This feature has been removed and is no longer in use.
 
Hey, that sounds like a really great thing, Jordan! Thanks.
 
Look's good, Jordan. But there's no button in GTP Lite for it.
Yeah, there's no buttons for anything in GTP Lite. I'm going to figure out how to get a link working from user profiles (on both styles).

How do you name your gallery to Gran Turismo 4? I couldn't figure out how to name mine anything.
You should be able to find out the answer to your question here. I'm glad to hear you guys are liking it so far! :)
 
It's really neat! I've never really wanted to use an album type of feature before, but this is fun. 👍
 
OK, I'm getting a few too many PM's here...I'm going to go ahead and post these instructions up on how to get a gallery for yourself.

Step 1: Go to http://www.myphotoalbum.com/signup.shtml and create your MyPhotoAlbum account and gallery.

Step 2: Once you have configured your gallery the way you want it, you can enter the address you chose for your album on the Edit Profile page in My GTPlanet.

Step 3: Enjoy! After you enter the information in your profile, you will see a new "gallery" button appear below all your posts (next to the website, pm, email buttons, etc.) that links directly to your gallery. You can see an example of the button by looking below my message here.
 
Interesting... One question though, are the albums going to be hosted on GTP (As with my two Formula One Galleries) or on FortuneCity's servers? Also, would it function similarly to GTP's gallery software? I guess I'm mainly interested because if I can move my Formula One galleries off of GTP then that's more bandwidth and server space that can be used for other things.
 
Matrixhasu, these user galleries are all hosted by FortuneCity. And yes, they actually do use the same exact software (modified) as I do to manage the GTP Gallery. But, no, this is not any kind of "switch" or anything like that for GTP...I won't be using FortuneCity for hosting anything that has to do directly with the site, they are simply to be the provider for member's galleries.

Your F1 pictures in the GTP gallery are just fine where they are...there's no need to "move" them to your own gallery unless you really want to.

Unfortunately, FortuneCity's servers are painfully slow. GTP's is so much faster.
 
Really!? If anything, FortuneCity and the MyPhotoAlbum's load just as fast, if not faster, than GTP for me. :odd:
 
If anything, this'll be great to host the PSC pics and other random stuff. 👍

Seems it's impossible to hotlink the pictures to GTP, but hey, it's 500 mb worth of online storage for free, so who's complaining! :lol:
 
You can link pictures on the forum to your gallery. My car in this weeks PSC is linked to my gallery.

I guess this didn't work. I went to another computer and when I went into the thread there was another picture there that wasn't my car. It was some advertisement.
 
Is there access to the HTML? The default themes are really lame.
I'm not sure about HTML editing, you will need to consult their documentation for that.

Yes, there is, as you can see on Jordan's Gallery it's customizable.
Actually, FortuneCity's web designer (that girl in my test album) created that custom style for my gallery, should I ever want to integrate it with the site. I'm not sure if you can do that yourself or not. I will ask them if the GTP style can be applied to your galleries as well on an album-by-album basis, to provide you with at least one alternative.

I guess this didn't work. I went to another computer and when I went into the thread there was another picture there that wasn't my car. It was some advertisement..
I'll ask them about this as well...hopefully we can work something out.
 
No you can't. How did you get it to work. I couldn't. I right clicked on the picture, chose properties, and then the window showed up with image size and location and everything like any other image. I copied the address for the picture, went to this weeks PSC and tried to enter my car. It showed up fine at first and I switched computers and re-logged onto GTP and the picture was different. It was some advertisement instead.
 
I had that advertisement show up yesterday, maybe your right, you have to be logged in at My Photo Album to actually veiw the images?

Tell me if you can see this;

If the image is already stored in your cache, it will still display as normal. Try clearing your cache, and you won't be able to see it.
 
Hmmm...I did a test for this myself and I got their hotlink prevention graphic. But now, even after after clearing my cache, both of the images you guys have posted show up fine. :odd:
 
My picture keeps turning into an advertisement. It is right now for me. What do you see? I clear my history and my cookies as well as my internet files and it is still an advertisement. For the longest time I could see the car I posted, but now I get an advertisement. sUn, Your car picture is now an advertisement as well.

I am hosting this image at Imageshack, so it won't change.

Here is what is looks like -

My entry in this weeks PSC turned to the same advertisement as well.

Let's try hosting another picture -

This is weird. My above post and sUn's post no longer has an advertisement in them. They now have their correct pictures. I didn't clear my cache or anything. I edited this post to host another picture and when I was done my picture had returned.

Now it is an advertisement.

I am done saying it is an ad and now it is a picture like a little kid.
 
Nice addition Jordan 👍 The site just gets better and better.
 
Just to update, I have now made everyone's gallery name turn into a link to their respective photo albums on their profile page. :)
