Attached Link: Galleries

• Thumbnail Optional: If you don't upload a thumbnail a thumbnail will automatically be generated for you.
• Art Charts: These will include favorite artists, vendor credits and images. This interactive feature will replace the stale Hot20 system. The information will be gathered from member's favorites lists, found in the “My Favorites” link.
• Gallery Patrol: This is will be a special place where all member's can report possible TOS violations right on the same page as the image.

Btw;

Members who have the nudity set in their profile to not be shown will now see the "Content Advisory" thumbnail. Yet...if you do go ahead and click on it, you will see the nudity so if you don't want to see it, don't click on the "Content Advisory" thumbs!

Just fyi.

not sure why, but when I click your galleries link I get a

page cannot be displayed message. hmmm

ok the link at the top of the page worked, thank god I was alone in the room, I think maybe I shoule be clicking that nudity option, I'm just a bit pissed that they aren't strict about the thumbnail nudity. Friggin cats everywhere!

I'm getting the nudity (boy am I getting nudity, in fact, I'm hardly getting anything else) in the thumbnails..gad, I feel like a gynocologist..I've double-checked my nudity settings, and they're set to block. Is it a Firefox thing?
Hope they fix it, or I'll have to leave off the lunchtime browsing..:|

If you make a favourites / bookmark link to the "what's new" section and use that as your entry to the galleries instead of the page Renderosity want you to enter at, you'll be a lot less troubled by nudity. Default displaying of most viewed / most commented sections is going to result in exposure to Poser porn for everyone whose nudity blocks aren't working.

Here's the new link for going straight to the "Bryce Gallery, What's New"

Thank you AS for the direct link to Bryce

Question--- if R'osity generates a thumb, I'm assuming it is a reduced full image.  If that is the case then when an upload doesn't flag nudity or violence the the created thumb will show it all, no matter what member options were selected by a viewer, right?  Or is going to be just some generic thumb?

 I am proud that the Bryce community self controls itself so much better at this than some of the other galleries.

I posted at community forum that member's most recent viewed needs to be deleted.  I'm surprised the rights to privacy issue hasn't been infringed upon.

PJF gallery CSS works nice (IMHO) - now a sticky in community

Das is Goot!

"If that is the case then when an upload doesn't flag nudity or violence then the created thumb will show it all, no matter what member options were selected by a viewer, right?"

I am assuming so, yes. But, this would be the same situation that has happened countless times before before the PHP switchover. Which is why everyday the Mods go through their respective forums, checking to make sure each image falls in line with the TOS, if it doesn't we flip the nudity/violence tag.

Pfff. I needed to dig around to create a bookmark to my gallery.

Yup, all the links have changed.

That's what I expected. But I didn't see the link to the gallery itself on my artist page and had to do a search on my name to get the link down at the bottom.

There should (now) be a link at the top of (every?) gallery page to your own gallery.

i.e.  -  [my gallery]

Holy **** Batman...lol. Have you checked out the bottom of the page in all your own galleries?

The personal stats are crazy.

"90 members have added AgentSmith to their favorite artists lists"

Had no idea....

Having witnessed the 'new-look' PHP galleries, and, after much cursing, thrashing around, and general throwing of furniture, I've come to compile this short list of trifling concerns:

1. When I click a gallery thumbnail image I expect to be taken to a page showing the image in FULL, opposed to yet another reduced eye-squinting offering! It's also the most pointless of implementations as the 'zoomed out' image that you see load is no quicker than loading the image in full, since when you click this smaller image it immediately opens the full image already completely loaded. Further still, the full image shown in the separate pop-up window is smaller than the image it contains, and thus requires yet more stuffing around to resize the window. Please, please, please do away with this most antagonising of new features! - if -only- this feature - as it only serves to frustrate, and completely ruins the whole gallery-viewing experience.

2. When viewing an image on it's own page, the image title should ideally be centered above it (as per old forum.)

3. The artist's caption for their image should not appear in a separate box below, but instead sit directly underneath and within the same space as the image, so as to better associate the caption with the artwork, and also to avoid it looking like one of the feedback comments. (again, as per old forum.)

I'm not too fussed about 2 and 3, but concern number 1 is just unacceptable.

Just in correction to concern number 1 above:
 ... Further still, the separate pop-up window which contains the full image is smaller than the image itself, and thus requires yet more stuffing around to resize the window in order to view the image in its entirety. ...

At that point I just click the maximize window icon, and midlle-button mouse scroll if need be.

