iaucolumbus 0 Posted January 11, 2008 Has anyone ever thought about making an area on this site with only images? Like a giant file archive? I know some of you have some great images and we all LOVE to share. It would be nice to have a place we can post some of our best stuff and let others use the files. Any ideas?

edge 67 Posted January 11, 2008 That'd be kool... I suspect there might be bandwidth and too many bites of images occupying the server issues. Now on the other hand if you wanna start a site for that purpose..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tewfiddy 1 Posted January 11, 2008 I think that is a great Idea, I have alot to trade also. Tewfiddy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest sciondrgn Posted January 11, 2008 The SMF forums has a Gallery package thats free to add on and incorporates a image gallery or just a file download section Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iaucolumbus 0 Posted January 12, 2008 Anyone have any idea how to start something like that? I have never done anything like that. Brent Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kenimes 42 Posted January 14, 2008 If there is an add-on, I will check into it. Again, will need to check with Marcus. Good idea! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kenimes 42 Posted January 24, 2008 I searched the SMF download section and found some interesting things, including a couple of chat add-ons, but I could not for the life of me, figure out how to load them. I will have to ask Marcus for assistance with loading the add-ons, but we did get the OK to do them at least. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest sciondrgn Posted January 24, 2008 Let me know if I can assit Ken, Ive used SMF for years. Its fairly easy to do with the package section they have . Just make sure the version plugin you are downloading is compitable with the forum version were using. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kenimes 42 Posted January 24, 2008 Yea, I got to that point and did the download, but that is where I get stuck.....so I have the file on my desktop and do not knwo what to do with it. I was hoping I could double-click it and it would self-install, but that does not appear to be the case. :help: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest sciondrgn Posted January 25, 2008 Click on Admin, Then Packages from your menu on the left, Click on the Downalod packages option and use the browse/upload if the package file you downloaded is local. You do not have to unpack it. SMF will unzip/unrar the archive and start the install, Just follow the directions for that package you are trying to install and should be good to go This is from my forum, my theme is different but the placement should be the same!

BannerJohn 1,324 Posted January 25, 2008 Ken Another suggestion. I used to belong to a tech forum and they had a section called 'useful links' where you could post links to anything you though anyone would be interested in. Links to graphics,to free software,etc would be usefull all in one place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
