A few days ago, I wrote in the VIP forum asking for ideas for new additions, and I randomly put down a community photo album as an example.
Well... I've now added it!
Unlike what I said in the newsletter, the community photo album will be available to all members. To find the link to the album, look under "General" in the main menu that is on the home and index pages, then click on "Album."
From there, there are three main categories. One is for personal pictures (e.g., pictures of you, family), another is for artwork, while the other is for misc. pictures (e.g., pictures of hometown, random objects). Below those two categories, you'll see another two (smaller) categories. One lists all personal user galleries and the other is your personal gallery.
To upload a pic, just go to any category, then look in the upper left hand corner and you'll see a button that says "Upload Pic." From there, you can upload a pic from either your computer or from a website. If your pic is a .jpg or .bmp, a thumbnail is automatically created for the image. For .gif, no thumbnail is automatically created.
If you want to upload a pic to your personal gallery, you have to do it manually; that is, adding a picture to one of the two main categories does not automatically add that picture to your personal gallery.
Hope everyone likes the new addition!
Also, please use common sense and proper judgement when submitting photos. That is, if the photo is something that you would not want your parents to see, then it should not be submitted to the community photo album. Keep in mind that all photos are public and please do not disclose any information about where you live.
