Setting up a fotopic site

[LilLoaf]

hi everyone.

I'm wanting to setup a fotopic site for my large collection of railway photo's. ive got the account setup (i think), i just a little confuced as to how to setup differant gallary's to seperate the photo's.

I need to know.

How long it takes before i can view my website, when i type it in i get a message saying something about the owner has not moved in yet.

How to upload pictures from the my pictures on my computer

How to put files in differant gallary

any ideas? thanks

You can't view your website yet as you don't have any photos on there. Hence the "owned hasn't moved in yet" notice.

To upload photos, just choose the "Upload photos" option and then use either the Java or web uploader to upload photos. Then you can publish them to a collection.

It's best to do one collection at a time so you don't get the photos muddled up.

You can either create a new collection before uploading photos, or you are given the option to do it when publishing the photos.

As you're a new user, it'll take a while for Fotopic to confirm that your photos don't break their rules. As you use the website more, you'll be trusted more.

Great thanks got that sorted some photo's on there now.

Now whats the 2 red and green bars on the editing thing when i'm fiddling around with things. One says karma 22% the other says quota 14%.

Another thing, there is something on here saying buy print when i was putting in desriptions of each photo, i didn't put any bank details in or does the website take the profit for whoever buys the photo.

Thanks for explaining everything i hate reading instructions easier just to ask.

Quota is how much space you have. New members start off with 250mb of space (as i can remember) and can be added to by purchasing more quota. Your karma pecentage means that 22% of the time your collections are added automatically. The more karma you have, the less frequently you are randomly selected for manual processing.

Do i have to pay to purchase more space ? if so how much is it ?

Yes, you have to pay for more space. Prices start at £5 for 250MB, discounts start at 2.5GB.

If some purchases a photo, say on a mug or a print, you'll get money for it, which you can request to be sent to a bank account, of which you will have to enter the details.
