Gallery

Can everyone now use the gallery, create albums etc.?
Seems OK from test profile.

Upload size limits set relatively high, but may have to trim soon.

(Really is rarely any need to have a picture online much beyond a few hundred K - will resurrect thread on this soonish and see if I can recall what Jacksun's brilliant linked-to free image resizer was called for those without more proprietary tools)

Good to see you smiling, Lesley!
We'll get there, mate, we'll get there.

 

Yep, Ian, I think that's about right - & If you look at someone's profile, you can go straight to that individual's uploaded images without having to wade through the mass - so it sort of replicates the old system while having a better overall way of sharing/viewing stuff.
Comments combined with the working notification system ought to bring things more to the fore which were a bit buried previously.

I need to organise the gallery better, more categories etc. so it isn't just a heap. But have not quite got my head around the settings yet. It's a little strangely laid out at the mo.


If anyone wants to suggest categories, please do - I may or may not take them up, but I'm sure the hive-mind can come up with better ideas than just me.

 

Battlefield,
Home front, (installations, defences, airfields,, barracks, bomb damage etc)
Museums,
Tankfest etc,

Armour, Vehicles, Aircraft, Weaponry

Kit (egs of Uniforms, badges, medals etc) -
or Militaria

Albums depicting Military Service (personal ones, relatives,)

Documents, War Diaries, service records, reports, recommendations, etc

Memorials
Cemeteries


Then and Now


Soviet

Axis


Apologies - How could I forget
RN & MN - Ships, submarines, ports

 

Sometimes... You're quite annoyingly switched on. :tongue:
Most of those make perfect sense to me - mind went completely blank.

I can see I have some more gallery-tidying to do!

 

Yes, sorry, should have said.

Bare bones are in - Categories added - please try and start albums within categories that have logical headings so we can concentrate stuff.

I see 'Members Albums' is a sort of special category in it's own right.
Don't worry if you've already posted stuff in one area and it'd fit better elsewhere - we can move stuff fairly easily.


Really am going to have to address file size per image.
Limits too high.


(BTW - Gallery looks rather good on the mobile skin.)

 

Think I've sorted the overall settings by usergroup for the gallery.

Still not 100% clear on how to select the right album/category when uploading, but doubtless we can thrash that out between us.

 

Checked it from Test profile with your Usergroups from here, on two different browsers, and it's displaying fine.

It might just be something as straightforward as clearing the browser cache, or logging out and back in again.

Next thought is if you both use the same/similar AV/Firewall software and 'something' is blocking the images.
Maybe an adblocker?

What browsers are you on, chaps?
Do the images in the top strip here display OK?
