settting up reader rigs

[tpruitt]

ok how do you set up the readers rig. i have a bunch of pictures but i dont know how to put them on the TDR site.

Click on "Reader's Rigs" and you'll see in the top right corner of the frame where it says "Manage your gallery", click on "Manage" and it will walk you through the steps.



Or just go here

ok thanks now how do you get more then one picture. i wont let me keep adding to the folder

 

[RO'neal]

Hmm, don't know. You should be able to just click on "Browse" to find the pic you want then click "Upload" to add the picture and repeat the process. That's what I did...

Like said above you should see the browse/upload buttons right above the first pic in an album. Do you not see that? Or if you see that does it give you an error when you try to upload?

yeah everytime i upload more pics it does not show up and it does not add them. maybe they are saved differently. i will keep trying. thanks for the help

 

[Steve St.Laurent]

My guess is that you are trying to upload pictures that are too large. There is a size limitation of 122,800 bytes - make sure the image is smaller than that. There should be an error message that will come up and tell you why the picture is being rejected. The other reason would be if it isn't a .jpg or .gif file.

thanks guys, i took them with another camara and everything turned out good. the quality is not as good as i want, but at least they are up there now.

More picture problems

I am having trouble posting a picture. I have downloaded a GIF image in my “Reader’s Rig” section successfully, but when I try to get forum codes for the image, an error message is displayed. The message says that the page is not available, as if the TDR web cannot display it. Am I doing anything wrong? Image size is not the problem.

Dave, are you able to view the picture yourself in reader's rigs? - if so, you should also get a pointer to it - I found that if I have my pop-up filter enabled, I can't get the pointers - so I hafta always remember to disable it before attempting to get the pointer...

Thanks Gary,



I found that I had to enable active scripting in my browser settings. I wish there was a list of do's and dont's for the picture problems.
