Title: Glass miniatures!
Post by: breezybabe on August 13, 2008, 08:42:07 PM
Good afternoon/evening guys! I've been collecting glass figurines for a few years now, and thought I'd join a few forums on the subject! Here is one of my MANY pieces, how about you?

Hi Breezybabe,

The pics can be much larger. If they have a largest dimension (either height or width) of 150 to 400 pixel they will click up to the full size within the message space. If they are larger than 400 pixel they will cick up to full size in a new window. The main limit for pics within messages is that they must each be less than 125kb.

For images of a collection, which for your figurines would be good to see, you can sign up to the GlassGallery and create your own User Album. Then add all your pics in glorious detail and large dimensions and just add a link from the GMB message to the pics.

See Techie Tips: Posting Pictures (http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,6522.0.html) under the forum for Board Information and Announcements.

Any problems, just ask.

Hi, I've signed up to the gallery. Do I have to wait to be approved or can I start uploading to the gallery? Thanks Dawn

Hi Dawn,

Yes, your signup will need to be activated by an admin person in the GlassGallerey. But this should be done quite quickly.

Looking forward to seeing your collection. :)

Hi, I've placed some pics in the Cafe GlassGallery! Is this the right place or should I have put them somewhere else?

Hi Dawn - Sorry about all this hassle, but your picture is still way too small. To have any chance of identifying this sort of lampwork, people will need to see the details. If you can, use your photo editing software to decrease the size of the picture to no less than 400 pixels along the longest side.

If you're still having problems, feel free to email the original photograph to me, and I'll amend it and attach it to your post. Use the envelope to the left under my username.
