Uploading Files for LighthouseKeepers.com - 08/15/02 04:42 AM
We're ready to open up the ability to upload files for use on these Collector Forums.
You can upload files through your browser. At the upload page, you will see a space for your name, your email address and room for up to 5 files to upload at a time.
The files will be uploaded into a folder with your email address as its name. Be sure to be consistent in how you capitalize your email address. This will insure that uploads you make in later sessions will go in the same folder.
This service is provided ONLY for registered members of the Collector Forums. Please don't post images for others or for use elsewhere on the Internet.
Here are few notes:
1. You MUST remember the names of your files. There is no way to view which files you've uploaded or not.
2. You cannot delete files.
3. Only image files can be uploaded. This includes files with extensions of TIF, TIFF, JPG, JPEG, GIF and PDF.
3a. Go to the following page to get the form to upload your images..
http://www.lighthousekeepers.com/uploads/
4. The file names cannot include spaces or slashes. Keeping your file names short will help. And name your files desciptively - "hilton_head.jpg" rather than "DSC4578.jpg".
5. Image files MAY be deleted after 90 days. If you have an image you want to remain longer (such as an avatar or signature photo), begin the file name with "perm_" and we'll leave it alone.
6. Files sizes for each image must be less than 1MB and the image size must be smaller than 600x600 pixels.
Once you upload files, the URL of your images will start with:
http://www.lighthousekeepers.com/uploads/files/
followed by your complete email address, a slash, then the complete file name.
If I uploaded "hilton_head.jpg" then the URL for the image would be:
http://www.lighthousekeepers.com/uploads/files/webmaster@lighthousekeepers.com/h ilton_head.jpg
After uploading you will receive an email confirming -- however it does not include the file name(s).
Finally, Dave Hannum has offered to be the "Uploads Wrangler" and take on the duties of answering questions, helping uploaders to figure out which images they've uploaded, etc. For purposes of these services, you can email him at Bubba@LighthouseKeepers.com. He promises to try to get back to all inquiries within 24 hours. Dave receives an email like yours, except that it DOES include your email address and the name(s) of the file(s) you uploaded.
