Our new picture albums
Greetings members,
We've recently upgraded our forum software and with the new upgrade comes a new feature, We have a Picture Album built right in to the forum software. The Feature is much better than our Gallery.
1. it's very user friendly for creating separate albums and uploading pics.
2. Users can make albums "private" if they wish...meaning only Friends/Buddy's and Mod's can view them, giving each user and extra layer of security if they feel it necessary.
3. All URL properties and Image tags are shown at the bottom of each pic. The code is already there for you, a simple cut/paste of the full size image code will insert it into your posts. Also, if you use 2 windows (one for your post, and the other showing your pic album)...you can simply drag/drop the full size image from your album directly into you post.
4. Since this feature is hard-coded into vBull, it will not interfere with SSL by causing security pop-ups warnings in IE7.
5. The Picture Album feature will only get better as vBull tweaks future upgrades, whereas our current Gallery is as good as it's gonna get.
6. Since this feature is built right into vBull, it takes a lot of strain off of the server...which means faster uploads/viewing.
So...we will leave the current Gallery here (so you don't have to lose/move any pics). We would kindly ask that folks please start using the Picture Album feature, which is accessible in your User CP under the Networking tab. The instructions for creating new Pic Albums and uploading pics to them are very easy to understand, but if anyone has any problems...just give us a shout in this thread, and we'll do our best to help you along!
Peace
