New Photo Gallery - 01/13/2018 03:57 PM
The new photo galleries are now setup. Go to the main index of forum and scroll down.
In the photo galleries section, there is a testing forum to learn how to create your own gallery. Those galleries in the testing forum will be deleted from time to time.
Basically you go to the forum, press the button to create a new gallery. it brings up a message box, and below the message box is a paperclip called Image Manager. You click on that link to bring up the box to upload your photos to TTOL.
You can edit your own photo gallery, adding and deleting photos. Beecause of the nature you have a 30 day window to edit your photo gallery.
There is a known issue with some phones, especially the Iphone. Because of extra data that is store with the photo, the gallery will flip the picture sideways if it was originally taken in portrait mode. There are some free apps that will remove that extra coding and it will upload correct. But within the gallery the viewer has a button to rotate the picture when displaying your gallery.
The option to add photos to a post on the regular forums is coming soon also, they are two different things. The process to add photos directly to your regular forum posts will be similar to the gallery.
So feel free to do some testing in the Photo Gallery testing section.
