Better Picture or Gallery Section?
Toprivetguns - 29/10/09 at 02:44 PM

Hi guys,

Let me first start by saying im no computer Wizz! What you have done with this website is amazing and all the hardwork by the main people is fantastic.

I was just curious if there could be a better way of viewing everyone's photo's. At the moment you can only go to the photo archive, this is right yes?

Im not sure about everyone else, but I learn a hell of lot from pictures, diagrams etc. Would we be able to have a gallery and search engine that work together?

For example, rather than posting a Query in the MK forum i.e '' I need gear linkage pictures''. Merely have a search facillity that can find all photos from each members profile with those words included. Most members label there photo's quite well so this is an added benefit.

So am I asking to much? Ideally im asking for the same setup as google. You click images, then type in your search.

Im just putting the idea out there, however I could see it really working well. All input good or bad welcome!

Cheers

I think that would be a great idea. Iv spent hours searching for specific pictures but not being able to find what i want.
I believe it has been discussed before though.

Well call it a revival post, lol. Id be happy to contribute more gold or silver to the delightful person who could create this. Just think it would be highly beneficial.

Like I said its a fantastic website and im hoping this would only encourage the site to grow more

I have raised this issue at the past. It is difficult to ask everyone to put a description on a picture.

What would be nice though, would be to have a next button when you look at a picture instead of going back and forward.

Having the next button would be great as well but i think one of the best additions would be to be able to view the photos in thumbnail version . So someones album could be seen all at once as opposed to the current form where you view the whole album in text.....

such as...

I think this would be a great idea. But like you I haven't got any idea how much work it would be to create this function.

Also, I would like to have an easier access to my own photo maps. For example by shortlink button which appears when you have logged on. At this time I need to scroll all over the place to get there.
