Okay, we're launching a major new feature of the site in the Wakeboarder.com Media Center. We're going to give forum users the sneak peek and let you get using it while we finalize tweaking some things with it.

The Media Center allows users to upload and store their own pictures and video clips in member galleries, and also contribute pictures and videos to some set categories. Naturally, everyone can browse and look at these pictures and videos.

Here are some features of it:

- Upload your pictures and videos

- Photos can be rated

- You can send e-cards of photos

- Comments can be added to photos and videos

- You can select pictures to have your own calendar printed (does cost money for the calendar)

- Uses the same login as your forum login

- Comments and image/video uploads count on your forum post count

- You can create your own favorites gallery

Okay, so, to check it out and get going, here it is:

Have fun!

This should be good Wink

Will there be an agreed or prefered format for videos, or will it be a free for all?

Thanks Pat!

I'd probably stick with Quicktime and Windows Media Format for movies. Quicktime is probably the most universal.

Damn it, Quicktime is the only one I [url]can't[/url] use Sad

Ah well, I'm sure lots will be in Windows Media Very Happy

This site only gets better!

Seeing as I only ever use the web to go here, to wakepics and www.ruthlessreviews.com, I guess this new addition will mean I will rarely ever have to leave WB.com

I don't actually have a computer Exclamation

I access this site from work, and you cann't download programs onto the computers here. Windows media is all I have, although its a super-fast connection. Thats also why I can't post pics, don't have an avitar etc.

Well, I'm sure lots of people will post Windows Media movies. I'll probably post most of my movies in both formats.

Glad you guys like it, we're still tweaking things, but it should be fun.
