Picture Hangar
« on: March 23, 2004, 09:07:02 PM »
A few times now, I’ve seen new members of the community ask how we include images in our posts.  This is an easy, reliable way to do it:

First, go to the Picture Hangar.
Then, once you’ve created a free account at the Picture Hangar, you’ll need to upload the photo that you want to share.

Uploading is very easy.

Simply click on the FILE button at the top of the webpage and then click on the UPLOAD FILE button.



Click the BROWSE button and locate the picture’s file on your hard drive.  



Once you’ve located the file, use your mouse to highlight the file and click the OPEN button.  This will tell the Picture Hangar’s server that this is the file that you intend to upload.



Be sure to write in a caption for your photo.
Choose whether or not you want the photo to be part of your PRIVATE collection or available for PUBLIC viewing at the Picture Hangar website.
Select the appropriate CATEGORY by using the drop-down menu.
Then, click on the UPLOAD PICTURE button.



The file is now “uploaded.”  Please wait while the website processes your new file.  You will be automatically re-directed to your personal collection.




The Picture Hangar website will automatically give you a web address and vB code tags for each individual file that you upload.  In order to include a picture within your post on these bulletin boards, the “Image tag”

When you want to include the image within a post here at the Aces High BBS or any vB-enabled bulletin board, simply paste (CTRL+V) the “Image tag” into your message.  When you submit your new post, the image will appear within your message exactly where you placed it.




Enjoy and see ya up!  :cool:

Sincerely,

The Picture Hangar Team

New features:

Background colour Select your own background colour for the whole site. Go to your user options, it's at the bottom of the page

New Cut/Paste Method
In both your collection and the public collections, the cut/paste method has changed:

You now click on the link (Image/caption/thumbnail) and the selected link will be displayed in a textfield on top of the page. This should avoid having multiple text fields on the page and make it look cleaner.

It has been tested in IE6*, Firefox and NN6*. Please Private message me if you have a bug with this feature.

Squads
There is now a Squad/Team section.
To create or select an existing squad, go to your user options

To browse through the Squads/teams, go to the Squad/Team page.

Tutorial
There is now an updated Tutorial in the Help section of this site.

We're starting to feel a bit of a crunch in storage capacity at the Picture Hangar now that we're continuously getting new users from communities outside of Aces High.  So, we locked the new membership sign-ups until other arrangements can be made.

Saw and I talked about it, though.  Since the Picture Hangar was originally created for the AH community, we want to still offer memberships to AH pilots even though other communities are locked-out.

If you would like to host your files at the Picture Hangar, please email me at tbolt@onpoi.net.  I'll need the following:

1) Your AH handle
2) Your email address (must be valid)
3) The country you live in

See ya up.
