Scott Martin Forum Master Posts: 11520 Registered: Apr 93	posted 06-06-2014 03:33 PM *************************************************************** We prefer you use the Silver Salon Forums Photo Gallery (aka: SSFPG). For Step by Step Instructions (4 basic steps) see How to Post Photos in the SSFPG. *************************************************************** Well there hasn't been much comment in Image hosting trial. We still don't know whether members are interested in seeing us provide image hosting for their SSF posts. The first image hosting application test was described in: New SMP/SSF image hosting test for Polly - Image You are registered for SSF imaging hosting Image hosting trial It will eventually be shut done (so use this one). We are proceeding with a newer image hosting application trial/test. Give it a try. Your SSF ID/password should work. (let us know if it doesn't) The ability to copy the image URL with the [img] [/img] tags has been added. Upload Notes Max size for uploaded files: 1024 kb Max width or height for uploaded pictures: 2048 pixels (please let know you recommendations for max upload size) This test/with mods has only been tested with the Firefox browser & some with IE8. Please let us know if you have issues with a different browser. - This newer image hosting application will replace the first image hosting application trial. - We won't be doing more with either unless we hear from more members about whether this is a good thing to make permanent at the SSF.

agphile Posts: 798 Registered: Apr 2008	posted 06-07-2014 06:06 AM I've just tried the new version with some more pictures in the British Forum. No problems and I, for one, would be quite happy to continue with it. Using IE did not reveal any snags. As regards upload limits, I have no clue what might be reasonable from the technical point of view. For reasons I don't understand my pictures seem to vary greatly in size, even when taken and edited at the same time. To save me the bother of checking and if necessary resizing I'd need a limit of approaching 2 mb for a single picture and greater to allow 2 or more to be uploaded at the same time. The limit on height or width would need to be at least 3072 pixels. If this is unreasonable on technical grounds, so be it. I'd just have to get into the habit of checking and resizing before uploading. I would be quite happy for the uploaded version to be deleted and only the resized album version retained. And, reverting to an earlier question, I'd have no objection to a ban on hot linking. Hope this is some help, but obviously it needs to depend on what enough others would prefer to see.

dragonflywink Posts: 993 Registered: Dec 2002	posted 06-07-2014 09:36 AM Finally had a bit of time to poke around there, using Firefox browser, everything seemed fairly simple - nice to have the UBB code already done, definitely saves steps in not having to use my photohost. Thumbs-up! ~Cheryl [This message has been edited by dragonflywink (edited 06-07-2014).] IP: Logged

Scott Martin Forum Master Posts: 11520 Registered: Apr 93	posted 06-07-2014 11:42 AM As it regards upload limits, we want to hear from more members. As it regards total file storage, we have created a special user group that has 3 times the overall storage (note this has nothing to do with upload size). Right now agphile is the only member of the group. If anyone else needs to store more files let us know and we will make you a member of the group with more file storage privileges. We have manually deleted some of the original images. there may be a problem using the the administrator automatic deletion.... when we have more time, we will do more testing. IP: Logged
Scott Martin Forum Master Posts: 11520 Registered: Apr 93	posted 06-14-2014 02:07 PM Since the Image hosting application test is not getting a lot of comment or use but seems to be working, we will continue as is. Until there is more use or interest (feedback) we won't be developing it further. The original image hosting test application has been shut off so only use this one IP: Logged
jersey Posts: 1203 Registered: Feb 2005	posted 06-20-2014 10:15 PM Hello Scott! I think your idea is great, too bad many members have not seen your attempt at making posting pictures without being "watched" by other sites that could invade their privacy. Your idea is great & I appreciate so much your registering me, however as usual I have a problem. My problem is that I don't have a PC. I have an apple iPad & lap top. I have asked my boys to see if they could translate how to post from a Mac & they have been unable to do so. Perhaps you or someone on the forum who has an apple Mac can help. I am trying to do my best to post but the only way I know how to do it is via email & I know that is very difficult for the forum to accept & I understand why. Thank you so much for any future assistance in this matter. Jersey IP: Logged
Scott Martin Forum Master Posts: 11520 Registered: Apr 93	posted 06-21-2014 11:02 AM Hello Jersey, I am not a Mac/or smartphone user, BTAIM, it is my understanding that the photo hosting application is browser dependent and not machine/operating system dependent. Try it. Tell us in detail what you did and also detail any errors. The details will help us to make suggestions. IP: Logged
Scott Martin Forum Master Posts: 11520 Registered: Apr 93	posted 06-21-2014 11:11 AM Jersey, It looks like you haven't even tried to log into the image hosting application. Please try that and let us know. IP: Logged
Scott Martin Forum Master Posts: 11520 Registered: Apr 93	posted 06-21-2014 11:17 AM I believe swarter is a mac user. Swarter has successfully logged into and posted a comment (no uploads) in the image hosting application. IP: Logged
Scott Martin Forum Master Posts: 11520 Registered: Apr 93	posted 07-15-2014 11:08 AM We continue to see new register users.... We continue to have thousands of visitors every day.... But when it comes to the new image hosting application it feels & looks like it wasn't worth the effort....... The only registered SSF members that have ever even just tried to log in to the new image hosting application are: agphile ahwt dragonflywink June Martin Kimo nedzah park1226 Polly rac0361 Richard Kurtzman Scott Martin swarter Taloncrest wev As the new image hosting application stands, it seems to be working well. For me the big effort was setting it up. Ongoing it is a matter of keeping the bad guys out, backing up things, making sure new users ID/passwords work, making sure users have enough storage space and etc. So I will leave the new image hosting application up and running.

ahwt Posts: 2334 Registered: Mar 2003	posted 07-15-2014 12:23 PM Your image site is easy to use Scott. I had a problem for awhile as my pictures were too large. I use Picasa 3 and to change the size of a picture one simply exports it to new file. In the process the software asks you what size you want it. Tell it the new size and then post the new picture on your site. There may be some technical reason why one cannot change the original, but I have no idea what that would be. IP: Logged
taloncrest Posts: 169 Registered: Jun 2004	posted 07-15-2014 09:43 PM Scott, I think this is a great effort. I did try to upload some pictures early on, but had some problems, and life keeps getting in the way. I have lots of little things I want to show off or discuss, but finding the time to take the pictures and write a post can be difficult for me. IP: Logged
seaduck Posts: 350 Registered: Dec 2006	posted 07-16-2014 07:26 PM My name isn’t on the list…..but I thought I was registered? Or do I have to re-register for a newer version? Please don’t be discouraged…usage will pick up. I haven’t had any pix to post recently and have been consumed with other busy-ness. So, while I've scanned the photo messages, I may have missed the need to sign up again. We appreciate your work! IP: Logged
Scott Martin Forum Master Posts: 11520 Registered: Apr 93	posted 07-16-2014 10:32 PM There is no need to signup again. The list is of those who have successfully logged into the new image application. Your forum ID/password will work for the new image application. Thanks for the encouragement. *************************************************************** We prefer you use the Silver Salon Forums Photo Gallery (aka: SSFPG).
