Premium Members Get Photo Album Image Load Feature
Premium Members!
I have completed our new Premium member only Photo Album capability.
You now can upload, modify and maintain your TractorPoint Photo album of up to 5 Images.
Images will be accessible when a member clicks on your name and brings up your profile. Your Profile will have a link to your album page.
Premium Members will administer their Photo album from their personal profile page by clicking on "myProfile" on the menu.
Loading a new image into the same album position replaces the old image.
The current size restriction is 30 kb for each image. This means that you will need to do some compression before sending them to TractorPoint. I suggest you use a package such as "jasc Photo Shop Pro" or similar package. You should resize your image so that it is less than 600px wide and use the jpg image type. Keep on making adjustments until you get the file size under 30kb.
If you attempt to load an image larger than 30 kb, the system will abort the load as soon as it hits 30kb. The image will then appear truncated on your TractorPoint Photo Album page.
I encourage you to start using this feature, I will probably have to change things as we use it, let me know what works does not work.
To see how it works click on premium member "cutter" then click on the camera.
Thanks

Dennis,
We got the first image in no problem, but I can not get a second image in and it is under 30kb and a JPG file.
I noticed cutter's pics were large and mine is very small am I doing something wrong?

pics are small because i had to keep shrinking it before it would except it with out saying file was to large. must still be a little glitch because i could only load one pic even after altering other pics to correct size.looks like your close to dailing it in though, its going to be a neat feature for the site when its completed. GOOD WORK keep it up.

Great Pix, is that huge tractor yours?
How are your shrinking your images?
I am using Macromedia Fireworks MX, Jasc Photo Shop is also a great package for making images smaller.
For an Example I can reduce the image you submitted a while ago that I placed on the TractorPoint Photo page down to 30kb with a width of 600px and a quality setting of about 55%. I can also do the same image at 400px and 75% quality as well to get the 30kb size.
Your images are only about 200px wide, you may have to find another graphics software package.
I have done nothing to the system since you first indicated you had problems, so maybe the interface was less than intuitive?

I have added a feature to the full thread message page so that if a Premium Member has Pics in their TractorPoint Album the Camera icon will display, if no Pics no Camera icon.

Plots1,
Yes.
You have 5 picture album slots, to put in a new picture, in slot 3, simply choose "Picture 3" in the upload "drop down" box. You can change the pix as often as you like.
We keep your 5 pics on our site as long as you are a "Premium" member, and you can change any one of the 5 pics at any time.
We will not store your previously loaded material.
