How to create album and upload pictures to Personal and Public Gallery
If you are not familar with the forum rules, please take a minute to check them out here (http://www.helitown.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3), the gallery has the same rules.
Each registered member is given a disk space of 1500 KB for your personal albums in addition to unlimited disk space in the public gallery. You can create your personal album(s) and set them to either for you to see only, for everybody, for registered members or create password and only share with your family or friends. You can control your personal gallery the way you want: you can edit, delete, and set access level.
Note: though you can set your albums for yourself to see only or password to share only with your friends and family, your pictures are not hidden from the administrators and moderators for moderation purposes. The administrators and moderators can still moderate your pictures in your personal albums.
Server space is expensive. At this point all our registered members are given 1500 KB disk space. So use it wisely: crop your pictures to only what you want to post. If your pictures are already on the Internet, don’t upload it again; just use URL to link your picture to save space. Later on when HeliTown gets more sponsors and be able to buy more disk space, we will give you more disk space. If your personal gallery is full, you can always add more pictures to albums in the public gallery.
If you want to load a picture to your personal gallery, first you must create an album first by logging into the forum first and then click on the gallery link to go the gallery. If you are logged in, you will see four buttons [Create/order my albums], [Modify my album], [My profile] and [Sort my pictures]. These are self-explanatory
