Johhny,

The process for uploading to the gallery should be:
1) Click on "Gallery" link, which is the third from the left on the blue banner at the very top of the site home page.
2) Click on "Upload Photos" link which is on the far right hand side of the third blue banner down on the resulting gallery page.
3) Select an appropriate category for your photo from the drop down selection adjacent to the text "Choose a category to upload your images to.
Pick a category that relates most to your image(s)." Do NOT keep it on the default "Member Galleries - Do not upload here".
4) Click on the "Browse" button adjacent to the text "Select the photos you wish to upload from your computer:"
5) Find the photo you want to upload from your computer
6) Enter a title for the photo. Give it a meaningful, unique title, it will help.
7) Enter a description - something you want to say about the photo. Ignore the "keywords" box on this page, any text entered here for some reason gets cleared on the next screen. Don't ask, I don't know why.
8) Click on the "Upload/Submit" button.
9) You will then see a page titled "Add Photos - Select Photos / Configure Properties" where you can add more information to that which you have already entered. The keywords box does function at this point BTW.
10) Click on the "Process" button at the bottom.

Repeat as required up to the maximum of 4 photos per 24 hours.

The picture should then appear on the gallery page, be entered in the appropriate gallery sub section and be automatically entered in your personal member gallery.

As Christine has said, please observe the size limits. Max 200kB (ideally <100, but some pictures compress better than others). Most people can see the images at their best when 1024 pixels wide (landscape) or 800 high (portrait).

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Duncan
