How To Upload Images to the GBF Photo Album
Before you can upload images to the Album, you need to create your own Album(s) so you have a place to put them.
(and yup I fixed the problem with the quota being too damn small. The upgrade did this and nobody reported it!)
1) Log in to the site
2) Click the "Photo Album" link at the top of the page
3) You should see a button labelled "Create / order my albums", click on that.
4) You will see your (possibly empty) album list, with "Delete" and "New" buttons underneath it.
5) Click the "New Album" button. A text box will appear to the right of it, where you should enter the name of your new album.
6) When you hit enter or click OK it should appear in the list.
7) Next to each album name is a little green icon
you can click to take you to the upload page
8) ..or you can click "Upload File" in the menu, then select the album you want to upload to.
9) MAKE SURE YOU'VE GOT ADOBE FLASH INSTALLED AND ENABLED!! The new flash-based uploader is far superior to the old system, and while you can upload pix one at a time (see the right side of the upload page) I don't recommend it.
10) If it says something like "error it took too long to load the page" just reload the page. Its a bug in the system.
11) The "Browse" button may be grayed out. This is a a bug in the system I haven't figured out. Click it anyway. You can select several photos to upload at once. Then hit OK.
12) Your photos should upload.
13) They should appear below as they upload, once its complete, click "Continue"
14) on the next screen you can add a title, description, and keywords/tags to the photos, when you're done, click "Apply Changes"
15) Mission accomplished.
Any questions or problems (or bugs like the quota being too low or it not working!) please let me know or reply to this thread. The upgrade made this process a whole lot more intuitive and simple. I hope you'll consider using it more, now.
