I didn't see any upload feature on the site you linked to above. Even if it is hidden somewhere, they do not use the same forum software that I use here. I have many reasons for keeping this particular version and have no immediate plans to change.

I've uploaded several images over the past couple months and it has worked out fine for me. I uploaded two design examples in the "web development thread" just today.

Could it be because the Film-Tech uploading and renaming processes are a bit less than handy, that so few new pictures show up...?

I guarantee you that you are just making a simple mistake.

Also remember, I am not a computer programmer. As I have said before I fake my way through these code modifications to the forum program. But it's better to have something that does work with a few restrictions than not to have anything at all. In time it will get better. Things always do.

Do take special note that if you are viewing your pictures in a program other than Internet Explorer that the program may be shrinking them down to fit on your computer monitor.

By default IE6.0+ resizes pictures to fit the browser window if the file is opened directly.

Thanks for that tip. I did not know that. I have been trying to figure out a way to have the server check the image size and reject anything that is too large. If anyone is a super computer whiz programmer and is willing to assist, please contact me. Idiot proofing things is always a good idea.
 

code:

#!/usr/bin/perl
#  gifsize
open (OFN,">-"); # use standard output as default
if($#ARGV > -1) { # but allow redirection to a file name
  close OFN;
  open (OFN,">$ARGV[0]");
}
# print list header
print OFN sprintf("%-32s %-6s %-6s\n","Filename","Width","Height");
$w = "";
$h = "";
foreach $fn (<*.gif> ) { # list all .gif files
  if ($fn =~ /\.gif/) { # redundant for now, until I figure out .jpg format
    open (FH,$fn);
    binmode FH;
    read FH,$w,6; # skip first 6 bytes
    read FH,$w,2; # width
    read FH,$h,2; # height
    close FH;
    ($wl,$wh) = unpack("CC",$w); # there is probably a more
    ($hl,$hh) = unpack("CC",$h); # elegant way to do this
    $w = $wl + ($wh * 256);
    $h = $hl + ($hh * 256);
    print OFN sprintf("%-32s %6s %6s\n",$fn,$w,$h);
  }
}
close OFN;
