The Gallery has been having major problems, but is now pretty much ready for use again.

Please try to keep the size of uploaded images to 1024x768 at the very most. Preferably 800x600. This will help ensure that similar problems do not arise again soon.

There is absolutely no point in posting very large images, as they do not display properly on screen. If you have trouble re-sizing images, then contact me for advice. It is not difficult.

I'm sorry that a lot of the large images had to be deleted. I rescued those I could. Please use this as an excuse to start alll over with fresh images.

Phil and Neil,

Please feel free to delete my images in the postings after a few days if they are too big.

Also, Phil, I have now been able to add items to the Gallery provided that they are not too large.

Chris

I was concerned at first about images being displayed on the forum, thinking they would take up too much space. However the photos are created by a link to another server, so are not actually on our server at all.

However, Neil does print out forum reports for his records. These images may make that difficult for him.

Sorry Chris. No ideas. Maybe file sizes are too large, but I really don't know how it works as the images are not in fact ever loaded onto our server. They are accessed by the link you enter.

Perhaps Dave could help as he seems to have the hang of it.
