uploading pics

I know I have seen stuff on this before but I am having a brain dead day.

How do I upload pics to the forum?

How do I upload pics to the gallery?

Do I need to put them on my website and then link them?

speak slowly and use small words OK

Check the how-to and tutorial forum on this site. It should be able to guide you through the steps no problem.

I don't know what I am doing wrong here, I have created an album OK and everything seems to work when I tell it to upload but after it sits for a while it comes on and says 0 files uploaded.

Now what coach?

After you've successfully uploaded your pics are you continuing on and placing them in the album that you've just created? I seem to recall that happening to me at first because I was too impatient to click continue and then place the files in my album.

File size could be the culprit too. I fought that one for a while. As I recall, HAL doesn't tell you why it didn't do it, just that it wasn't done.

Yeah sorry, I think the error output text is hidden in a white-on-white kinda thing.

File size must be below 500 KB and resolution can not be larger than 1600 pixels in either dimension. I do this to prevent people from lazily uploading 6 megapixel files and needlessly wasting storage space.

Sorry for the delay on this, I'm at a business seminar in southern california.

Jacket and shirt

By God I did it!!

The fool thing finally loaded my pics, it was the file size

We can make any plane, any tail number, or anything else for that matter.

proper tail

Of course, the one I show has the proper tail!!! For those strange people who like big butts we can do them too,

To create a one off design costs a lot but if there are a bunch of you big tail guys out there we can do one.

Shane,

There's a happy medium for resizing your pics. I prefer 800x600 or 1024x768 for web use. That's big enough for a guy to use as a desktop wallpaper or see some better detail on your images.

The little guys you uploaded might make it hard for interested people to see much detail. Just my $.02...
