| Login and Registration |
| Why can't I log in? Have you registered? You must register in order to log in! Was your account closed, for some reason? If you suspect as much, you should contact the administrator at spectrum_hq@hotmail.com to find out why. If you have registered and and your account is valid, and you still cannot log in then check and double-check your username and password. Usually this is the problem; if not, contact the gallery administrator -- there might be an incorrect configuration settings for the gallery. Back to top |

should I register? You don’t need to register to view most of the pictures contained in the albums of this Gallery, but you do need to register to comment on the pictures, and to post your own pictures. It only takes a few minutes to register so it is recommended you do so. Back to top |

to register? On the left side of each Gallery pages, you will find a little logo which will display the message “open sidebar” when your move your mouse over it. Clicking it will open a short menu.

| I lost my Password. What should I do? Don't panic! While your password cannot be retrieved it can be reset. To do this, click the “Login” option from the sidebar. Enter your Username in the "Forgotten your Password" box. An e-mail will be sent to you with your password. Back to top |
| I lost my
UserID, so I cannot reset my password. What should I do? Contact the administrator at spectrum_hq@hotmail.com . Back to top |
| I registered in the past but cannot log in anymore! The most likely reasons for this are: you entered an incorrect username or password (check the email you were sent when you first registered) or the administrator has deleted your account for some reason. If it is the latter case, then perhaps you did not post anything? Try registering again and get involved in discussions. Back to top |
| Posting Pictures |
How
do I post pictures?
|
| What size should my pictures
be? Pictures shouldn’t be TOO big, but 600 on the larger side of it should be the extreme limit for each picture. We will, however, tolerate a size of 800 x 600 or 1024 X 768 for wallpapers only, as long as there isn’t too many of them. Back to top |
| How can I comment on a
picture? You have to be registered as a member, and you must log in to comment. Click on the picture. You’ll find a ‘comment’ link just underneath it. Back to top |
| How
can I edit or delete a picture? Unless you are the gallery administrator, you can only edit or delete your own pictures. Under each picture, you will find the “Album Action” scrolling menu. Select the “Delete” option. A popup window will open, where you will either confirm your choice or cancel it. Back to top |
| Can
I move a picture from the album it is presently stored in? Yes, if it is your own picture. From the "Album Action" scrolling menu, select "Move".

| Album and Sub-Album Creation |
| Why can’t I create albums? Number of albums are restricted. Not everyone can create albums. If you need your own album, contact the gallery administrator at spectrum_hq@hotmail.com and explain the reasons why you want your album, and what kind of album it is. Either the administrator will create the album for you or will give you the capacity to create your albums. The same rules apply for sub-albums. WARNING: If you have album creation capacity, do not move, or delete an album, even if it is wrongly created. Contact the administrator about it, explaining what you want to do with the said album. There is an unexpected bug in the Gallery configuration, which causes the whole gallery to become temporarily inaccessible if the deletion is not properly done. Leave any deletion or album moving to the administrator.. Back to top |
