The Blue Line is proud to present a new site feature: The Image Gallery. You'll find the new system to be much easier to use and more flexible due to it's improved features and interface.
To access the new Image Gallery, go to the Main Site and click on the "Image Gallery" link located on the navigation bar below the header. Another benefit of our new site design is that this feature will always be just a click of the navigation bar away.
You can also use this URL to go directly to the Gallery: www.ehmtheblueline.com/gallery.
The Image Gallery is made up of Public Galleries and User Galleries.
Public Galleries are open for everyone to browse. Any registered user may also contribute their images to the Gallery. Galleries include the Cool Pics Galleries for EHM 2004 & 2005, which hold EHM screenshots of note, and The Records Room where you can claim an EHM stats record.
User Galleries allow any registered TBL user to store and display their own images. Simply upload an image and you start your own Gallery!
From the Image Gallery main page your pics are found by clicking on the "Your Personal Gallery" link while the "User's Personal Galleries" link will pull up a list of all current TBL Users Galleries.
User profiles now contain a link to that user's Personal Gallery.
Uploading Images
To upload an image, click on the "Upload Image" button located on the index page of every Gallery (i.e. the page displaying the thumbnails). That brings you to the "Upload Pic" page. Enter a title for the image and a description and then click the "Browse" button to select the image you wish to upload.
Use the "Category" pull-down menu to select a category for your image.
Click on the "Submit" button to upload the image. For your reference, directly under the Category menu you will see listed the guidelines for file size, dimension, and type. Currently Galleries allow .jpg, .gif and .png files. Your file won't upload if it doesn't conform to these guidelines.
Upload time may vary due to various factors and current site traffic. You will be shown a confirmation message once the image has been successfully uploaded.
Some of the public galleries require approval before they will become visible on the site. In order to get your images approved most quickly, notify the Admin Team IN THIS THREAD when you have uploaded an image, mentioning the image's category. Your image will then become available upon approval. Images uploaded to a gallery not requiring approval will be available immediately.
User Galleries Guidelines
The User Galleries may be used for hosting images (both personal and hockey-related) to be displayed in the TBL Forums as well as file screenshots to be submitted to the TBL Downloads section.
Currently, images uploaded to your User Gallery do not need to be approved by the Admin Team. That may change in the case of users found to be abusing the system. They may additionally be subject to other disciplinary measures; ranging from a warning to a ban.
Be sure to stay within accord of any copyright that an image may be subject to.
How to link to images hosted in the TBL Image Gallery
First, click on the appropriate image thumbnail from the Gallery index. Then right-click on the image and select "Properties" from the resulting menu. The location of the image will be displayed in the Properties Window. This is the address to link to in order to display the image on the Forums. The name of the image will be coded in this format (where X is a number):
Code: Select all
http://www.ehmtheblueline.com/forums/album_pic.php?pic_id=XHotlinking Not Permitted or Tolerated "Hotlinking" occurs when a user is linking to an image hosted elsewhere. Images hosted in the TBL Galleries may not be hotlinked at other sites. Likewise, TBL will not accept images hotlinked from other sites. The only images allowed in the forums are those hosted in a TBL Image Gallery or those hosted with a personal image hosting site such as Image Shack.
Hotlinking steals bandwith from the originating site for each time that image is displayed. Many sites trace these links. We don't want our users causing issues for TBL or for other sites by using images hosted by other websites.
