The Silent Auction Pro™ software allows uploading of images to promote and enhance an event, including photos of donation and auction items, group logos, sponsor and contact logos, and promotional banners. Silent Auction Pro users get the most out of these uploaded images by using the optional AuctionOnline™ and AuctionPromoter™ components.
A group administrator can upload a group logo at the time the group is created or by editing the group at a later time. Refer to Creating a Group and Editing a Group help topics for more information. Photos of donations are uploaded when entering or editing a donation. See Entering Donations.
Logos should be in GIF or JPEG format and no larger than 300 pixels square. The software will automatically reduce the size of an image, but upload time is faster if the image is smaller to begin with. Reducing the file size before uploading an image also minimizes adverse effects from improper scaling. Photos are not displayed in high-resolution.
For the best presentation, group logos and company logos should be square or close to square. Images that are significantly wider than they are high will negatively impact the formatting of pages on which they are presented. The software will issue a warning if the image is more than twice as wide as it is high. If you are still seeing the old image after replacing an old image with a new one, it is likely that your browser is pulling the old image from the browser cache rather than from the website. Hold the <Shift> key down and click the refresh/reload button (or hit F5) to flush the cache and make your browser load the content from the website. The refresh button is normally located just right of the browser website field toward the top of the browser. To upload a group logo
