How do I add photos to the gallery?
« on: August 01, 2016, 10:13:26 AM »
I'm pretty computer savvy, but I can not figure out how to add photos to the gallery.

Thanks, Dave

Hi Dave,

At present, the code that allows photos to be added is bad. 

It is one of the things that need to be remedied.

 Sorry for the inconvenience,

Dear nailr65 and mid-60s Buick shutterbugs, . . . .

Hi Kevin, how do I do that?


If you have the photos already in an online gallery you might be able to use links of the images.  If so I can explain that.  Otherwise, you can upload photos to 65GS.com using the Additional Options link at the bottom of your post composition window.  If you link on the Additional Options link, it will open up to some additional options that includes Attach: ments.  You can attach pictures to your posting that way.  However, there is a  limit on the size of the images.  If your images are loo large let us know and we'll try to find some way to scale them down for you.

Hopefully that's enough to get you started, . . . .

Cheers, Edouard

There is a thread in the "Announcements " section titled "How to resize pictures for posting "  that has a link to a resizing program. The program works quite well.

Dear Loren, nailr65, and mid-60s shutterbugs, . . .

Since I was curious to know what the program was, I went ahead and found the thread that Loren mentioned.  Having gone to all that trouble, here is a direct link to that thread with one click:
