John,

You never ceased to amaze me what you can do.   We're Not Worthy!

John, I'm with Shujen.  The gallery is a wonderful showcase for our volunteers' impressive efforts, and it's also a means by which we can admire the restorations that weren't posted on the forum before.  I love it and plan to spend a lot of time appreciating what OPR has accomplished in less than 2 years.  You've got a hit with this one!

Cheers,

Glenna

Hi John

Sorry, but I somehow managed to get my last before-and-after loaded twice – just in case you're wondering why it's there more than once.  No difference. Brain fart!

Uploading a second B&A I noticed an overview of what I had already posted AND a "edit" button. This makes me wonder if I can replace the tiny 600 (when the gallery was more restricted a few days ago) by a bit wider 1000 to get a better view of the changes. I mean only replacing the B&A without changing the title or comments. This might be a usefull feature in case somebody accidently uploads the wrong picture as well.

Atlantis,

Yes, it is possible to replace the image files.  Nothing is impossible with John mastering the website.

Can you do me a favor and try to replace one of your pictures?  I'd like to see if it comes up in the 'approve' list or if it just gives you open accesss to update images.

Thanks!

I did. Above the old picture in editing mode it says "Your picture will not appear in the gallery to others until it is approved." And after choosing the bigger B&A it says "Pending bladibla ..." So yes, this is good because it's a treshold to prevent us uploading anything we like when changing an approved photo Too Funny

John,

I did replace all my pictures yesterday and they all went to "pending approval" state.   When they came out of approval, they retained the original dates and comments and all.  Great job!


And I am with Kiska.  Mad

No doubt about it John is a whizz on this IT stuff. We're Not Worthy!
Now all we have to do is find a way to sneak him in to the OPR distributors laboratory so he can work his magic on the spot & grunge machine and convert it to produce pristine images. Too Funny

John,
I mistakenly resubmitted the same image twice under the edit protocol.
The image is titled "Portrait of a lady". Please delete one of the images.
Thanks for your help!

all set.

I'm glad everyone is excited about the gallery.  I think it's important to note that while I may have plugged it in, it is really powered by the incredible human spirit that never ceases to amaze me when I think about the time and love that goes into each one of these pictures.  So while there have been some kind words said about me here, at the end of the day it is really all of YOU who are 'whizzes' and 'amazing' at what is clear to me to be the coolest not-for-profit organization that I've ever seen.

We're Not Worthy! right back at ya

Suddenly I see huge stars appearing under the photo's. If we really want or need  rating/ranking can the stars please be smaller. They take away the attention the photo's should have in my opinion. If I had it my way I would take out the rating/ranking completely because I don't think that's what the gallery is about. I think statistics "times viewed" and comments are more than enough. It's a showcase not a competition.

I love the gallery!  Thumbs up I do have to agree with Atlantis on the stars making it more of a competition than a showcase. It tends to give a lopsided view of whose work is the most valued. I would have nothing against voting on the Forum for a favorite occasionally.
