If someone could provide the steps to posting a picture on NGTO's gallery, that would be great. I can't seem to figure it out. I've tried to downsize my pictures but can't seem to make them small enough.
I referring to the method used here by Prowler:

If you go to the attachment icon (paperclip) at the top of the box when writing a post, reply, etc., it will allow you to upload pictures from your computer or a URL. I believe it will resize them for you.

Cool, that worked quite well but it didn't do the thumbnail.

I think it only does the thumbnail if it is on your computer???

Computer prob didn't like colors or subject matter. LOL:yikes:
GB,
It looks like you sized your image too small. 100x75 is a thumbnail size, small enough to fit inside the post. Your file needs to be resized to fit the pixel dimensions specified in the attachment dialog box that pops up when you click on the paper clip to give you a decently viewable image:
http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m293/billg71/Attachmentdialog.jpg.
JPG files can be up to 800x600 pixels, max file size of 97.7 k. Resize and save your file somewhere you can get to it easily, like the Desktop. Don't worry about cluttering, once you've posted you can delete it, it's on the NGTO server for posterity.
Click on the paper clip(attachment) icon and browse to your resized file:
http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m293/billg71/Attachmentdialog2.jpg
Select the file, hit "Upload" and finish your post. The file will be loaded on the server and referenced to your post.
Try this and see if it doesn't work out. I'm attaching a file using the same method:
HTH,

That was an image I got off the web so it was already pretty small.
I'll try it with a larger picture and see if I can figure it out.
How do you delete the photo's you've uploaded? My attachments summary indicates it's about full.

go to User Control Panel. Scroll down to bottom. Click Attachments. Check the boxes of the ones you want to delete. Click on the button that says "Delete Selected". :D
