uploading images

[Bunyod he/him]

Dear Admins,

In a user profile page there is a section called "Gallery"

It would be nice if we could upload our images there, instead of uploading them in other sites and then using URLs.

Of course I'd understand if its impossible due to too small hard drive space in your server.

Hey there Bunyod

on the main navigation (the one with Home and Forum) there is a Gallery link, if you go there you can upload images to the site in any of those albums, they will then appear in the Gallery page on your profile.

Thank you very much.

I don't mind the use of the gallery for this purpose, but did you just upload your avatar to the Gallery so you could use that URL for it in the Avatar section? You know you there's an option to upload your avatar in the "Change Avatar" section, right?

I can see three appropriate uses of images on 17S.

1. An avatar.

2. To use in a post.

3. To show off to everyone.

For the first two, you can upload the avatar in the avatar section, and for posts you can upload attachments in the post editor. I'm not opposed to you using the Gallery (however, it is not our own image hosting service, but rather a way to show off things to everyone--keep it related to the site), but when Joe posted, I don't think we knew what you were planning to do. Would you mind using the avatar upload feature and I just delete that Gallery entry? I don't see much point in it being there.

EDIT: The two Gallery entries, in fact.
