Anyone else been caught out by photo upload ?

1 May 2006

Just wondered if anybody else has uploaded photo's destined for the private folder and returned to the site and found them in the public section ? It's happened to me twice now and although I caught them both the next day I'd rather they hadn't gone astray in the first place.
If it's just me then I guess I was doing something wrong redface

Talking of photos Rob, I have removed your avatar as it breaks the site rules. confused

No you just forgot to adjust the settings for them.... all photos when uploaded are by default publlically viewable. Immediately after uploading go into "My Photos" and untick the "public" box next to the pics you dont want visible to all and sundry

I was just in the middle of writing a couple of "Site Update" requests/suggestions.
Your suggestion doesn't always quite work DL.
We weren't fast enough yesterday and some still made it into the "Gallery Feature"

Just noticed the tiny update button in the middle of the photo's page. How's about making it larger ? and maybe putting another one at the bottom of the page.
I'd have thought it would have been more in keeping with the sensitive nature of the site to have pics going to your private folder by default.
Avatar ? I don't remember setting that, mind you I have got the memory of a goldfish lol.
I'll go and check the rules before resetting one then...

Yes from a user perspective it does seem more sensible to have the default set to private and allow users to change it to public wouldn't it?
I can't for the life of me think why it wasn't rolleyes

The bit I couldn't understand is that when I uploaded a picture, although I could un tick the public box and hit the private one really quick, I could not remove the "my profile" picture bullet.
So, I uploaded a blank image as my first picture. That then became my profile picture. And I followed that by a number of pictures that I have checked and double checked are not public images.
Is there another way of having pictures just private, and no pictures what so ever on public display?

here's another quirk ! Just noticed on my homepage it say's I have no Pics uploaded even though I have 8. It bugs me only because it says 0% like it's scored.
Jeez I sound like a right whinger ! lol.
So far I've been well impressed with this site, much better atmos than some of the others I've been on. I hope they manage to retain the "club" feel as they make all these changes.
