Topic: ArimaOwners Hosted Photos

[Croaker Stroker]

Well, I have added pictures to my gallery.  I guess I never realized all the pictures I have added to posts don't go to my gallery.   So I have added some for projects and upgrades to my gallery as well.

I looked. Nice job on the cutting table. Your Halibut make my Halibut look like bait. 

Your Photo files are well organized.

So question, I have all ways pre sized my photos before saving in documents on my computer. Then used the attachment option to add the photo to the thread. Will this method continue to be OK? Its no different than adding a photo to a email and should be there for good. I can't remove it after 24 hours, there is no link and its super easy!

Tom, that is the way I have done it for years and my pictures are still there.   What I did not realize is that you have to search the thread to find the pictures.   For some reason I thought that added them to the my gallery and through this thread found out I was wrong.

Croaker, you are funny.

I just reviewed the attachments settings. They limit or resize (I'm not sure which) the photos to a maximum of 512 kb which is good for being frugal with disc space.  I thought the attachments feature would only provide a photo as an attachment and not as a view-able photo in the post. Here's a test:

Okay, that works but the photo only goes at the end of the post and I had to resize it first.

I'll leave the attachment as an option but know it's limitations.The Gallery is the better yet slower method.

You can add a LARGE file to your gallery.....one at a time. “Add Picture”...no need to resize first...the forum software shrinks it.

To resize for attachments, I use “Image Resize”  on the Apple App Store.  $2.99. It is easy to use and can do a lot more than just resize.

How do you organize photos like BruceL2-fish did? I tried adding pics to my personal gallery and they will only show up under Arima modifications, or Arima fishing etc. I posted under the my gallery. The pics are not there now because I deleted them till I figure out how to post under my personal gallery. I’m using an iPad or iPhone

After you click on GALLERY,click on MYGALLERY.

[Fisherdv]

  I’ll try again

[Danno]

I did  :shrug9:I’ll try again

After you click on MYGALLERY you can start up loading files but if you want to create albums to organize your photos, you need to click on ADD CATEGORY which is at the bottom of the MYGALLERY screen.

The second photo is what my MYGALLERY category albums looks like. Yours will be different depending on what you name yours, how many you add and if you apply a avatar to each category.

Thanks Danno, I think I got it.

[Fisherdv]

I think I got it now, thanks guys

[Croaker Stroker]

I took all those screen shots and when I finally posted them, you already got it.  🤪

[BruceL2_Fish]

Danno is correct and I followed the instructions that Russ had previously pointed to in an old post.   I also discovered that if I add the pictures to my Gallery I do not need to resize first, when up loaded it does it for me.   That is cool.   I guess I learned something this weekend.   Seems pretty easy, once I started to organize.

[Fisherdv]

 , I learned how to do it now as well. Seems easy enough

After seeing the pics of the Pacific Halibut that GregE and Bruce posted I decided not to post my California Halibut pics. Makes mine look like sand dabs. Croaker was right.

Testing a tapatalk photo

See I just call that bragging... Nice fish!

I saw a bulk/ multiple pic upload option yesterday but can't find it.  Loading one pic takes 8 steps, looking for a short cut

Greg,

Once you've created one or more categories in your MYGALLERY gallery, enter the category and the option to bulk load photos is at the bottom.

Found it,  white over gray was hiding.  Test

I remember paying for the software gallery when we started this site. Are we still using what was paid for or do we need to upgrade again?

Darren

Largely through your donation as I remember correctly. That is the software we continue to use. There have been upgrades since that I have not purchased. I am not a complete computer geek so upgrades make me nervous. I try to keep them to the minimum. Plus, some of the upgrades are for forum sites with much different needs than what we have here. Add that to the issue of teaching our old dogs new tricks and I tend to be conservative with changes.

Okay. I did some updates this last weekend. I had to update the forum software to stay ahead of the hackers. So that's taken care of. I also looked into the latest version of the Gallery add-on software and for $25, I upgraded it. I haven't explored all of thte new features yet but tfor those interested, here's a list:

Danno....

I have been watching this thread closely in hopes of learning a way to MOVE all of “My Images” into “My Gallery”.

I am unable to find a way to do a single move let alone a block move of several pictures.

Can you help me out here?  I’m just trying to get all of my ARIMA pictures into 1 place....

Thanks!

[Croaker Stroker]

The multiple photo upload works great !! 

Except it turned my photos upside down. 

[Fisherdv]

You got some beautiful fish pictures in there CS  , I just had a look

Salmon King not sure if you already found a way, but I might have a way for you to move your pictures from your "My Images" to your "My Gallery".
I saw you only have 1 category in your gallery, so you might need to create a new category so you can move pictures.
Also I didn't see or know of a way to do a bulk picture move, as I don't know if there is one. Also not sure if this is the best way to do what you want to do.

I made a short video and hopefully it will help you out if this what you were thinking of.
I created this on my Android phone, which is like doing it on a PC and probably the same on a Mac.
