Not that I know anyone so silly, of course.................

That can be configured via the admin panel.

But now a more pressing problem with Coppermine -- images loaded into public galleries can't be edited by anyone except for the admin!

Hm... don't make any typos...

Do we really need the public galleries? Seems kinda redundant - I think that using the galleries as member portfolios makes the most sense... if we want to do theme stuff, we can use the 'Photo Showcase' forum and hotlink to our portfolios... hmmm, does that work? Let's see...

Hey cool, seems to work... that means that the gallery doesn't make the showcase redundant - which would be a shame.

Actually, doing what I just did there is a little annoying... and I don't think you can do it if you use IE... I had to use two different URLs, one for the image itself and one for the link... The way I was able to get the image location is Netscape's handy 'Copy Image Location' function... IE has no such option... you have to look at the source code... hmm.

Nice photo!

Yeah, true true... I guess benefits of a gallery are that all the photos can be easily seen in one place, without having to traverse through forum structure.

Hm... portfolios...

Let me think some more...

Shuttertalk:

I tried to set up a gallery of Photos from a Bus Window (as you sugested). I uploaded some photos but they didn't show up and my gallery has no images. I pressed upload, chose some photos, clicked continue, got a successful upload prompt then nothing was uploaded. What am I doing wrong?

Hey don... after the successful upload message comes up, you have to click "continue", and that will allow you to assign the photos to albums. It's slightly confusing, I know, but you need to keep going until the end.

Hey I only just noticed this thread because it popped to the top.

I think we have a cool little WA community already

Hey ST if you need anymore space and can link from somewhere else let me know I have a few gig kicking around.

Yeah? That might be an option... let me see if coppermine can support images being stored on another server..
