Q: What is it?
A: "Assyrian Voice Pictures" is a special service on our website that lets members create their own albums and upload their pictures and photos there. You can make the pictures either public so everyone can see them, or private, so only you and the people you select will be able to see them.


Q: What is the main difference between this section and the Photo Album?
A: "Assyrian Voice Photo Albums" vs. "Assyrian Voice Pictures":  This section gives the user a complete control over what they can upload, when they can upload etc.  Photo Albums on the other hand is more of a process, where users send their pictures, which then are put in album by the website, and this usually takes more time, but the end result is very difference.  This section displays pictures the way they were uploaded.  Photo Albums on the other hand have their own themes, background music and pictures and much more.  And finally, Photo Albums are more elegant and professional, whereas this section here can be used to upload and display any pictures, including a picture which you want to show someone else; they could be a picture of anything, while the Photo Albums is strictly a social thing. 


Q: How do I register, or get started?
A: To get started, you simply log-in using your forums user name. If you don't have that, you need to register in the forums. Your forums username will enable you to use both services.  Once you log-in into the forums, you will be automatically logged on into the Pictures section.


Q: How do I upload pictures?
A: To upload pictures, simply click on the "Upload File" button on the very top of the page, anywhere in the section. You will then be taken to a new page, where you will be able to upload your pictures, up to 5 at a time. You can upload pictures from your computer, or from the internet, as long as you have the URL to the file and permission to use it. 


Q: What is the difference between "File Upload" and "URI/URL Uploads"?
A: Like mentioned above, you can upload pictures two ways: pictures from your computer and pictures on the internet. To upload pictures from your own computer use the "File Upload" field. If the picture is on the internet somewhere, you use "URI/URL Uploads."


Q: How much storage space does each user have?
A: You can store up to 50 MB worth of pictures, If you exceed your limit, you will not be able to upload any new pictures, until you delete some old pictures. 


Q: What is maximum size of an attachment are we allowed to upload?
A: You can upload attachment up to 1.3 MB big.


Q: I tried to upload a picture, and I got an error message telling me that the file type is not supported. What does that mean?
A: For now, the service only allows files of JPEG and GIF format. Other formats such as BMP are not supported yet, but that may change in the future.


Q: How do I delete a picture or modify its properties?
A: If you are logged in, simply click on the picture you want to change, and from there you will have a whole list of tools that will let you change the properties of the picture.


Q: What is the difference between "User Galleries" and the other 4 specialty galleries?
A:  "User Galleries" are those created by users. While the other 4 specialty albums are created by our website, providing a way for us to categorize the pictures we upload according to: (Assyrian Cities and Buildings), (Assyrian Celebrities and People), (Assyrian Arts and Art crafts), (Assyrian Voice Members Pictures)
The categories are fairly self-explanatory. The user is free to upload their pictures to either their own album or to one of these 4 public albums. It is just a way of organizing things.  For example, an Assyrian artists might find the "Assyrian Arts and Art crafts"Gallery very interesting, and time-saver.  While an Assyrian priest or archeologist might be more interested in the "Assyrian Cities and Buildings" gallery, since in there they can see pictures of churches and other Assyrian buildings, and nothing else. 


Q: What is the maximum number of albums we can create?
A: There is no limit to how many albums you can create, as long as you are within the capacity limit.


Q: Can we create sub-albums?
A: This feature is not available.

hey Ashor and any1 that can help

i just want to know what?s the official maximum size an avatar can be width and length i upload mine i think because its large it just resizes to the default size but looking at other avatars mine looks really small.

 
w = 125, L = 150.  Good thing is, if yours is bigger than that, the forum has a feature that will automatically resize it.  If for any reason you are unable to display your avatar, let me know
 
Good questions, and without being 100% sure, I beleive the answer is yes.
