Hi,
Can anyone tell me how I create my own personal album?
Now that the tank is looking ok, I'd like to show it off!
Cheers,
Ryan

Gidday Ryan,
I'm surprised no-one has answered your post yet. I just figured it out by exploring. And checked yours was still unused before I wrote this.
Goto your profile (NOT via the option at the top of the page), use the profile button on your post, or select your user name if it appears in a Forum directory.
On the right hand side are two links, one is to go to your Personal Gallery. Once in, press the Upload Image button - the rest is straight forward.
Enjoy!
And If I may complain....sort of...It'd be nice if you could load more than 12 images. Is it possible to limit your total gallery size in Mb's instead?

I think Jools has put the limit of 12 images for two reasons:
1. It's easier for the user to determine the number of pictures than number of megabytes.
2. The bandwidth needed to show images is only partially the actual image size - there's a bunch of thumbnail traffic and overhead in the form of what's transmitted with the image. So if you compress your JPEG's to maximum and make them really small and have 100 images, the bandwidth load on the server from people viewing your images would be much higher than if you have 12 images with lower compression ratio.
There's two "costs" involved in keeping these images on the webserver: storage space and bandwidth. These costa are payed by Jools with the income from the Google ads and donations. Please feel free to donate with the button below. It costs something like US $30 per month to keep the servers running.
There's other places where you can post photos for free, and you can, should you wish to, link to those places in your signature, or set it as your "www" in the profile.

Cheers Mats, I believe I have two avenues immediately open to me for web content posting. I'll extract one of these digits shortly and get to thinking about it...(scratch's self)...
Oh, and I checked out your off-site gallery, very nice! Now how can I convince my Missus to allow me a Digital SLR?
No worries Ryan, you've obviously got something there worth checking out...Let's have a look shall we?...

The gallery feature is hard to find for a reason, it's really only for the odd "what is my catfish" type post, not as a gallery per se.
If anyone wishes to donate some paypal cash to the cause, I'm sure I could increase their gallery allowance!
It's a questions of resources. Let's say everyone posts an average of 3 pictures. Using around .75 meg. Now, we have 4350 active forums members - that's a total usage of over 3 gig!
