Please note that each of the galleries have their own set of Guidelines & Rules.

GENERAL RULES FOR CREATING YOUR ALBUMS (Rev. 8/19)
  1. Unless you are a moderator or an administrator of the gallery, all images that you upload to the galleries must be your own and you must have full copyrights to those images.
     
  2. Links and banners may be used in the album descriptions, however, please limit the size of banners and/or images to no more than 300 pixels wide (depending on your highlighted image) and no more than 150 pixels high. Images and links should be created using HTML only (as a rule of thumb, if you do not know the basics of HTML, please do not attempt it).
     
  3. Please keep your title to a minimum of 40 characters (including spaces and symbols). The moderators reserve the right to edit, if necessary.
     
  4. Limit the number of characters in your gallery index description (i.e. when you're in the view that lists the individual member's albums with one highlight picture) to no more than 350 characters (including spaces & symbols) -- or 12 lines when logged out (when you're logged in the spacing differs from when you're logged out, so make sure it doesn't exceed 12 lines from the pink horizontal line to where it says "Owner:". Example: Kim (imagesbykim) has 11 lines, including the blank lines in between. It should be more of a summary rather than a detailed description.

    Then you can make the description as long as you like within your album. To do this, while you're logged in, go into your album, click on the drop down menu and select properties. There will be a text box at the top that you can add your LONG description to.
     
  5. Sub-albums can be created within your main album, however, they will not be listed on the main album index - they will show up like regular photos in your main album, but with "Album:" next to the title.
     
  6. Do NOT use the "Featured Photo" feature in the individual images' drop down menus - this is reserved for the mods and admin.  You CAN use the "Highlight Photo" feature, which will make that image your main gallery photo.
     
  7. Limit your upload file sizes to under 1MB (around there will still take time to load) -- keep the file sizes as small as possible without reducing/sacrificing the quality of your art piece. All larger artpieces uploaded will be automatically reduced to 600pixels wide or tall and displayed at 500 pixels wide or tall.
     
  8. You MAY change the color scheme of your individual album where your thumbnails are located by selecting the Properties field of the drop down menu.
     
  9. Albums that are EMPTY for over a week will be removed, but you may recreate another one at your leisure.
     
  10. Albums that are left UNTITLED, will be titled by a mod or admin, but you may change it at any time.
     
  11. If you are unsure about how to setup an album please email the Administrator (tech@zneart.com) for access to the Setup Basics Documentation.
     
  12. Commenting on images is allowed, if you are logged in, however, again, please be courteous and abide by the ZNE terms of service.
     
  13. Moderators and the Administrator have the right to make modifications to titles, descriptions, HTML, and/or images if necessary.

Thank you!
