Yes you're right lol

I didn't count I must be honest. And I had 35+ tabs open at the time and couldn't stop what I was doing.

Says here how many there is in the sidebar...

Oh no,no problem I know you're busy. I just found it a bit difficult to navigate and wasn't sure if I'd done it correctly.

I think I'm able to import the old user albums. Trying now.

 

[Dan]

Yeah, it's working fine. Import at 56% taking a while but if you look in the Media area you'll see the photo's being added now. Some from 2008! Wow. This system should get them seen a lot lot more than the old one which was awkward and they weren't all in one place.

 

[Dan]

Okay, albums, pictures, comments and everything else is now imported and it's working fine and it didn't break the forum, which is always a bonus.

You might want to go check your settings for your albums and whatnot and make sure they're how you'd like them to be ongoing.

 

[Dan]

Everybody getting on okay with the albums?

Can non members view the media Dan?
Could we put a link from our own sites straight into our albums?

 

[Dan]

Yes.

You set the options of who you wish to view the albums. So you can have a public one. A members only one. And even one that's private and you individually pick members you wish to grant access to.

Then there are links you can copy and paste into forums or your own website (html and BB code) provided.

Excellent stuff, cheers!

You need to be on a PC to really see the difference here. But I'll link you to a couple of options.

If you link to the Media tab that's on your profile page, you kinda have your business details on your profile so they can get in touch if they like what they see. A call-to-action right there without them leaving the site. It shows the viewer a mixed bag of all your pictures, not in order of albums, and recent work first. Easy to flick through though if you don't have dozens of albums.

The other way is to just link to your albums homepage: http://www.tilersforums.com/media/users/3_fall.42603/albums

Or individual albums if your linking a customer by email and you specifically want them to see certain albums.

On the albums it shows 3 dot without a picture, how can I get a picture to show for a first glance...if you see what I mean.

You want to choose a photo from that category to use as the thumbnail for the category. I think the option is on the actual image page if you click edit.

 

[Old Mod]

If u open ur album and u can edit with tools stop and choose a photo to open with. If that is t complete nonsense haha

Click Change Thumbnail when viewing one of your images.
