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 (http://www.onpoi.net/ah).
Then, once you’ve created a free account at the Picture Hangar (http://www.onpoi.net/ah), 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.
(http://www.onpoi.net/ah/pics/users/77_1080096491_inst_upload.jpg)
Click the BROWSE button and locate the picture’s file on your hard drive.
(http://www.onpoi.net/ah/pics/users/77_1080096519_inst_upload2.jpg)
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.
(http://www.onpoi.net/ah/pics/users/77_1080096538_inst_upload3.jpg)
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 (http://www.onpoi.net/ah) website.
Select the appropriate CATEGORY by using the drop-down menu.
Then, click on the UPLOAD PICTURE button.
(http://www.onpoi.net/ah/pics/users/77_1080096556_inst_upload4.jpg)
The file is now “uploaded.” Please wait while the website processes your new file. You will be automatically re-directed to your personal collection.
(http://www.onpoi.net/ah/pics/users/77_1080096580_inst_upload5.jpg)
(http://www.onpoi.net/ah/pics/users/77_1080096608_inst_upload6.jpg)
The Picture Hangar (http://www.onpoi.net/ah) 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” (http:// is what you’ll need. Please highlight everything in the “Image” line and copy the text (CTRL+C).
[img]http://www.onpoi.net/ah/pics/users/77_1080096631_inst_upload7.jpg)
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.
(http://www.onpoi.net/ah/pics/users/77_1080096653_inst_upload8.jpg)
Enjoy and see ya up! :cool:
Sincerely,
The Picture Hangar (http://www.onpoi.net/ah) 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.

Every time i try to upload an AH Screenshot, i get this message:
Max Storage size 3000000 (3000 Kb)
This filesize: 1920054 (1920.05 k)
Only jpeg, gif, zip, swf, ahf, txt, tar files are supported, Sorry! - File type was : image/bmp
What can i do so I will be able to upload AH Screenshots?
-
you gotta convert it to a .jpg there are some programs that will do a decent job of this but paint usually works fine...
-
Thanks for replying, vorticon.
I never received the email notification for iwin's message. :(
-

-
Looks like you're up & running just fine, truekill.
If anyone else has any issues with the site, please email me at tbolt@onpoi.net .
Thanks! :)
An updated tutorial can be found here:

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.

works fine for me

THe picture hangar is so cool. I just created an account. Thanks TBolt A-10 for all the help.:)

I'm leaving town on business this coming week.
A couple pilots have emailed me and asked for new accounts at PH. While I'm away, please email Kebab Meister - kebab_meister@onpoi.net - for new account requests and help.
fyi...he works on Euro time.
-
I had my PH account yesterday. I just want to say a big THANK YOU! to the whole PH staff.
You're doing a great service to the community, keep up the good working!

-
Glad to help, Gianlupo.
-
Any news on when its coming back?
I NEED a hosting site.
-
Happy Thanksgiving. :)
Good question. I just emailed Saw--I'd like to know, too.
Sorry.
-
It's back up... your files should be back up soon as well.

There's a JavaScript check on the upload form, you need to enable JavaScript for the upload button to work.
-
Any reason that the login isn't working? Tried my account and no go. Had a new password resent and still no go.
-
Argh cant upload before i get this annoying message that pops up over and over
about characters i dont use dammit whats up
-
Bug, what's the filename? (Can't PM you)
-
Unable to login using old login and password, do we need to reapply and sign up?
-
Same here.
-
You should not have needed to set-up a new account.
Did you try using the "Forgot your password?" link that is located in the top-left corner?

I done did use it, no wonder they put that thing there :) It done did work too.
-
lol. yea, I gotta remind Saw to make that link a little more noticeable. damn thing works great. :)
-
Good morning ladies!
I will make it flashing orange or something :)
Have been working on the new layout this week end (as seen on the index page). It should considerably speed up loading time as well as making it more accessible to folks with disabilities. I am trying to have it displayed identicaly in IE & FF... :furious

Unless you can make the blind see there will always be some muttonchophead like me who wont see it. :cool:
And the happy face isn't because I'm cool, it's just not showing the white cane that goes with the blind-man sunglasses.
-
Done that, and some other layout tweaks (not counting other things like erasing the entire file database)

i uploaded a couple of pictures but i get the link for them it keeps coming up java scrit error?

