De.scription and Message

When you add an attachment, a photo, that photo comes up as a black and white negative ....

any idea what that could be?

[ZacFields]

need to set up the attachments to upload via FTP instead of through the browser.

ACP ==> Attachments ==> Manage

Turn "enable ftp upload" to "yes" and below there, enter your FTP information. Once you've done this the images will load up beautiful. It wont change anything from the user-side. They still upload the images the same, it just changes the way the images are uploaded.

Thanks for the help .... i'm running out the door i'll try have to it later.

[BobT]

Ok that fixed it ... thanks

[ZacFields]

no problem at all. Always glad to help. It stumped me at first. I think the problem may lie somewhere in your server settings, but the easiest fix is to just allow ftp uploads. I think the album does this same thing also so if you're having problems with your album you can also change that to FTP upload too.

Thank you for the info

... When i first heard it i had to see it before i would believe it .... I do not know how a image is read, but it is a pretty neat trick that a problem can cause a perfect B&W neg ... i would think there would be some distortion in the image or something other then what i got ... anycase problem solved ... a work around anyway ....

Thanks again
