SLAS gallery is online!
I just got off the phone with SLAS webmeister Ken Warner who told me the brand spanking new SLAS gallery is on line. In an effort to keep rules to a minimum right now there are only two rules: 1) Users must be current SLAS members. 2) Total space alloted for all images in the gallery is 150 MB (so please try to keep image sizes down). Ken and I are the only administrators for now. That may change. Note that neither of us really know how this is all going to work so be patient and be sure to email us if you run into any problems. At present I will not know if someone registers for an album in the gallery. Hopefully eventually the system will send me an email when someone applies. But until that happens, if you want quicker service, after you have logged in you might want to send me an email saying you have registered. I'll then go into the system and, assuming you are a current SLAS member, activate your album. BTW, comments on pictures will be allowed as well but after the experience we had with porn comments on the old UA gallery, all comments on the SLAS gallery will need to be approved by a moderator before they are posted to the site. Note that if you currently have images on the "Member Profiles" section of the SLAS site (http://www.slas.us/gallery/ member_profiles.htm) you will need to move them to the new site as that section will eventually be deleted. I hope I've covered everything but if you have questions feel free to fire away. And don't forget to send kudos aplenty to Ken. As with the SLAS site, the new gallery has been developed by Ken, is maintained by Ken and lives on Ken's server all at no cost to SLAS. Clear skies! patrick p.s. Oh yes, you may want the URL... http://gallery.slas.us or http://www.slas.us/gallery2
Patrick, I just sent my information in for registration. Awaiting confirmation that I can star downloading some of my pictures to the new site.

I registered, but it doesn't recognize either my user name as entered, or password, or possibly both. Does the account have to be manually authorized by an admin beyond the on-line process? Also, where is the direct link from the SLAS Website. Couldn't find it. Thanks!
"Does the account have to be manually authorized by an admin beyond the on-line process?" I am pretty sure the answer is yes. I was not authorized until the next day. -----Original Message----- From: utah-astronomy-bounces@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:utah-astronomy-bounces@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Chuck Hards Sent: Thursday, January 22, 2009 12:17 PM To: Utah Astronomy Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] SLAS gallery is online!

Chuck, I had the same problem. When Patrick wakes up because he is a night owl, I am sure he will get you approved.

Yeah, the only way I was able to add content was after Patrick sent me an e-mail notifying me that it was ready. --- On Thu, 1/22/09, Jim Gibson <jimgibson00@yahoo.com> wrote: From: Jim Gibson <jimgibson00@yahoo.com> Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] SLAS gallery is online!

Hi Chuck (et al), As others have suggested, new gallery applicants must be manually authorized by one of the list administrators. Since both admins tend to be nocturnal there's a much better chance of being authorized immediately when registering in the middle of the night than, say, morning or early afternoon. As far as I can tell, everyone who has applied for an album on the gallery has now been approved (if we've missed anyone please let me know). Clear skies! patrick On 22 Jan 2009, at 12:17, Chuck Hards wrote:

Hi Chuck, Currently the new SLAS gallery has a separate database from the main SLAS database so it requires a separate registration. To keep SPAM and unwanted material out of the gallery the registration has to be approved. Patrick and I have been approving them as soon as we see the notices. The main SLAS site did have a link in the What's New page. I have also added links to the main page, and the Picture Gallery page. Other ways to get there are: http://gallery.slas.us http://www.slas.us/gallery2/main.php I appreciate all the enthusiasm with the gallery and I have enjoyed seeing all the great pictures already posted.
