Sir, log in, click on my albums, top of page, create album.

> I'm probably just dense, but reading the directions on how to create an album has left me more confused than ever.

> I can't find a "Create Album" link. The suggested tutorial dates from 2007 and the current iteration of the photo site does not match the
> pictures in the tutorial.
>
> What am I doing wrong? I just want to get one picture of an unidentified part into the forum so someone can tell me where it goes!

> Thanks for your patience.

> I'm in the same boat. I do not have a tab labeled my albums. there is a tab My Photos but no way to upload ?

You have to go to My Albums and add the photos to an album. You cannot just add photos to noplace.

I just checked, that still works for me. I am on my desktop computer, are others using their phone? maybe there is a problem there.

Sir, I got the same issue since I changed phones . I have not found a photo resizer that would work fluidly with Safari on a pad.

> Okay. I got the album created, but when I try to upload a picture, I get this message:

>
> Error creating resized original.
>
> Command:
>
> "/usr/bin/mogrify" -quality 70 -geometry 1280x960 '/home/gmcmhpho/public_html/photos/data/7284/Clip.jpg'
>
> Error code: 1
>
> I tried the original jpeg, and a much smaller version. Both give the same message.
>
> Now what am I doing wrong?

This notice is at the bottom of the main page

NOTICE

The system is set to display a maximum resolution of 800 pixels wide and will not accept a file size of over 400kb. Please use your favorite photo
manipulation program to resize larger photos to at least 800 pixels wide and compress them to less than 100kb.
If you want to upload a photo that, in your opinion, really needs the extra resolution, please upload these very large photos one at a time.
If you need a program to manipulate your photos, there is a really fast and friendly one called AJpegReSizer and it's FREE! It will process a whole
directory of photos at once.
Here's another called X'SqueezeMe! Just put 80000 bytes in the Max File Size box and put 800 in the first Dimensions X box. Choose the files to change
and hit the Process button. That's all there is to it. Quick and Simple! Check Here for more particulars.
Or, you can use the online JPEG Wizard which is very simple but can only resize and compress one photo at a time.
This will take a tremendous load off the system and assure that the thumbnails will be included with the album preview.

Thanks for your help with this.

well after the windows updates and downloading the resize program I figured out that when I set up this fancy thing that I did the one click download
all pics it dumped them all in one file so now I have to go thru all the pics to find the one im looking for and to separate into albums.. and its
touch screen so if yo wave a shadow over it .... .... its gone and I have to start over. then maybe I can resize and download pics to photo site.

> Thank you Sir, I'll open up my real puter and see if I can get it to work.
