Gallery Help

Wide_Panel_Top

Hello and welcome to the help page for the Rats photo gallery.

The gallery is where registered users of the SRCC website can upload their photos to be seen by all.

Photos are arranged in albums; Each user has their own set of personal albums which only they can create and upload photos to.
Other albums are public and are created by the administrator. These are generally intended for meets and other such group events. Any registered user can upload photos to these albums. If you would like a public album for an event then contact the Webmaster.

How do I upload photos?

Log-in to the gallery.

Click Upload_file

Select the files you wish to upload by clicking Gallery_browse and selecting the file to upload. You may upload up to 10 files at once. The maximum size for each file is 4MB. You can upload full size pictures if you like and the gallery will resize them automatically, as long as they are below the file size limit. You can reduce the upload time by resizing the images yourself to a maximum dimension of 800 pixels. This would usually mean that your photos would be either 800 wide by 600 high or 600 wide by 800 high.
There is another box where photos may be added from another web location if the URL is known.

Click Gallery_continue

There will be a delay as the files are uploaded; please be patient!

If the files are uploaded with no errors then you will be asked to specify which albums each of the photos are to belong to. You may also add a title, description and search keywords.

Your photos are now viewable in the gallery.

Each user has a 10MB limit on the total size of the photos they upload to their albums.
As the web space is limited then older or large albums may need to be pruned from time to time without notice.

What else can I upload?

Videos my also be uploaded, but note, they are usually considerably larger than photos and will eat up your quota rapidly.
