Announcing... A gallery of photos here at Susan's

[Melissa]

Susan, is there a setting to make it so images over a certain size are resized on upload?  Some of those images are HUGE and take forever to load as well as a lot of server space.  I know that's a common feature as I have run my own gallery website and programmed this feature into another.

Great idea.  Thanks to all who had a hand in it.

I think that the photo gallery was a good idea, and thank you to all who made it happen.  I even posted a few pictures myself (well, a photo and a drawing, actually).

How is it that some photos seem to automatically create a thread about themselves when posted?

I know, I noticed that too.  I mean I wouldn't like to create a new thread about each member of my family when I post a picture under the gallery.

If you post in your member gallery no picture posted thread should be created. If you post in the site Categories then a thread is created. You are welcome to post anything that you want to share with the other users of this site. I have asked for a feature which would allow galleries and pictures to be designated buddy's only. It will be out in the next version sometime down the road.

Susan I really like the photo gallery but is there a way to not have them show up in the  unread posting since last visitlinks. Say maybe have Show new photos since last visit link instead.
Because of the photo the unread list gets real long and when I only have a small amount of time I'd rather not wade thru all of them to find postings.

Thanks Jillieann/JR... I was going to ask the same question but in a slightly different way and maybe it's best asked elsewhere but I'll try here first:

Is there a way of excluding specific forums from this search (https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php?action=unread) perhaps by adding a modifier of some kind. I'm more accustomed to VBulletin software where you can do something like that fairly easily.

You can add the image forum to your ignore boards list in your profile.

^*giggle* I was just going to say that.
When looking at your profile:

One the left you should see a "Ignore Boards Preferences" link, select that.

On that page you wish to place a check mark by the "Images" item.

Then you press the "Change profile" button and that is all there is to that.

If you ever wish to unignore a board, simply uncheck the option.

I can't seem to find that option in my settings, only the option to ignore other members, but I have had a glass of wine or two...

Don't get me wrong: I don't want to ignore the board in its entirety, as I enjoy looking at other's pics and hope to post some of mine at some point. Just would like to exclude it from searches at the mo.

Hey there Stormy.

Just go to your profile and look on the left side of the window and under "Modify Profile" you should see a heading called "Ignor Boards Preferences".  Select this and you will be able to select the board(s) you wish to ignore.

Not there as far as I can see. Maybe it's a post-count or a mod privilege thing...
Still, it's not that important to derail the thread over. Thanks, though.

Back to the wine... ah haha >

Hmmmm strange.

Strange... I remember seeing it months and months ago (never did use it) but it seems to have disappeared from my control panel.

Ah, so I'm not going completely mad then. Merry Xmas to you, my inverted friend.

This what mine looks like:

I re-added the  permission to all member groups. See if you see it now.

[umop ap!sdn]

I see it I see it! Thank you kindly, Susan.

(Wow, we really have a lot of fora here!)

[Jillieann Rose]

Thanks Susan. But if I say if I ignore a board it will be inaccessible to me. I still want to be able to enjoy the images. So I don't think that will work.
I just would rather it not clog my unread postings link.
