    Good point! I expect that's it.

    Has anyone spotted a way of being notified when someone leaves a comment on one of your photos?

    I was asked when I uploaded my photos if I wished to be notified of new comments.

    There's also a "Receive Email Updates" link below photos which will keep you up-to-date.

    Also, if you go to your profile page, I think there might be further options.

    Haven't found a way to be notified of comments to any of your pictures, or to the whole system...

    Yes - that tiggerbabe photo was one of the first ones up on the site, and drathzel and myself had both rated it (we're both very efficient at sucking up to the moderators, you see ).

    Minor request regarding names of sections Franck - maybe the "Great Photos" section could be renamed as "General" or "Non-Dance"? We're all reasonably self-effacing here (despite being dancers ) and would rather let other folks decide whether a photo is "Great" or not. And it prejudices the viewer a bit - like the Brockian Ultra Cricket phenomenon in reverse, really.

    Another thought - can we have a "Competition" area? people post photos for X duration and the one with the best score wins? - could theme them every month etc.
    Just a thought.

    edit - wow - that was quick

    I aim to please!

    I have now added a 'Picture Challenge' category. You can add one photo per week to the contest, and winners will be announced weekly on the Forum. Once the week is over, I'll move the photos to the Challenge Archive where they'll still be viewable / votable, to make room for the new weekly offerings.

    If weekly is too much, I'll change it to monthly, depending on response.

    I have already uploaded a picture, and instead of a rating, you get to vote for your favourite picture.
    Franck.

    There's an A.P.P. for that!

    Won't that pose a problem? Unless everyone votes on a specific day once all the photos are in or everyone uploads on a specific day - otherwise how can you vote on the best when you haven't seen the rest?

    Ah, yes, good point!

    Right, I have disabled voting until Saturday midnight to give everyone a chance to upload their photos. Voting will start on Sunday until Tuesday midnight, when a new round will start. (I'm happy to change the above if more sensible suggestions are made )

    nope, no more suggestions - this is a perfect idea.

    I like the 'theme' idea. The winner of the previous week should suggest the one for the next week.

    Thanks for the ideas and suggestions.
    As I started this week's contribution, the theme will be 'Close-ups'... Any object, person, animal pictured close-up...
    The winner as decided by next Tuesday can pick next week's theme.
    Franck.

    There's an A.P.P. for that!

    I know that some sections of the forum are only viewable to members.

    Is the Photo Gallery viewable only to full forum members?
    Or can guests view it also?

    I don't like the idea of posting photos that the whole wide world can see . . . .

    If you don't like posting photos for everybody to see, then don't post any. However, I think it would be a great idea to put maybe put another photo section in the gallery that full members only can view.

    I think you mean "members and registered users". I'm not currently a Forum member, but I can see all bar the private user areas of the forum (like the Taxi dancer's forum etc.)

    At the moment, all Gallery areas are only viewable by registered members (i.e. anyone with a forum name and valid email address). That does not make the photos private as anyone can register at any time without limitation (except a valid email address) but it means the photos won't be indexed in search engines etc...
    I will have 2 areas that are visible to guests / visitors: The Ceroc Scotland events photos and a general area (which will clearly marked public) for anyone wanting to show their photos to the world
    There is no difference between a registered forum member and a Silver member in terms of viewing photos, though there will be limits on uploading / features at some stage.

    Finally, for those that want extra privacy, you can create a private photo album which is password protected, so only you and people you share the password with can view the pictures (oh and moderators / admins too).

    I hope this clarifies things.
    Franck.

    There's an A.P.P. for that!
