Everyday I will be posting another article on the specific features you will encounter here at TowNation. Todays article is about the Photo Gallery.

WOW! is all I have to say. You can create endless albums, upload endless images and never worry about reaching any limits! The current upload file size limit is 150 megs. If you have any pictures that large, you are doing something wrong! The system automatically sizes the image (just like towtalk did) and also retains the original image in all it's glory. The gallery provides a URL link so you can use the image anywhere on the net you so desire, even tow411! There are no restrictions.

The gallery makes use of flash technologies that will allow you to upload up to 20 images at one time. No more wasted time doing 1 per upload. Just select the flash mode (there are several upload modes BTW), then click 'select file'. This will bring you to your desktop. Open the folder with the images and holding down the control key, select up to ten at one time. Click 'open' and voila! Now, to upload another ten while you are waiting, follow the same procedure again and select another ten files. Once all your images are uploaded, you can click on 'organize' in the menu bar above the photos and drag the images around placing them in any order of display that you wish!

Flash is terrific. It is used throughout this site. I purposely uploaded 59 images into one album so you can see some of the features. Open this link and scroll to the bottom of the page. You will see our implementation of the CoolIris flash photo display application. It is very nifty display application! Grab it with your mouse, slide it back and forth and click on the thumbs that interest you to enlarge them.
