Photo Gallery - Where's the old pic's?

[starbkjrus]

You didn't know Dee? I wonder how much Moderatorial discussion actually took place on this!

I think that many would go along with your preference. The galleries are doubtless a useful addition to X Marks but as a total replacement we will have to see if they achieve their intended aim.

Trefor, please understand that Glen, Bradley and I are specialty staff members - not moderators. That is a title I think I'd prefer to forego as it's a LOT of work for not a lot of thanks. We just blow trumpets, eye maps and check dinner menu's.

As far as a gallery goes, it's something that folks around here have been asking for since before I joined the forum. It takes quite a bit to set one up but it doesn't neccessarily mean that we have to not embed pics in posts anymore. It should be an enhancement. Just takes a bit of time to get set up. While at the office I have the luxury of having 5 environments that stretch from Development to Production supported by staffs in 4 datacenters XMarks does not have that advantage. That means that sometimes some of the "ugly" backend work has to get done right in view of everyone. That'll cause some bumps occaisionaly.

Hamish, I don't know if this will help you, but I am trying to learn how to use the new gallery and post what I am learning here.

I have not had any problem uploading pictures from photobucket, but all my pictures were under 500K which seems to be some kind of maximum limmit.

I only see my own album when I click on the album option. I don't know if anyone else has made an album yet.

I'm going to keep fooling with it. This is the only practical way for me to upload pictures, so I will keep working with it. I only have three kilt pictures though.

Everyone,

I do hope that all of you can find it in yourselves to give Mike and Hank a bit of time to sort things out. I realize that this is a new process and that change can be awkward.

I think that ultimately our new Gallery will be a wonderful component of X Marks the Scot. There are times when one doesn't wish to wade through multiple posts to find a picture. I know how much the photographs of Hamish, pdcorlis, Matt Newsome, and others assisted me in learning about kilted dress and developing my own personal style.

Our goal as staff is simple, to make XMTS the very best forum we can. To that end we try to add features both for you users and on the technical behind the scenes to better this place.

Your patience is appreciated

Cheers

CHANGE! ?????? Get out the torches & pitchforks! Man the lifeboats! Women & rubber chickens first!
(No, that's not right, where was I? Was I anywhere? Maybe I need a nap! Did I say that out loud?)
Never mind!

Rubber Chickens are always first...

...first to be thrown into the cold cold sea to float helplessly until the dark waters pull them down deep deep below...

I hope that Grant isn't still attached to his when that happens!

Patience is a virtue...

Not that I'm all that virtuous.

This is a welcome development and the conditions attached make perfect sense.

I am sure that the two picture related choices will compliment each other well.

Many thanks!
