Hi again, I can not post pictures larger than 12 K,?, (    You can upload up to 12.23KB of files (Max. single file size: 12.23KB)) 

I've seen that I can open a book photo "gallery" can someone tell me what is the method to upload photos of my pens in the galery when I need information or when I want to share some that might interest the community ?. Thank you very much in advance.

Hi, you definitely need to create your own album.  It is mostly straightforward, although there is one step that isn't obvious.

 

1)  click  Gallery (at top of opening page)

2)  click  Upload  (this is the non-obvious step)

3)  click  Create New Album

4)  follow directions - name your album, etc.

5)  after creating your album, load your pictures

6)  to add a picture to one of your posts, click on the picture, click Options, click Share Links, copy bbc code into your post

 

I usually resize my pictures before loading so they are about 800 pixels in width.  They fit nicely on the screen that way.  Some websites have software that resizes them - not sure if this one does or not.

 

If you have problems, PM me or reply here.

 

Hope this helps.

Hi again, I followed your instructions and I think I managed to create a photo album but when I created the album, has been a picture of the pen I want to restore as a representative image of my album, how could change the image ?, is not the most appropriate to represent my album but do not know how to change it, I tried some opcione but can not. Thanks in advance for the help it can get

Hi, again.  First, the image needs to be loaded into your album.  Click on the image.  When it opens, click options. Click "Set as Cover".   There should be a small pop-up window that opens.  Select (highlight) your Album's name, and click at the bottom where it says "Set as Cover Image".  That should do it.

 

You only have two images in your album right now, so I assume you still need to load the picture you want to use as the cover into the album.  Looks like you are on the correct path.

Hi again, I think I succeeded, perhaps the image is big but it looks better than a piece for repair as the previous photo. Now is better. Thank you very much for your help.
