link that says "upload photos"
or do you not see it?

you upload them right from your computer.

i just uploaded this.. took about 15 seconds




go to:
http://www.ultimatesubaru.net/photos/

make sure you are logged in

look in upper right hand corner

tool bar just under the main bar

just under where it says log out

in yellow, there are the words "upload photos"

click it and begin.....

shout if you cant see it or dont get it.
i'll sort you out.

Jamie

I just checked again. I am logged on fine, however, It is blank in the space beneath 'Log out'.

Mark.. et al...

does this help?

I've clicked photo gallery "A Million" times......, won't let me go further.....none of the following comes up for me......????....and I am logged on. I did a search. I guess it happens to quite a few members. Some weird glitch I guess.

Great step by step by step though Jamie. That's excatly how I invisioned it to work.

Mark

mark...

if you want, PM or email me your log in name and password

i'll take a look at it and see if i can figure it out....

pm sent

Got it

hmmmmmmmmm

i'm going to email the site owners (good friends of mine)
and see what the deal is....

maybe you have to have xxx amount of posts before you can upload?

if so...
I'll ask them if this crew can be an exception to this 'rule'



Jamie

I feel better now, knowing it wasn't just me. I figured there was some newbie-restictions. How many posts do I need to post before I can post a picture?

Thank you for your help Jamie. I would hope they would like to see some cute and fun 3Subaru 360 pictures in thier gallery.
