**There is no need to download this file.** **The entire contents are copied
below. **
If you are unfamiliar with the concepts of "Uploading" and "Downloading," we
highly recommend you visit either the ASTRONET Personals Help Center or
keyword: DOWNLOAD 101 (Lesson 7 covers Uploading) for assistance.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you cannot upload and are using Windows AOL 4.0, please make
sure you have the release version. One of the "preview" versions of 4.0 had a
bug that prevents uploading. You can obtain the most current released version
of AOL at keyword UPGRADE.
If you have questions about photo uploading, please email screen name
AMatePhoto.
A. We accept *ONLY* valid, readable and properly named JPG (preferred) BMP,
or GIF files. We can only accept individual portraits--group shots will
be rejected. This is for both practical and privacy reasons.
It may not be clear which person in a group shot is you, and the others
in the picture may not want their image online. To help make sure you
are uploading the right photo, open it first with AOL, using the
"Open" command from the File Menu.
B. We prefer image sizes of 190 x 190 pixels (about 2 inches by 2 inches),
which fit the online display window. You are free to submit other sizes, but we
must scale or crop it to 190 x 190 pixels. We reserve the right to reject very
large photo files that take too long to download. In general, files should be
500 kilobytes or smaller.
C. To update your photo with a different one, simply upload a new one and we
will make the change. We want you to be pleased with your online appearance,
but unless it is to correct a problem, we reserve the right to not process
photos if members are merely "alternating" pictures in an attempt to stay in
the "New Arrivals" section. Duplicate photos uploaded within the same 30 day
period will not be processed.
NOTICE TO UPLOADERS:
If you are reading this file and are stuck at the screen you accessed this file
from, to proceed, simply close this screen and look at the bottom of the File
Library display screen. At the bottom of the screen, you should see several
different buttons--one of these buttons should be labeled "Upload." Click on
that button to continue.
The next screen will be the File Upload Form. This form, which is standardized
for all AOL libraries, contains the following fields:
Subject: (required)
Author:
Equipment:
Needs:
File: (display only!)
Description: (required)
The two fields listed above which are followed by "(required)" *MUST* be filled
out before the AOL Software will allow you to upload a file. The rest of the
fields can be left blank. The "File" field can't be changed, but will display
the name of the file you decide to upload. You select this file by clicking on
the "Select File" button then using the "Attach File" dialogue box to pick the
file you want to send.
NOTE: While you are free to place your "Message" to other members who decide to
look at your Photo in the "Description" box provided on this screen, we highly
recommend that you do not use it for this purpose, but create an ASTRONET
Personals Profile instead. Our profiles are searchable, and can be read while
viewing your picture online. Also, you can readily change profile text at any
time by simply submitting an update.
Photos are processed at least once a day, so you should see your submission
online (check in our "New Arrivals" area) within 24 hours. If there is some
reason we can't put your Photo or Profile online, we will send an explanation
via E-mail from screen name AMatePhoto.
