Problems with the Gallery

What's wrong with the gallery? I can't seem to post pictures, and if I try to log-in with my account it says it doesn't work. Is it just me?

S'not just you. I was gonna transfer my customs and whatnot over last night, but the inability to login to the gallery foiled me.

We don't have an unlimited amount of space. We have alot of space, but not unlimited. Pictures are something that are constantly added throughout the life of the forum, so for the sake of the long run I've made it so that you can add pictures directly to posts via the "Add image to post" option at the bottom of every post. This actually posts the picture off site at a free image host service and links it over to here. So organize your own custom thread and put the photos in there. I know it's not the same, but I think it's better for the site in the long run. The gallery is for use with the pictures being used for front page articles. This allows for visitors to browse pics either superfically there, or to come here to the forums and look around the diffrent threads at pics.

Oh, okay. That's cool. Thanks!

If you want more control over your pictures, you can always get a free account with a picture/image hosting service like Flickr and just link to the pics in your posts....

Does it bother anyone else that your avatar can only be 100 pixels, or whatever, but the signiture picture can be immense? They're huge! Tau warriors and pinball machines everywhere!

You can hotlink to an image for your avatar and then it can be huge. Post it on somewhere like photobucket or something and then link using the last box on your profile.

Thanks for that explanation for me. I'm such a Noob! I think my avatar is just fine as it is though. You can't have count blah being too big, now, can you?
