If I install a photo gallery (I own a domain named gauge3.gallery), there are two questions.
1) Will you use it to upload photos of your lines/completed stock (as opposed to W.I.P. which should continue to accompany posts in the relevnt category)?
2) Any suggestions as to the software (e.g. Coppermine / 4images, etc.).

Several years ago (while I was webmaster for gauge3.org.uk) I added a "4images" gallery and it was quite well used...anyone remember that?

Here are a couple of photos of LMS 7709, from a portfolio of photos prepared for me by Mark Thatcher.

I would be happy to post photos for members interest, but would I need to acquire new  software?

John,
No software required by "users"; it would work in similar fashion to this forum.
You would login to your allocated gallery account and upload your photos.
Regards,
John.

Although there has (so far) been a "limited response" to my photo gallery offer, I have set up gauge3.gallery , using the "4images" management system.
You can self-register as a user but I have to check/activate all applicants (for obvious reasons).

To make it easier to verify identities, please use the same email address that you have registered with the G3Forum.

Regards,
John.

The gallery is a separate domain.
To link an image to a forum post you need to insert the URL of the image into the message.

The gallery software (4images) prohibits "hotlinking" by default (meaning you cannot directly insert images into an external website such as this forum) but I am seeking a "workaround" .... it relates to the handling of "tokens" in the software.

Here is a guide to registering with and using the gallery

Hi, John,

Thanks for your guide, unfortunately it has led me up the garden path fairly comprehensively.  having selected the picture, described and titled it, I then spent 25 minutes entering the capture digits and being promptly bounced back to the beginning again.  Having got everything right, it tells me that the length, width and height of the image is not allowed.  I have given up.  Do I have to re-save every pic at lower resolution?
