I just clicked on the random image that was showing on the home page which was a nice photo of a dog carrying an orange toy. I had to then log in to the gallery. So far, so good. But when I logged in, I was taken to the gallery home page and not the photo I clicked on. No problem, I thought, just find Rick's gallery, which I did - but no photo of the dog. In his gallery there is a file called dogs but there's just one photo in there and not the one I'd seen. I went back to the home page and clicked on the photo I wanted which was part of a group of pics from a dog show, none of which are showing up in his personal gallery. Errr.....why?  |

JK may explain this better Judith but my understanding is that it's possible to upload image to 'The Gallery' in a general sense rather than a specific user's (member's) album. Further, my understanding is that these stray images can be moved into their respective owners albums, or not at the owners choice. Perhaps due to the somewhat disjointed Forum/Gallery relationship users may not be aware their images are on the loose. The trouble is that the Forum and the Gallery are from different vendors with the obvious scope for a lack of a fully joined up connection, duct tape over the gaps? While the old forum had (many) drawbacks, at least the gallery worked, well sort of! |

Cookies and settings. The problem is with all the different browsers and their different security settings it all becomes a lottery of what happens between two independent softwares. |

Compared to the old forum we have very few user galleries (21) on this forum. I dont know if this is due to difficulty of use or less people showing photos. |

In my case unfriendly user access, both uploading, managing and viewing. As a cosseted Mac user, I'm not used (nor prepared to do battle) with the rough and tumble of the PC world and all it's issues.  If it doesn't 'just work', I tend to go do something else that does, 'just work' rather than...  |

I'm not sure its anything to do with the upload procedures. It's a reduced interest in showing our photos on this forum. In truth there were only a handful of active photo posters on the last forum in the later years. The number of galleries was a legacy from when members joined to get help with the new digital era. They shared images for comment and help. Now digital photography has matured, many of us are guilty? (myself included) of keeping our images to ourselves. You only have to look at the limited comments appearing on galleries to recognise there is disinterest. We never have had a critique on posted work. So, with no comments or discussion, It's hardly surprising that people are disinclined to brave the upload contortions. |

I tend to put my photos on my facebook photography page now. As you say, Eric, there isn't much comment or discussion here on actual photos unless they are in a thread and that has been discouraged. The good thing about facebook is people see something you've posted and can respond in a way that you see straight away with a "like" or a comment. Here is someone comments you don't see a notification unless you actually go and look for it. My facebook page, if anyone is interested: http://www.facebook.com/azaharphotography Anyone else got a page on FB? |

Hi Judith, My ex wife, who is an avid fb user, spent over an hour one day at my request, showing me all the 'benefits and useful features' of fb. I still can't see one. She still feeds her virtual pets, tends her virtual garden and plays her virtual games.  I guess I must be an unsociable old so-and-so. The only time I did really want to use it when I found a group contact from my convent kindergarten on a community website; I asked my daughter, who is also fb, to make contact with the convent group. They replied saying there were never any boys at that kindergarten, so I gave up. I still have the bills for tuition from 1952 signed by the Mother Superior, my daughter told them that but they didn't respond. How is that for closed minds. They asked for contact, I gave then an apparently unique one but was rebuffed. I am sure there were other boys there as well as me. |

Lol. Your ex obviously didn't show you the decent bits I'd fb!! I have no virtual garden, cafe or any other game. The sad people who play them were driving me nuts with game requests - then i discovered how to block them hehe. I do like seeing the photos posted on the heritage pages of the towns i grew up in though and making contact with people i knew way back (not as far back as kindergarten mind you!), and i network with artists around the world. There are also some great photography pages. And i have my own pages which get me work. Fb for me is a great one stop shop for a huge amount of info. It's a nice toy if you know how to filter out the crap. Unfortunately, a lot of people think the crap is great lol. |

I find Facebook very useful, without the games! (they are just time wasters) I can keep track and in contact with a much wider circle of friends than I would otherwise be able to especially in the UK now I'm in Australia. I find for organising events and knowing what's going on in my social group here it's superb and sharing photos with none photography friends it's the only medium where they will see the photos. |

Yes FB can take over because of it's very public image\accessabilty. I find that I have contact with smaller groups of contacts and like minded groups which does divert one. Posting things that interest specific folk via FB is much easier than the gallery e.g. a slide show from the village's Apple Day (https://vimeo.com/767942830) and archive pics from my news work over the last 30 plus years of local interest. A FB link might be an idea. I'll be your friend. |

This is invaluable as I can easily keep in touch with this dedicated group. I use one email address for this account setup. I also have another FB account (apparently this is not allowed by FB policy) that I set up with a different email account and I use for my cousins in Australia and other people but in fact I want to close this account but I need to move everyone to my other FB account. (It is a long and complicated story as to why I need to have two accounts!!). Since this is not meant to be allowed FB dont have a process for merging accounts. |
