Photos count in PM area

[walnetto]

When I get a PM from someone and look at their info area in the upper right above the message, it says 13 photos for that poster. I believe it is getting the number from my gallery, however, the link is correct to the sender's gallery. It looks like someone who sent me a message has photos, but they don't. I don't know if this is a software bug or an administrator's problem.

I have 15 photos in my gallery now.

But in your PM to me, it said 13 (mine), but it will go to your gallery. It's got to be a bug in the software.

No bug, that is the way it is suppose to work. When I clicked on your 13 in your PM to me. I saw your photos, by the way nice car.

How do you post photos? I tried to post and it ask me for a url. What are the steps you take for posting pictures out of (my pictures on computer)?

First, you have them reduced to 1024 x768 or less, 640 or 800 are other sizes to shoot for. I found a really cool program that will reduce photos in batches by dragging them over the icon. Then you have your original and the copy with the size in the name. Makes for nice uploads to galleries and Craigslist and the like.

Scroll up to the red menu bar and click Gallery.
There is a upload photo link near the top on the right side.
In the 2nd area down called Upload Photos, there is a list to Choose Photo for your photos. You can add 5 per upload.
You can give it a title. If you do more than one, it will open a new window and you fill in the information for each photo.
Scroll down and click on the Upload button.

Okay, my memory is vague here, but I remember what you might be seeing. I think I didn't have the Choose Photo button at first either when I was establishing my gallery. What you can do is right click on any photo on the web and choose Save image URL. Then paste it in and save or upload button. That will establish your gallery with one photo. Then you can use the instructions above and add photos from your computer. When you are in your gallery and choose the picture, there is a delete photo link to get rid of that first photo.

Hope this helps and hope I'm right.
