Photoclubalpha

The main Photoclubalpha site has been given a new template and some new features. The old template was difficult to update and had known problem with text wrap/margins. The new one is about as up to date as I can find, and is fully configurable. It does take time to make the adjustments which can refine the look of the site, I have been able to spare a couple of hours to get it moving.

Hi David - I like the update to the main site. The new layout makes navigating easier and I like the photos on the banner / heading. Are any of those Nex panoramas? (I also listened to, and appreciated, the 9/11 song you uploaded - very poignant at the moment.)

No NEX panoramas so far, I can add images easily to the rotation. Most of these are Shirley's because for some reason she had more images which suited letterbox crops.

If anyone wants to send me images for consideration, make them 1080 x 150 pixels in size, and add a reasonable sized signature/credit/watermark (not something huge!). I just have to upload them to the folder, can use as many images as we like.

I will add NEX pans in due course (got to take a decent one first...) and probably identify them. The shots up now include film scans as well as digital.

I like the look too.

hi David,

No fix for the galleries yet?
last upload is from Jan 27, 2008 -I uploaded some pics a couple of weeks ago because I wanted to insert them on a post and I was not on my computer(s), so no FTP for using my own hosting, but I got a "you need approval" message and the pics are not there (I found another solutions since then)

Regards

I think the entire gallery system needs removing and replacing. I can't fix it because it was originally 'bridged' to the Wordpress Forum database and when PhP BB3.0 appeared, the bridging system broke. They have never bothered to repair it so simply removing the gallery and installing a modern alternative may be the best solution - starting again.

A new gallery will be integrated to the forum? If you find the Gallery useful, I think re-start from scratch is not that bad

OK, before making any drastic decision I have updated cleanly to the latest version and everything officially checks out.

Suggest you see if it's working at your end.

David, to which address should I send them?

[email protected] will do fine

sRGB 'Save for Web' high quality is what I'm using

Well, it doesn't recognize my login/pass (it is not liked anymore to the forum/site account) and my pictures are now under "Unknown coward's" (http://www.photoclubalpha.com/coppermin ... ?cat=10039)

Whatever... if you can erase that gallery, I'll start again.
