Uploading & Managing Images

[mB_FrankEll]

How do I view images?

You can view all photos and graphic files you upload to the community on your Albums and Images page. This page displays images in two ways:

• The Albums tab displays all of your image albums, including the default Public and Private albums that contain any images you might have already uploaded. You can create new albums when you upload images and move images between albums as needed.
• The All Images tab displays all of the images you have uploaded

To view your images:

1. Go to your profile page.
   A preview of your uploaded images appears on the right.
2. Click View My Images.
3. To view all the images in an album, click the album. Click an image to see more about it.
   To view all of your images, click All Images.

To view another user's public images:

1. Click the community member's user name to go to that user's profile page.
   A preview of that user's shared images appears on the right.
2. Click View My Images.

How do I upload images?

Depending on your starting point, you choose one or more images, choose the album where they'll be located, and upload. There are size limitations, of course, and a community moderator must approve your images before others can see them. You can upload images from:

• Your Albums and Images page
• Any of your individual Album pages
• Post Message, Answer, Comment, Article, and other Post pages

How do I edit an image?

You can change the name, add a description, and apply tags to an image, but you can't edit the actual image in the community. If you want to edit the image, you need to do that outside the community and upload the edited image.

To edit information about an image:

1. Go to your Albums and Images page.
2. Open the album that contains the image you want and click it.
3. Click Edit to change the image title, add a description, and enter tags.
4. To display an image on the front of the album, click Use this image for the album cover.
5. Click Save.

What is a private image?

A private image is one that only you (and community moderators with permission) can see. When you upload an image, you can place it in a private album or public album. Moderators must approve all uploaded images before you can use them in a post or display them in your My Images list.

To change the privacy setting for an image:

1. Click the image to go to the image page.
2. Click Image Options > Move Image.
3. Choose an album and click Move. To make an image private, move it to a private album. To make a private image public, move it to a public album.
