VMK Forums - Virtual Magic Kingdom Online Community, Forums & Fansite - Uploading Images Into the VMK Gallery (basics)

Special thanks to The Dogfather, a member of Toontowncentral.com, who made this pictorial guide to using our Gallery! I accept no credit for this guide whatsoever, I am merely copying it over here for the VMK members. Pictures shown are from Toontowncentral.com but the layout should be the same for VMK.

Posting Your Image(s) to a Thread

1. To post an image to a thread you must first go to where you initially uploaded the image, whether in an album or the main gallery

2. Click on the thumbnail of the image you would like to post and you will see a larger version of your image.

3. Depending on the physical size of the image, the first click takes you to a "medium" version of your image

4. You can post this version if you would like, but the size is smaller

5. Click on the image again and the actual image of original size will come up (only for large images)

6. Under your image you will see the "Additional Info" box under your photo
