About the FF Gallery...

[godfry n. glad]

Well, I'm getting marginally more adept at this stuff...

In loading some of my Kyoto pictures, I note that each time it allows you to select three files...why is that? Can one post up three images together?

Then, I thought I'd rotated the Daikokuji garden path image, but when it uploaded it still needed the 90 degree clockwise rotation. I don't see any editing capabilities... Did I miss them? Or, are there none? (I'm betting on the former, given my awe-inspiring ineptitude on these matters.)

Three images at a time, yessir, but then you'll have the same title and description for each. Of course, you could always upload three at a time and then edit the titles and descriptions should you feel the urge.

You're doing great, godfry. It's really not obvious unless you're used to the way vBulletin arranges its options.

What you're looking for is the "Image Tools" dropdown. Click on a picture and look in the upper right corner. Click on "Image Tools" and "Edit Image" to make any changes you wish, including rotating or flipping the picture. :)

Did that work for you?

[godfry n. glad]

Nope.

I got right to the "Make Changes" button and got this:

godfry n. glad, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

Don't you just love dealing with the inept? :lostmap:

I've got a Cletus, The Slack-Jawed Yokel smilie --> http://img239.exs.cx/img239/5738/cletus19pk.gif

[livius drusus]

That's totally weird, godfry. I double checked the permissions and anyone should be able to edit their own images. If you don't mind, could you try to edit some of the text -- maybe in the description -- to see if you get the same permission error?

I tried to rotate the pic for you using the built in feature and it just made it look freaky, so I ended up saving it to my hard drive, rotating it in my pic editing software and uploading it again.

IOW, it's not you, it's the software.

Why, so do we. :cletus:

;)

[Crumb]

So why isn't there a link to the gallery in the little "Forum Jump" drop down box?

[livius drusus]

Good question. The answer is probably something along the lines of it didn't occur to us to add one there. :giggle: Let's see if vm can make it happen.

Heh. I didn't look. I assumed godfry had scoured the smilie gallery from stem to stern. That's what I get for assuming. :D

[Crumb]

I hope you don't mind me cluttering-up the gallery with my pics. I think I have gone a little nuts.

Oh well off to add another one...

[livius drusus]

It's not clutter; it's content, and a good thing too.

Stem to stern, eh? Not likely. I used the search tool. I put in "hick" and got a lot of chicken stuff. I put in "goober", "gomer", "hayseed" and "doofus", and got nuthin'....I didn't think of "yokel".

Mebbe Cletus jes' needs some more cross-referencing....

[Crumb]

Hmm, it seems that posts in the gallery don't count towards my post count. Is this how it is supposed to be? I feel like I am being robbed here! :glare:

[viscousmemories]

There are no posts in the gallery, only replies. :giggle:

[Crumb]

Could you please explain what the difference is? becuase there really isn't one. :P

[Beth]

Well, I like this gallery. Alot. So much better than the blasted gallery in Spymac. No one grades me for my looks or picture quality and no one has yet to give me horible critiques like, "erm,...so girl next door.", or "crappy picture quality so I rate it a one star" This one is nicer and more cozey- no pressure and hopefully no insults will be made in regard to pictures.

[Beth]

Could you please explain what the difference is? becuase there really isn't one. :PYes there is, silly. I'll just let some other genius 'splain it. :P

I'll have you know that I have had to mightily restrain my inner jerkhole to keep from posting just such obnoxious replies to the pictures after reading this post.

Not because I like criticizing people, but I like pushing their buttons.

Yes, I'm a jerk.

[livius drusus]

We were thinking that the difference is that postcounts count posts in the forum, donchaknow. Replies to journal entries don't count as posts, so consistency would indicate that Gallery and Links replies don't count either.

IOW, your slutting will only count here, m'dear. :P

:mememe:Yay! I used some new smilies!

That's just wrong. Now I'm really glad we disabled the ratings. Our thought process was that it would either encourage people to rate highly just so as not to be meanies, or make people feel bad by comparison with someone who got a high rating, or worse: serve as an outlet for people's inner jerks (:cough: eldar :cough: ).

You can post whatever you want to mine Eldar. I can take it. :knight:

(How come a search for "armor" doesn't bring up this guy: :knight: ?)

[livius drusus]

godfry, I've opened a support ticket to see if Brian can fix the permissions bug. If you or anyone needs any edits in the meantime, vm and I would be glad to do the honors.

Oh, and I added hick, redneck and goober to Cletus' keywords. :)

[livius drusus]

(How come a search for "armor" doesn't bring up this guy: :knight: ?)
Cause I spelled it armour. :giggle:

[Crumb]

Cause I spelled it armour.

:shakefist:

[Beth]

:shakefist:
:hysteric:

[livius drusus]

/me giggles

Don't worry; I added your weirdo spelling to the keywords.

[Beth]

I only laughed to hide the fact I probably would have done the same thing.:naughty:

[Crumb]

which thing?

[Beth]

Searched under the correct, US spelling. :P :D

[Crumb]

Oh good, I was getting ready to shake my viscious fist in your direction.

[godfry n. glad]

Searched under the correct, US spelling. :P :D

Wait...wait...It IS spelled that way in the US!

The thing is, it's usually in reference to hot dogs, ham and processed canned meat.

I'll leave it to your imagination as to where liv's mind was when she input that search term.

:wink: :wink: :nudge: :nudge: ...if you know what I mean.

[Crumb]

Am I the only one who gets a blank little window when I click the smilie search button when trying to reply to a gallery photo? If not then this is a real problem. :whup:

If so, I guess it is just my problem... :(

[viscousmemories]

You're not alone, Mr. Crumb. We have agents on the ground investigating this.

[Crumb]

The bees are in the hive. I repeat, the bees are in the hive! :spy:

[livius drusus]

Nope.

Okay godfry, Brian found a little nasty in a file and corrected it. Try editing your images now.

Great job, vm and your brilliant agents! :thumbup:

Yabba dabba doo. :pbjnana:

[Crumb]

If you look at the new replies here (http://www.freethought-forum.com/forum/gallery/browseimages.php?do=newposts) you may notice that the picture warrenly posted says I, Crumb, made the last reply. If you click on it though, you will see that warrenly actually made the last reply. :eh?:

What's up with that?

[Dingfod]

BFD, you piece of cake debris. Dennis Franz, indeed.

That there's whatchu call an oddity. I can't see any reason for it.

[Crumb]

Well as long as you got a name for it, that's all I need. :thumbsup:

[godfry n. glad]

"It"? I thought he was referring to you, Crumb. :wink:

[Crumb]

:sadcheer:

[viscousmemories]

:laugh:

[Crumb]

Is there any reason not to reactivate the three newest and three random pictures in the gallery?

[livius drusus]

Hmm... Well, I suppose not. We can always turn it off again if somebody posts something really repulsive.

[Crumb]

:yup:
