Gallery Back online + Important Announcement.

[bigshrimpin]

I am pleased to announce that the Gallery is back online and that the annoying Gallery login problem no longer exists.

Important Announcement:

1. We need more space:

The current hosting plan that I have only allows for 50mb of space. We are currently using 40mb, so that give us only 10mb of space to play with.

Solution: (short and Long Term)

Short term:

I really want to avoid another disaster like this past week, so I am temporarily cracking down on the file size of pics being uploaded to the gallery.

Pics => must be under 200kb each. until the site is moved to a new ISP.

Long Term:

I plan on moving the site in the near future to a different ISP that provides almost 10x the space for the same rate, so if you have piles of pictures . . . try to hang onto them until the move is completed . . . . probably the week after new years, but maybe sooner.


2. That's all and have a great Thanksgiving!!!!!

PS - for all you new folks.

If you'd like to show off some pictures of your boat in the gallery, you'll need a special gallery account to post your pictures. To get an account for the gallery you must send me an email: [email protected] and I'll create an account for you.

Gee!! Just after I just now finished my gallewry!! I just redid it so to try to show how I did the conversion.
Well to all I just redid my gallery if you would like to take a look.

Now I am going back to resize all the pic >:(

Don't worry BS I still love you ;D

[bigshrimpin]

MJ - you should be sleeping now.

[macojoe]

So should you!! ;D

I am a night owl, I am up every night this time!! I have worked grave yard for 23 years!! Old habits are hard to break.

Thanks MJ - It's only temporary until the site is moved. *I am glad you read this . . . we only have 5mb's of space *left now. *If you want help . . . *I'll resize the pics for you. *You should be able to get a decent quality shot at under 100kb per pic. It's a pain to resize them, but it make the site faster and keeps the total size of the site small.

Monday . . . . I call Omnis and get a larger plan for the time being. *

[macojoe]

Now Bs is there away I can change the pic's without retyping the captions??
All pic's are resized and I am ready to post

[bigshrimpin]

Yeah but not easily, it's probably faster if you retype the comments. *

Btw - Nice Pics!!!

MJ - be sure to remove the old pics before you upload the new ones. *

[macojoe]

well it is real easy to resize the pic's!! All you have to do is go to admin options and choose resize all and it works great!! but I found it after I delted the 1st 4 pic :o Now how can i get them back to the first 4 spots??? I made them in order and now they are not??

:'(

[bigshrimpin]

Yeah . . . about that resize feature . . . .

It resizes the pics, but the original ones stay on the server. So you just essentially just doubled the amount of space you were using up with one click of the mouse. Hang tight until tomorrow and we'll clean up the album.
