Hi admin!
This is the first time I've tried the gallery in its current state. Very nice!!!

It looks like I don't have permission to upload to my gallery though. The drop down list of galleries only gives me the option to select organ brochures. Public gallies is in bold but can't be selected.
I wanted to post up a schematic.

Thanks for the help, the gallery looks brilliant.

Sorry, ignore that. It appears my gallery was a legacy archive, I just had to create a new album in my gallery as you suggested.
Thanks!

Hmm, the gallery seems not to be optimal for schematics, It still downsizes them which makes the small print hard to read.
Is there a special place we could put schematics as opposed to photos, and instead of posting them on a thread we direct folks to view it in the gallery?
The original file was about 120KB and 1500pixels wide.

Again, Thanks!

Ok, I've increased the maximum dimension of gallery pictures to 1500 pixels. Try again and if this isn't sufficient let me know. An alternative to posting a jpeg would be wrap the image in a pdf file and post that. There are no dimensional limits for pdfs, only size limits which are also recently increased.

You could create a public gallery for schematics that any user could post to and become a collection point for all schematics.

Thanks Admin!
I'll give it a crack.

Have yourself a grand weekend,

I've managed to post up a "general schematics" album with a "public album" setting, but It's still under "my album" in "user galleries" which may mean other folks can only view it rather than use it as a gneral collection.
