I have no idea if this will show up anywhere but here goes. I come into the forum tonite and find there is new gallery software so i try to go to my gallery and no such luck. It brings up someone elses pics. So I logoff and try to log back in bt it will not accepy my password. So I get new pass word and the reset it. Now I try again to access my gallery again no luck,someone else's photos. I 'm pretty sure i had several shot on the new forum. Try to respond and it says i don't have privileges even though i'm following an instruction to do so. Says I must be a member or login. I see it requires a pdf to explain how to use the galleries. As most on here know about me I'm pretty challenged with digital photography and PC usage because of the complexity and now this forum is just as complex and getting more so. I am becoming fast convinced that this old dog really is too old to learn new tricks. The new forum really is nice and I shall probably continue to try to visit sometimes and look around and I still think this is the best photographic forum on the internet with by far the most talented members.

Ken, The old gallery photos are in the old gallery located at http://nikondslr.uk/gallery_view.php if you want to check out your old images. Please be aware that this gallery will be removed by the System Admin to save us some disk space sometime soon. The reason why you see other peoples photos is because you are going to the comon area as you dont have a gallery album set up. I think once you have created your first album in the new gallery that everything will become more obvious. I did have 'fun' trying to work out how it all worked when there was no or little content. Gary(squarerigger) says he found the new gallery easy to use and he also claims to be PC challenged. Remember you can make mistakes and we fix them later if necessary. Dont worry it will become easier as you use it more.

Hi Ken, Sorry to hear of your difficulties. The gallery that came with the new forum was very substandard for our needs. It has been replaced with a new and very good gallery which allows us to store and view our images. You should be able to simply click on the gallery and go directly to your images. However, because we had to remove the original gallery which came with the new forum, yours and everyone else's images will have gone with it. You need to go to the gallery and create a new album, you can have several albums for different types of image, say perhaps you could have Landscape pictures, car pictures and home pictures for example. It was stated some time ago that the gallery that came with the new forum was only temporary and that we were looking for a much better gallery. Replacing the gallery inevitably meant the images that were stored there would be lost. This new gallery is much better and far simpler to use than the one we had on the old forum and once you have set up an album it should be a seamless switch from the forum to the gallery. As for the PDF, most people who are here won't NEED it but it's good to have in case you get stuck or wonder how to use a feature. The old gallery was far more complex and very difficult to use but we had no PDF! It was the subject of many topics trying to figure how to use it. If you are having log in difficulties or need help with the password I am sure JK will be pleased to help.

I go to the frequently asked questions area and then read the how to use the gallery. There is an entry saying here is the pdf file on how to use. I click on it and it tells me i do not have permission to use. I get the same response in the other place it is stated. Since I cannot download the PDF and i don't know how to start a gallery then how in heavens name do I learn how. I'm really tired of chasing in circles for an answer. The frustration level rises each time I try to do something.

This should take you to the user guide but I found my way by fumbling. http://nikondslr.uk/attachment.php?id=154 Clicking on that link immediately immediately downloaded the PDF which opened itself. Worked perfectly.

If you have popup windows disabled or your browser full screen then it may be that you arent seeing the window that offers you the option to open the file or download it.