That's a question for Saw. I e-mailed him.
-
rogerdee, it's because you're trying to view them in the picture popup page and those pictures are set to private. Either set them to public or click on the "raw link".
I now applied the new layout to most of the site. More in the news section of the site.
-
Thank you its working perfectly now,you guys are doing a won=underful job.

Wont let me log in with IE. Wont let me upload pics with Firefox. I did set up an account and clicked the validation link in the email I got, but it says I need to validate my account before I can upload pics.
I hate it when stuff doesnt work right cuz I have no idea how to fix it lol.
-
Now I cant log in with Firefox either. When I try the page just refreshes with the *login* option still highlighted. ugh.
-
Sorry, Elfie. We don't receive email notices whenever someone replies to this thread.
I forwarded a message to Saw, the web guru. Sounds like something that he will have to look into.
-
My appologies for being late.
Elfie, you need to enable cookies for the domain. Regarding the validation, are you identified as Elfie there?
-
I put up a support form on the website. This allows all of us to receive your requests... should help speeding up answers :)

how do i get an avatar and signature

Well, we're not exactly AH bulletin board administrators. But, I'll tell you this:
To change your signature:
Click on the [USER CP] button (at the top of this web page) and then click on the "Edit Profile" link. The signature text box is near the middle of the page.
To add an avatar:
Click on the [USER CP] button (at the top of this web page) and then click on the "Change Options" link. At the bottom of the "Change Options" page, you'll see the section you'll use in order to upload an avatar.
Good luck.
-
Just an addidtion on the avatar thing:
Max allowed size is 64 x 64 pixels and 30 KB. File format needs to be some picture - id recommend GIF (can be animated!) or JPG. Photosho files (like PSD) or others wont work.
-
Um, Saw, I think I borked teh pitcher hanger. Sorry. :confused:
-
No you didn't Hubs. We had exeeded bandwidth limit last month, it's up again today.
-
Same thing this month?
-
I just checked. Picture Hangar is working just fine. Are you still unable to connect?
-
All good now:aok
-
Do we have to pay for Pictures to be posted now?
-
I can't connect to PH.
-
why does it say my account is suspended? is anyone else having this problem?
-
Not your account. The account with the web host, which would belong to Saw (I think), or Tbolt or somebody. All our "accounts" are subordinate to his. It's something he has to work out with his webhost.
-
Webmaster, please pay the bills, I have pictures anxious to be seen by tens (if not hundreds).:D
-
I hope everything's okay. Could just be temporary, but I hope it's nothing major.
-
Guys,
I'm so sorry about this. I haven't been able to reach Saw as I believe he is moving to Brussels, now. It is very unusual, though, that he hasn't replied. So, I'm concerned.
If I knew who the host was, I'd pay the bill to get things rolling.
No...PH isn't charging for the service.
Again, I'm sorry.
-

lol. thanks. but, no...i just host the picturehangar.com domain name there and redirect to onpoi.net/ah. Ah, I'll LOOKUP the onpoi.net domain before I leave town. that still may not tell me what I need to know, though.
thanks, 2big.
-
I found the host. They accept only web-based tickets instead of phone calls. Will keep you posted.
Cheers,
-
I told Saw'sage that they don't accept sheep as payment!! ;)

Kebab!!! :)
The host replied to the ticket but won't release any information. I don't have Saw's login; so, we're stuck until he gets back online.
-
We heard from Saw. :) He's okay...has been moving (no internet access). He'll have the PH account sorted out soon.
-
Yay! That's good to hear :)
Please wish Saw good luck with moving from us!
Phew, I was afraid we'd have to pay for PH :O
-
I second Frank's sentiment, good luck Saw. Moving is a beyotch!
-
Saw is just about ready to lock the PH web site for a while and begin the transfer to the new host. Please be aware that the site will probably be locked within 48 hours. The site will be unavailable to us until the transfer is complete. We're hoping this will take no more than a few days.
Thank you for your patience throughout this very necessary process!
-
Any plans on re-opening?
-
Yes. Good timing, Frenchy. Yesterday was the first time in a long while that Saw has had the chance to respond to our e-mails.
Saw is fine. But, let's just say that some people that are close to him & his Lady have been in need of his attention.
Saw said that he is starting to upload the files to the new host tonight, and he apologizes for the delays.
His priorities are in good order, though--loved ones have to come first.
-
Amen to that.:)
-
don't know if you all know, but picture hangar is back up and working finally.:D
-
lol. well, uh...i think Saw got drunk one night and re-activated the site, but the layout isn't quite set.
i'll let Saw explain his intent (whatever that might be). :)
-
Sorry folks, mad busy with new job ATM, put the wrong index up & lost the good one... will dig in my older backups & will sort it out as soon as I can.
Cheers,
-
I don't care what it looks like, just as long as I'm in the top 5 user list.:D

