Founder Twilight Sparkle ✨ 8,527 October 26, 2011 Founder Share October 26, 2011 You may or may not have noticed that we have a shiny new gallery now! It's all thanks to our second donation drive, and I look forward to seeing you all fill it with awesome pictures. To start things off, I've created a GIF album with seven sub-albums - one for each of the mane 6, plus an "other/group shots" album. If you've got GIF's worth sharing, upload away! Let's make it our mission to make our gallery the largest pony GIF repository on the web! Of course, no gallery is complete without original content, so if you're an artist looking for a place to share your work, set up your own personal album and feel free to fill it with all the pony art you make. Here's a non-exhaustive list of IP.Gallery's features: commenting system - complete with like buttons! full integration with the search system - try it! full integration with the follow/notification system - look for new settings in your user CP! full integration with the report system - forum rules still apply in the gallery! set an uploaded image as your avatar full-screen slideshows album-specific RSS feeds 'overview' and 'detail' album viewing modes 'Browse' mode for sorting and finding images IP.Gallery is a new application for all of us, so I expect there will be a certain degree of confusion as we all learn how to use it. But that's what this thread is for, so if you've got any questions about the gallery, how you're supposed to do something in it, or how it works, please let me know. Enjoy the donation-powered gallery! 2 Avatar credit: robinrain8 Signature credit: Kyoshi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LyraHeartstrings 482 October 26, 2011 Share October 26, 2011 Alright! Can't wait and see what our community creates and puts in there! And of course see the massive collections of Gifs and pics we'll have at our finger tips! Also, Trixie is now blocked by the forums button... Is this just because my computer screen's too small? Why are you dragging your cursor over my signature? Is there a problem here? Do you maybe expect something special? Honestly, that's kind of creepy. Are you trying to get as much information about me as possible? Maybe you're going to copy and paste this into onto your little collage or all things Lyra? (me, not the awesome BG pony...) You seriously have issues dude... I pity you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Twilight Sparkle ✨ 8,527 October 26, 2011 Author Founder Share October 26, 2011 Also, Trixie is now blocked by the forums button... Is this just because my computer screen's too small? That shouldn't be happening. The forum header should look like this, no matter what size your screen is. Oh, wanted to mention a couple more things: You can upload images up to 20,000 x 20,000 pixels in size. The larger your image (in MB), the longer it'll take to process. If you're uploading a 4 MB GIF and the progress bar looks like it's stuck at 100%, just be patient and wait it out. Also, did you know that you can do this?

Octavia2 83 October 26, 2011 Share October 26, 2011 And yet another awesome feature added - as if this site weren't already awesome enough! Just a few minutes ago, Trixie was blocked off on my screen too. It's fine now, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apple Bloom 2,933 October 26, 2011 Share October 26, 2011 Got a question. Is there any way to move pictures between albums without deleting them first? I just figured out I can make sub-albums and now I want to move all the pictures from the parent album. Signature by @Nico. Come join us for movies and more!

Founder Twilight Sparkle ✨ 8,527 October 26, 2011 Author Founder Share October 26, 2011 Oh btw, I hate this new gallery thing! (look at picture) Uh, what? And yet another awesome feature added - as if this site weren't already awesome enough! Just a few minutes ago, Trixie was blocked off on my screen too. It's fine now, though. If you think IP.Gallery is awesome, just wait until we get IP.Chat. Also, the Trixie issue is because of your cache. Got a question. Is there any way to move pictures between albums without deleting them first? I just figured out I can make sub-albums and now I want to move all the pictures from the parent album. Yes, it's possible. Do you see a checkbox on every image in your album (like in the attached screenshot)? When you click those, a little window should appear at the bottom-right corner of your screen that lets you choose a place to move them to.

Apple Bloom 2,933 October 26, 2011 Share October 26, 2011 (edited) Uh, what? I was referring to the Lie Bloom album picture I posted. And thanks for the info. I had to move some albums around too. Kind of confusing to start with. Edited October 26, 2011 by Apple Bloom Signature by @Nico. Come join us for movies and more!

Octavia2 83 October 26, 2011 Share October 26, 2011 I uploaded a comic, and when you click on the picture in the album the image turns up too thin to read because of the length. Is there any way to resize it so people can actually read it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to move some albums around too. Kind of confusing to start with. Well, that's what I'm here for. Let me know if you have any other issues. I uploaded a comic, and when you click on the picture in the album the image turns up too thin to read because of the length. Is there any way to resize it so people can actually read it? Go to the image's page > right-click the resized version shown > "Direct link to this image file". That should do the trick.

Ganondork 42 October 26, 2011 Share October 26, 2011 (edited) So, is the gallery exclusive to pony stuff? Even for member albums, it seems like only pony images are allowed with the way they were described in the original post. I just would like to make sure it's okay to post videogame screenshots in my album, and such. (and yes, all of the screenshots are made by me. just making that known since member albums seem to be for original content.)

Tyroq 344 October 27, 2011 Share October 27, 2011 Wow this place has been busy. I've only been gone half a week and we already finished the second fund drive, got a member picture album, and filled it with art! Bronies really are amazing creatures.

Founder Twilight Sparkle ✨ 8,527 October 27, 2011 Author Founder Share October 27, 2011 Wasn't Rainbowdash and Fluttershy int he banner...? I know I put them there Yes, but when IP.Gallery added a new button to the header, I edited them out and moved the logo to the left to keep the buttons from overlapping anything important. So, is the gallery exclusive to pony stuff? Even for member albums, it seems like only pony images are allowed with the way they were described in the original post. I just would like to make sure it's okay to post videogame screenshots in my album, and such. (and yes, all of the screenshots are made by me. just making that known since member albums seem to be for original content.) No, it is not exclusively for pony stuff, although that is its intended use. Feel free to upload whatever you want that doesn't break the rules, but put it inside a "Non-Pony" album.

While the gallery is most certainly meant for pony stuff, it is by no means limited to it. Feel free to upload non-pony stuff, too, but try to keep the focus to pony content if you like. Put non-pony stuff in a separate album. Avatar credit: robinrain8 Signature credit: Kyoshi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganondork 42 October 27, 2011 Share October 27, 2011 I tried to, but after I made my main album, I cannot seem to figure out how to make a sub album in it. If I have to donate to do that, I'll try to get that done whenever I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel free to upload non-pony stuff, too, but try to keep the focus to pony content if you like. Put non-pony stuff in a separate album. I'm getting an error message now when I try and upload photos to an existing album of mine. It says I've surpassed my upload limit, but then it goes on to say I have 'Unlimited' upload limit, so why is it contradicting itself? There's a thing in parentheses that says max upload 50MB but that's per upload right? And I'm starting a fresh upload, so that shouldn't apply. Not sure why it's not letting me do anything now... :?
