Uploading pictures and videos.
There are two types of Albums - Club Event "Albums" and "Members Albums". Club Albums have been created for various club activities and events.
Members can upload files into the appropriate club Event Album or create a Member Album. All Albums are viewable by all members. Members can move / remove / edit their own pictures but not any others.
To create a new user alarm - click on the "My Albums" and then select "Add User Album".
If you would like a new "Club" Album please ask Jeremy / Steve.
Multiple files (pictures, video etc) can be uploaded together. There are some, quite generous, file limits. The maximum pictures size that can be uploaded is 2MB. Video files larger than 2Mb can be uploaded individually.
Acrobat Flash Player is required for Multiple files to be uploaded and your browser must have Java Script enabled. Flash Player can be downloaded from Adobe.
The following file types are supported.
- Image files: bmp, png, gif, jpg, jpe, jpeg
- Audio files: mp2, mp3, mpga, ram, ra, wax, wma, m4a, a-latm, ogg, rpm, mka, wav
- Video files: avi, mpg, mpeg, mpe, wmv, mxu, m4u, movie, qt, mov, rv, flv, mp4, mkv
- Multimedia archives: zip
Note that your browser must support java script or Flash for the bulk upload feature to work.
It is also possible to put links to videos hosted on, for example, YouTube.
Viewing Pictures and Vidoes.
Some file types - particularly video - may require a suitable plug-in for your browser. These include plug-ins for "Media Player" and Quicktime.
