Brad Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 If you have at least 5 posts and have been around for a few days, you are now able to create photo albums and upload photos for others to see on your user profile page! Just go to your Control Panel (http://forums.gottadeal.com/usercp.php) and click the link for Pictures & Albums http://forums.gottadeal.com/album.php) You can then create an album and begin adding photos to it Once you have uploaded photos, others can view them on your profile page. They can also comment on your photos as well :) If you have any questions about creating photo albums, please post here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcster Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I'll probably continue using my photobucket.com account, but are these images limited to be viewed by those who are registered members of Gottadeal, or can non-members (and/or Google images) see the images too?

In addition, there is an option to have a specific album only viewable to those members on your friends list for added privacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 In the future we'll probably have a little icon under your avatar (like the eBay one in Marcster's post) to denote that a member has a photo album set up and pictures available for viewing. Also, the max number of photos and max size (both file size and dimensions) of photos increases the longer you've been a member. Similar to having custom avatars and custom user titles - once you hit the 50 post mark and have been a member for 2 weeks, you'll have the max allowed :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiderlady Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Hmm.... I thought I posted a question on this thread, but I don't see it here. I wonder if it's adrift in cyber-purgatory??:) My question is, can I post photos/graphics from files on my computer to an album, or must the photo/graphic be from an online site?

Spiderlady Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Thanks Shortness!! But, there's a problem when I open the album there's no way to upload the pictures. I followed the instuctions on the first post of this thread and get stuck. In other forums the link allows one's computer files to upload the photo. Am I missing something??

candlesbytammy1 Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 OK....I need help. I was able to add an album with pictures, but still having problems.... I used the 'Insert Image' button above and have tried many different url's but it doesn't physically show the picture. It shows a link to click to get the picture. I want to be able to actually post a picture. How would one be able to do actually post a picture as part of a reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeninpa Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 When you said upload photo's I thought someone finally posted the "how to's" of posting photo's in message's,lmao. Just incase anyone comes here thinking the instructions are here for adding pics to your posts, I added them here in a spoiler,lol. I probably posted these in 10 different threads by now,lol. Make a photobucket.com account, then: Click options to set the size of your pics:http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b40/JeninPA/1-1.jpg Choose message board size, this is usually just right:http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b40/JeninPA/2-1.jpg Click browse to find the pic on your computer. (They have a bulk uploader now but it acts up a lot)http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b40/JeninPA/1.jpg Copy & paste the IMG code into your message.http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b40/JeninPA/2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
