How to post an image on IFI

[Glenn]

Go to IForgeIron.com and log in.
Go to the IForgeIron Gallery
Click on upload photos

Click on browse and locate the image on your hard drive.
Click on the image and then open
Repeat as needed for up to 20 images.

Enter a default title for the photo(s) you are uploading. If you are uploading more than one photo, you will be able to change this on the next page for each photo.

Enter a description for the photo(s)

Keywords are what the search engine used to search through the over 8000 images on file when you do a search.

Click upload/submit

---------------------------------

You should now get a listing of the photos and an opportunity to make any changes. Click the box to add the photo, then click upload/submit.

This then created a thumbnail image, a normal size image shown in the gallery and a full size image that is viewable when you click on the normal image.

To add a photo to the forum, copy the linked thumbnail URL (the LONG one) from the gallery and post that URL directly into the text of the forum. It is just that easy.

Hey Glenn when i tried that it said the file was not in exceptable format its a pdf file how can i change it.

[Glenn]

The gallery will accept several different formats, jpg usually being the fest choice.
PDF is a text/image combination file. Pull out the image if possible, and submit just the image.

Is there a way to delete an image and / or move an image to an album? When I tell an image to be copied to an album I have just created it copies the image but puts up a thumbnail image stating the image is waiting on approval. If I create a new album and upload to that I have no problem. When I copy an existing image to an album it leaves the old image in place. What I am attempting to accomplish is to clean up / organize my gallery area.

[Glenn]

When you copy, you retain the old image and create a duplicate (copy) to be placed in another location. Try the move command, as it removed the image from one location and places it in another location that you specify.

I will have to play with the gallery a bit to work this one out. For now just create an album and re-upload the images. It will create 2 copies but that is tolerable. On the new uploads, please provide some text with the images telling us what we are seeing. Please add keywords so the search engine can find those words during a search.

It won't work for any form of picture on my computer. After the first few it kicked the bucket and now won't let me upload anything.
