Christian Photographers Community

Im going humble here.... I need to use this site more. I havent been back since the software change and lost in the new procedures. Could you possible help. I was going to post some work but cant even find wher to create a new gallery since i lost my previous one.

Thanks, Brian

Hi Brian...

So good to see you.   Yes, we've got a new Gallery Software and if you click on the word "Gallery" at the top, that will take you there.

You'll see "Album: Members Albums".

http://www.christianphotographers.com/community/v/users/

When you click on that (link above), on the left sidebar, you'll see, "Add Album" 

Call your album something like "Brianw's Photos" and then you'll have it.

On that left sidebar too, you'll see some random photos of photos in the gallery.

As for the forum, we'd love to see you drop in during the week at our little "Coffee Shop" which we call "Thoughts for the Week"  We start it afresh each Sunday evening and use it to keep in touch with the other members.  And there's always room for more.

We have a new Photo Challenge starting.  The topic is "Weathered".  Sounds like it could be a good one.

So, pull up a chair, Brian, and enjoy our little site!

Talk to you soon!

Pat

I am sorry, but I agree with his comments.  This site is not easy to use.  I tried to find the gallery the other day, but couldn't.  There is not pick to go there, anywhere.  And, if you log onto the home page, there are no obvious picks to get into the gallery.  It could use a critical eye.  Sorry.

Actually, I just realized that I couldn't find my gallery because there was nothing in my gallery.  But I had put several images there in the past.  Do they get purged due to inactivity?  I hope they were just deleted.  I just added a few images so that it wasn't emply.  What is worse than an emply gallery on a photography site.

I think that you lost your images because the album software on this site was replaced with a newer one.  Hope that helps!  Oh, and that picture of the sunset is great!

Yes, Gabe is correct.  We notified all members three times over the past year and we put up a topic here in the forum saying that we were contemplating changing our Gallery Software.

Finally, the day came and Oldiesmann deleted our old gallery and installed the new one. 

Across the top are buttons and the Gallery button is showing there.  Maybe we'll get it moved closer to the left?

On the main page of the site ( http://christianphotographers.com ) we have a link to the "Forums" because you can get to the gallery from there and you have to be a member of the site (which you do on the Forums) before posting in the Gallery. 

We are contemplating doing a major overhaul of our Main page and the many files on it but that's a project for the winter. 

I'm a member of many photography sites and some are difficult to navigate but those that use SMF forum software are a breeze and this one uses that.

Please continue, though, to let us know if you are having difficulties.

Thank you so much for your comments.

Good idea, Pat. Is that hard to do?

I'll ask Oldiesmann.
