Which category to use in the Gallery

Hi everyone

I was thinking of uploading some photos in the Gallery. It asks me which category do I want to use and gives me three choices

Members
Main
A Category

I would be really thankful if anyone could tell me what the difference is between these three and which are supposed to be used for what.

Regards

Kevin

Main = if you don't care where your pictures are, also a preview of all of the pictures
Members = your own little corner of the gallery
A Category = probably one of those never fully developed features from vBulletin

Once you upload pictures, they will be listed under your name, and you can manage them using the Gallery Profile.

You are the first one to ask about this, if you need more help, I will try and step through it for you

Hi Rick

Thanks for that. I have 75 photos I am trying to upload to the gallery each about 3.2mb. The system says file size exceeds limit in each case when I try to upload.

Does this mean the picture are just to big (file size wise). If so is there anything I can do to upload them?

Any advice much appreciated (whenever you have a spare few seconds!)

Thank you

Kevin

Yes, they are too big, resize them on your computer, and then upload.

It is the simplest I can suggest
