Recent Forum Changes.
 
Evening/Morning all,
Since recent forum changes, i find it virtually impossinle to get to a members gallery Via the forum postings. I often read into interesting views/behind the scenes forum postings then click said members name and view gallery. Now it seems, you can't get to a gallery even through a profile, you will have to find an image by chosen member and open that and then click the gallery icon to open it, seems a bit long and not very photo gallery like!?

Views?
:confused:

I am having the same problems so will ask admin if that feature can be put back.

Thanks Christine, I was about to endorse Jamie's comment but I'm sure you can fix it.

jamieZ740 03-04-09 17:20

As Jamie says and I am missing that easy get to a gallery feature more than ever as I try to catch up from my long time away.

When going the route of members gallerys I hit another snag in that if there is no thumbnail as in the attatched screengrab ( see Rudra and Robski ), then you can only go to User profile and most recent images. Still no way to get from there to their gallery even via opening an image as there used to be.

Don

PS : Lots of my favs in the same catagory as in the screenshot. :(

Still not sure whats happening with this problem but to get to a users gallery I just press on the link at the side of an open photo.

andy153 14-04-09 17:28

Hi Christine, that's fine from the Gallery, but didn't we have a way of getting to a members Gallery from this forum page?

Saphire 14-04-09 17:58

Yes I think we did I am sure we used to just click on the profile pic and a drop down box would give you options to go to the users gallery. We have asked admin but not sure whether this new software has that option.

Birdsnapper 14-04-09 17:59

Andy, Try 'Gallery', 'Members' Gallery', choose a member and click on the photo. I've just tried it and it works.

Thank Mike, this seems to be a relatively painless way around the problem. Pick the 1st letter of the member's name from the alphabetical list at the top, sort the results in alphabetical order...... find the member.

andy153 14-04-09 19:25

Hi Mike, yes you can do that - but not everyone has a photo to click on and without one your sunk apart from going through the index. The original point from this thread was that we used to be able to get to see a members gallery from the Forum, now HOME page, which we no longer seem to be able to do.

Birdsnapper 14-04-09 22:24

Andy, perhaps I'm missing something, but no photo to click on surely means no photos, therefore no gallery.
It took me just four clicks from Home page to seeing your gallery.
Update: Sorry Andy, I've just noticed that some forum member's galleries do not have photos.

jamieZ740 15-04-09 06:47

but at one point, if i wanted to, i could click your name and see your gallery.
it was an action i used and there seemed no reason to remove it!

Andy, this was the case under the old system too. No photos means no gallery postings regardless of how you get there. Use the Member's Gallery alphabetical search, it's not difficult.

andy153 15-04-09 20:36

Duncan, the member I clicked when testing was Christine - "Saphire" Having gone the way as described above there was no thumbnail to click on and I KNOW she has a cracking gallery ??? :confused: :eek:

Andy 15-04-09 22:09

I don't believe there is any technical reason why a link to your gallery uploads shouldn't be accessed via the drop-down menu when you click on a members username in a forum post.... so I'll try to get our tech to do something.
As for having a link in your forum profile, I'm not so sure.

cheers,
Andy

There should now be links to people's galleries (and gallery profiles) in both the drop down menu you get when you click a user's name on a post and in the last 'sidebar' block on a user's profile.

Thanks,

Ollie

Thanks Ollie, it works well.

andy153 16-04-09 09:42

Thanks Ollie and all you tech boys, and thanks Mods It all works for me now.

jamieZ740 16-04-09 14:08

swish, easy peasy :)

Don Hoey 16-04-09 16:45

Another vote of thanks to Andy and Ollie from me.
