Hello all,

I have a few more pics to post but I am out of space in the showroom......The pics that you recently posted are in the temporary showroom. For members there are 2 showrooms, temporary and personal. The personal showroom is for pics that stay on the server and are not deleted unless you remove them. Most members use links in their sigs to show the pics. I looked in the members personal showrooms and didn't find your name so I guess you never set one up ( If you want one you have to ask Dot to set one up for you ). The temporary showroom is for all members and the pics are deleted after 60-90 days. I don't think there is any limit as long as you are not uploading 100s of them. Back to your original question, since the pics are in the temporary showroom and you aren't able to upload any more is most likely because the pics are to big. The temporary showroom has a 100k limit and the pics you uploaded are in the 150-175k range so somehow they snuck in. For pics that you already taken just resize them to less than 100k. For any new pics that you take, change the setting on your camera. Most cameras have a email setting, use that and the pics will be smaller. I keep all my pics around the 60k range. Heres one of your pics resized to 42k

As you can see even though the pic is smaller in byte size they look about the same as a bigger pic on the computer screen. Most computers come with some type of photo editing software on them ( I used Adobe Photo Deluxe Home Edition 3.0 that came already installed on my computer to resize this pic ) to edit photos so you don't need anything fancy to do it. Hope this helps.

Actually he does have a showroom setup:

To get more space you need to resize like undee said. I read awhile back that Al was thinking about allowing more space for a slightly higher charge but it has been awhile since I saw that. The other way is to get a gold member account (waiting list) so you have more bytes.

I went to the members showroom area and searched for his name but it wasn't there, how did you find it? All I found were was the pics he had in the tempory showroom.

Is the 1mb limit for both the temporary and personal showrooms or just the personal showroom?

The showrooms listings are case sensitive so what I did is copied his login name and added it to the end of the
http://www.chevelles.com/showroom/ and it popped right up.

Tony,

You got mail smile.gif . I grabbed(copied) your pics and with a quick resave they are all now under a 100k each and if you swap the ones I emailed you with the ones in your showroom you will have some more space. HTH

Hello all!!

Thank you so much for all the effort, I appreciate it!!

With your help, I figured out what I was doing wrong........I was saving the pics at 100% quality. I backed it down to 90% and the files were cut to 1/3 thier original size. This gives me room for about 16 pics!! Check out the new ones when you have a minute!!
