Add to friends Dear Fotki members!
We have been widening the range of our uploading tools. Now you can add photos to your albums via e-mail, too.
This uploading method is mainly meant for sending photos to Fotki website from mobile phones. You will appreciate its convenience!
To use this option, an e-mail address should be activated in the destination album:
- View album you intend email photos to and click either on “Add Photo(s)” in the Album Menu on the Member Panel, or on “add photos” in the line under album’s thumbnail.
- In both cases, it will prompt you to the “Add/Upload Photos” page.
- Click on the “Activate” button under ‘Send e-mail with picture to e-mail address:’ line.
An e-mail address like YourUserName+SomeCode@fotki.com will be generated after clicking. Use it to directly upload digital images to the album this address is assigned to. The address can be regenerated or deactivated at any time.
Assigning an e-mail address to each album is a separate procedure. Also, you can create a special album for emailed images.

The comments page has two pictures per comment now (the member icon and the photo for which the ocmment was made) and now I get dizzy everytime I look at it. It's too clogged.
Please make this an option so that we can turn it off. Thanks.

Works fine for me with Spring though...

Guest Steve Daily wrote: Thursday, April 14, 2005 1:41 PM I still have problems with sending photos from my Sprint Phone. Thought it might be the + character at first and then went around it by setting up an email address to auto-forward to my fotki album. I think the problem is that Sprint sends pictures embedded in HTML formatted e-mails. Because of this, Fotki's software probably can't recognize the picture. I'm making this assumption because if I send a photo to my account email, the fotki inbox doesn't recognize the individual photo in the email and allow me to easily move it to an album. Therefore, to fix this, Fotki would need to alter their software, or Sprint needs to send pictures using the same method as other carriers (however that is).

So, I created the contact in Outlook where I back up all my cell phone information. Did a synch and my cell phone has the proper address.
When in a car in England yesterday I took a couple of pictures and e-mailed them to an album that is just set up for cell phone pictures. worked great.

Robb Ware Photography wrote: Thursday, March 24, 2005 9:31 AM The "+" character is a legal SMTP character (I actually checked it out when this was first announced b/c I was thinking some SMTP services don't follow the rules (like some hate apostrophes "'" even though it is legal)). A hypen or underscore would probably be a better delimiter for this feature.

Raphael Pungin wrote: Monday, March 14, 2005 8:39 PM Also, did you know that you can email photos as attachments to <your login name>@fotki.com and then you can easily move the attached photos to your albums using Fotki web mail?
Also, try browsing fotki.com from your mobile phone/PDA browser. They actually have PDA edition of the website which is trimmed for the PDA/Mobile Phone browsers.