Having trouble with PH. Registered and clicked link in email. PH page said click to continue and Login. Back to what looks like Home page. No standard login anywhere. Read I should pull down menu and click on File>> Upload File. It don't work. New page says,
"Your account has not yet been validated, please follow the link in your account activation email to validate your login and be able to upload files."
Did that twice just to be sure.
So where is the ^**%$#* login already?
-
Have you tried the "My Collection" link?
-
Yea, sorry Sloehand. Saw's buried with work, but he knows the main page needs to be repaired when he has time.
The home page is messed up. But, you WILL find the login box at the top-left of the screen when you use the silver menu bar at the top of the screen to go to pretty much any other page on the site
I'd suggest clicking...
File > Upload File, or
Collections > My Collection
I checked under the hood and found that your account is already validated. Let us know if you're still having problems logging in.
-
For the people who just signed on, are they able to download images yet?

Hi, Bosco. I'm not sure what you're asking.
You can download the images that are in your file by logging in here (http://www.onpoi.net/ah/news.php) and clicking COLLECTIONS > MY COLLECTION in the silver button bar.
To upload files, you'd click on FILE > UPLOAD FILE.
I hope that answers your question. :)
-
well here are the two things that I keep on getting:
Java Script Error
Description: Syntax error
http://www.onpoi.net/ah/new_entry.php?=SID
See more details?
or
Your account has not yet been validated, please follow the link in your account activation email to validate your login and be able to upload files.
so what do I do?
-
I forwarded your issue to Saw by e-mail. Sorry, Bosco.
-
Tell him to PM me then, Thanks.
-
Well I have some more bad news. It now says that the account has been suspended on the AH part of PH.
Whats happening?
-
Question, is 10MB the max storage limit? I used to get upgrades whenever I neared my max storage capacity, now it's capped at 10MB.
-
Is it still possible for new users to sign up? I didn't see any option for it.
Thanks, Chris
-
There should be an option for that when you attempt to login. You can login when you go to File>Upload File. (Website Navigation Menu, not the "File" on your web browser.)
-
Thanks, I signed up. Do you know generally how long it takes for the confirmation email to arrive? Thanks, Chris
-
No, I don't know. Recently some people have had issues receiving the email.
-
I've been trying to upload new pics for 2 weeks and no matter what type I turn them into, it gives me an error of unsupported file. Also, I get a not authorized - IP address logged message when I try to delete any of the pics I have. Is there really a difference between JPEG image and JPEG?
-
Saw, please return to save us all!
-
When I try to (re-)register all it does is update back to the registration page - no indication of success or failure.
Also I cannot seem to navigate past the 1st page of the "public collections" Can't get to any sub-categories, or use the search feature.
Used both IE and Firefox - could be an issue with some setting I have...
-
It seems to work ok with photobucket also.
-
Hey all, I have a problem with PH.
First off, all my pics are saved on the comp as JPEGs, GIFs, etc. but are on some strange compatability mode with 'Picture Manager'. I try to upload my pics on the site and it states that all my JPEGs (for example) are image/JPEG rather than just JPEG.
Any way to fix this?
-
PH seems to be fighting me also. It thinks I am attacking it "possible upload attack" with my jpegs. :cry
-
PH has a lot of problems right now. For now use either ImageShack (http://www.imageshack.us) or Photo Bucket (http://www.photobucket.com).
-
PH is all fubared .
-
Yes, unfortunately. Had a lot of images on there I'm trying to access. Can only get to the first page of my collections, all the rest are lost. :(
-
that sucks! Although I can't get any of mine to work anyway, I always did enjoy coming in and looking at other's screen shots.
