"Hi Bob"   

If you are logged in, near the top of the page, you should see some links:

Home::My Gallery::Upload File::Logout

Upload File is the one you want.  After you upload the file(s), you will be prompted to specify which gallery you wish to add them to.  IIRC, you get a prompt per file, so you can upload a batch and assign them to different galleries.

Hope this helps,

Thanks, John.

I'll go play with it!

[BobW]

John,

Your advice paid off.  I was able to add a pic to the "test" gallery I created this morning.

Thanks.

[CapnK]

Glad you got it, Bob.

Grog fer both of ya, more pics!

Where did the galleries go?  Clicking on "Member Galleries" tells me "There are no user galleries."

I know I accessed the galleries the other day.  What am I doing wrong today?

Probably nothing.  If you check this and other gallery related threads, you'll notice that this issue pops up from time to time.

"Try again later" is the best I can advise.  At one point, I thought deleting my sailfar cookies helped resolve it, but later noticed that did not help.  You can try that if you wish.

It's been a very frustrating thing in that it is very intermittent.  Phase of the moon maybe?

[BobW]

So, patience is a virtue waiting for the galleries to reappear?  :-)

[macdiver]

Whew!!!!

I am glad to read this thread.  I was just voyeuring others peoples boats when the member galleries disappeared.  I thought somehow I deleted them and was concerned about a justifiable lynching.

Our Gallery will be offline for a day or two while I do some maintenance and upgrading. I'll post when I get it back up. Sorry in advance for any delay, but I am having to do this between doing "the work that buys boat stuff".

[Godot]

Any luck with the Gallery?  I'm guessing the maintenance and upgraded didn't go as smoothly as hoped.

I know he was working on this until after 0230 last night and back at it at 0700 this morning... hope all goes well.  

Everyone will have to pay him a bonus for overtime in their checks this month.  



  For those of you who have not used the Gallery in the past you can find out how to use it here;

  Look forward to seeing some new pictures from everyone!

WRT the Gallery - the &%$#*&^# Gallery, I should say (due to software difficulties/peculiarities) :

It'll be a bit yet, a few more days it looks like. And a little different when it comes back. Whereas before you could go to the Gallery and be automagically logged in straight from the Forum, from now on out, the Gallery will require a separate login instance.

The reasons for this are mundane and at the same time complicated; suffice to say that it will make things easier on the back end in the future, which will mean maintaining the Gallery will become easier, which will result in no downtime. And no need for me to use language like "&%$#*&^#". Sorry y'all had to hear that...

Status update:

Well, at looong last, I have the Gallery all working properly, pending some more testing by your faithful Moderators.

This means that sometime in the next few days-week, I will be migrating the Forum and Gallery to a new server, and also upgrading the whole website overall at that point in time. This will/might involve some downtime, but it should be less than 24 hours since I have everything staged and ready for the upgrade already.

I'll keep y'all posted, and try to give 24 hours notice before the transition.

Kurt....."you da man"     I can only imagine what a PITA this was to do as well as how many hours (days)  I'm sure I speak for everyone on this site in saying THANK YOU !!!!!!   Have a grog     We all appreciate your time and efforts.

[CapnK]

Thanks Frank! This means soon you can post *lots* more pics of your various and sundry boats and boat projects.
