Using the Albums at AllMetalShaping.com
We have photo albums as part of the VBulleting software used for AllMetalShaping.com. This is not a separate photo album, but, rather integrated into the forum software.
The albums are located in the "Community Links" in the nav bar at the top: albums000.jpg Clicking the link to "Picture and Albums" will take you to the recent albums page: albums001.jpg There is a link at the bottom to "Click here to add an album and start uploading pictures!" albums002.jpg Clicking that link shows the "Add Album" box". Use this to name your album and add a description: albums003.jpg Once you have named your album and clicked submit, you will be taken to the upload page which allows you to upload 3 pictures at a time: albums005.jpg Clicking the "Browse" button opens an Explorer window which allows you to navigate to the folder where your pictures are stored. albums006.jpg Select the file you want to add to the album and click "open" (or just double-click on the filename): albums007.jpg The filename then shows on the page and you can click "Upload Pictures" or add another image file: albums008.jpg Once your pictures are uploaded, you will be given the option to add captions to your photos: albums009.jpg After you "Save Changes" to your photo captions (whether you add captions or not), you will be taken back to your album. To add more pictures to your album, click the "Upload Pictures" link above or below your album preview: albums010.jpg Later, I will be adding a tutorial on using images from the albums in your posts.

I increased the number of files you can download at once from 3 to 10. It's MUCH MUCH quicker than the photo gallery software at MM and because it's in OUR database, it's secure and should never go away.
I'll probably upload to the albums if I have a lot of photos to post. Just a few and I'd probably do the attachment process that Tim described in the other thread. This new version of Vbulliten has some neat features.

I seen that Kerry.It made a huge difference on how long it takes.
I'm going to work on getting all of the photos off of the old site and put them into albums.I'm just going to do a little at a time until I get them all.Some of them I can't get for some reason or another but I am getting 90 percent of them. I figure if the other site crashes we will at least have the photo's on file.

New Thread?
I hate to sound stupid but how do you start a new thread? I can't seem to fing anything that says 'start new thread'. I have replied to posts OK, no problem, but can't quite figure out how to start one of my own.
thanks for your help, max

Mark, click on the logo on the upper left, then select the proper forum. At the top of each "forum" is a button that says something to the effect of "Post New Thread".
