Using Your Galleries

We've combined both the former Gallery and Profile Picture managers into one complete Gallery Management tool where you can have full control over all of your albums as well as your profile pictures in one convenient spot.

Viewing Albums Create/Delete an Album Edit an Album Uploading Photos Edit/Delete a Photo

To view a member's gallery, go to their Gallery Page and select a specific album of photos available.

When viewing an album, you can choose to browse through the photos in either of two ways:

FULL VIEW: The page displays the first photo in the album and allows you to navigate back and forth through the list via different means; this mode also gives you access to different photo functions (discussed below) as well as the ability to leave comments on pictures. This is the default viewing method. You can also select this viewing method by clicking on the icon at the top of the page.

THUMBNAIL VIEW: The page displays the entire list of photos in the album as thumbnails on one page. Clicking on any of these thumbnails will take you to that respective image in Full View. You can select this viewing method by clicking on the icon at the top of the page.

To browse through a gallery (in Full View), you can either flip through different images one-by-one by hovering your mouse over the current photo and clicking the + and - navigation icons which appear on either side; or you can use the gallery strip located underneath to scroll back and forth through the album more efficiently.

Located below the current photo you're viewing there is the image description/name, as well as three different functions:

VIEW FULL SIZE: Displays the image at its actual size.
SHARE THIS PICTURE: Provides you with the URL of the current gallery image.
REPORT PICTURE: If an image features objectionable content, this allows you to log a complaint to the Nexopia Abuse Team.

To create a new album in your gallery, select CREATE ALBUM from the top right corner of the page.

From here you can enter a name and description for your new album, as well the desired privacy level and if you would like comments enabled or not. When you're finished, click the Continue button. To cancel creating a new album, click the Cancel link.

To delete an album from your gallery, simply click the Delete link on the bottom of the album cover. (Once an album is deleted, you can not get it back.)

To edit a gallery album, click the Edit link on the bottom of the album cover.

This will take you to this album's management page. Click on Edit Album Details to change the title, description, and privacy level. When you're finished, make sure to press the Save Detail Changes button.

To upload photos to an album, press the Add Photos button.

From the uploading page, click on the Choose Pictures button and select an image from your computer (you may upload multiple pictures at once by selecting more than one file from a folder.)

As you select photos, they'll appear in a list directly underneath and upload to the site. When your pictures have finished uploading, two options will appear: View Album and Edit Album. Click on the Edit Album link to take you directly to the manager for that specific album.

To edit a photo, click the Edit link on the desired picture.

A window will appear where you can choose to change your photo's thumbnail crop, description, mark it as the album cover, make it a profile picture, or delete it from your galleries. When you are finished, press the Done button.

CHOOSE THUMBNAIL CROP: This will allow you to change which part of the photo is displayed as the thumbnail. Drag the cropping box to resize or reposition your thumbnail.
PHOTO DESCRIPTION: To change the caption of a photo, simply type in a description in the box beside the picture.
MAKE ALBUM COVER: Clicking this link will set the selected photo as the cover thumbnail of the album it's in.
MAKE PROFILE PICTURE: This option allows you to transfer a copy of the desired photo into your Profile Picture album so it shows up on your profile page. (More information on profile pictures below.)
DELETE THIS PHOTO: Pressing this link will delete the photo from the album. (Once you delete a photo, there is no getting it back unless you upload it again.)

You can also choose to rearrange the order of your photos. To change the position of any photo, simply click and drag it to where you'd like it.