But, I do understand your point.  :o)

ok..solved part of the problem. I went into my preferences (once I puzzled out where they are...now..;), and resubmitted after double-checking the flags. The more egregious pics are gone away, but it still defaults to 'most viewed'... Still getting the occasional 'woop der it is'.sigh...;)

.Welp, I'll just have to check galleries at home (as much as I like Bryce, I also stop by 3d max, Vue, Rhino, yada yada..;). But at least I'm still gainfully employed..;)

that still leaves the freebies and forums, so it's not a total loss..;)

A dumb question that I really don't need an answer to cause I probably won't visit the galleries in general anyhow, buttttt......
            I get a page that shows new images but no next page button. And when I go to chose a gallery there is no option to just view all that have been recently posted or am I missing something here? And if I'm  not making sense, what I'm saying is ... old way, you saw all the posts from recent going to old, which change quite frequently. But you could keep clicking to see older and older. Now it seems you are stuck with just one page of those type. So you have to know what gallery you want to see someone's work in. Am I making any sense or have I gone off the deep end of sanity again?

:P

I get a page that shows new images but no next page button

The main Gallery link page shows 18 "What's New" images, and that's it. No "Next link. I'm sure this is to help strain on the server, as a lot of people go to that first "Gallery" page but after that first page, they go to the area that interests them, and that first page request would look at "What's New" for 15 days, now it just looks at 18 images.

And when I go to chose a gallery there is no option to just view all that have been recently posted.

That's what it should default to, and also actually there are still links to view;

[what's new] [most viewed] [most commented] [best ratings] [by artist]

Those links are right under the "browse by section" drop down list, and the page numbers to keep viewing previous images should be at the top and the bottom of the table that holds the thumbnails.

Hope that helps!

AS, you have IMs, err, site mails lol

scuse me I can't even get into the galleries today, now  nor  im.s...keeps timing out. Was alright yesterday.

Yeah, same here now.

Guess thats what happens when you name your server after a sword that gets thrown in the lake at the end of the story.

OK I can get back into the galleries now, but who the hell generated the stats.....can you tell me how an image can be shown as having had 2 views and yet  has 10 comments?

8 of them commented with their eyes closed. :^)

AS,

I thought I already had you on my list - so you'll now have 91.:sneaky:

Mind you things are still not working right - I added you to my list and then tried to go from your homepage (difficulty in finding the 'add this artist' option so I opened another tab with your R'osity homepage before remembering that you need an individual image open to find that option - silly that) to your Gallery by clicking on the AgentSmith's gallery link on that page... I got the "What's new" page...

Also your "proud to be featured on" thingie doesn't show up.

Just for when you have time to sort out your own stuff with all the hassle of Rosity's change-over.

I was actually pleasantly surprised by the new Galleries and just in time too, as I wanted to upload something after so long a break.

Greetings Everyone,

  For the new PHP look, I'm at a mix of feelings. The new features seem great. However, nagivation seems not to be very intuitive--I'm getting lost too easily.

A few gripes: 

Some of the layout seems very good. I really like how when I click my gallery page the overall layout of it is pretty nice, although for older images in my gallery the captions are a bit strange with "uploaded ago" having missing the number of days.

The "tool tips" that appears when the mouse moves over a thumbnail is annoying. It appears too quickly--would be nice to have a delay, or an option for a delay. I've done this in my own pages so I know it can be done.

  I guess what I am looking for is the ease of use as the old design had. Like the archives being right up there on top of the gallery.

--DM

Where the heck can I find the Bryce homepage?
And um, did it occur to those responsible for the new site design to include a direct link to the Bryce Gallery from the Bryce Forum (and vice-versa)?

I thought change would be for the better; apparently not.

Fed up,

I'll include direct links to the Community page and Gallery in the Forum header by tonight.

Bryce Community page;

No no, I spoke too soon.  I can't stand that nasty, irritating, in-the-way pop up window that obscures the images in the gallery... (big deep sigh)

I hope we can (later) talk them into having that pop-up as an option.

With I.E. the pop-up causes screen flash if you have the Image Toolbar activated.

Oh boy;
I think I will wait a few weeks before posting my humongous new piece of art... hopefully by then all the quirks and problems will be fixed.  From what I've seen today, the whole gallery experience is a bit awkward, slow, and frustrating, and some things were better before the change.
And how do I change that HORRIBLE GLARING EYE-BURNING WHITE BACKGROUND to a soothing neutral tone???!!!

max-, there are a few alternative colour schemes developed by members in this thread:

http://market.renderosity.com/mod/forumpro/showthread.php?thread_id=2652220

While we're on the topic of all things HORRIBLE, I read somewhere that it's possible to have gallery images display at full size on their detail page, as opposed to being spat in the face by the current shrunken image on offer. Could someone please inform me of how to achieve this so I can breathe easy, if not just to allow me release from my virtual padded cell.

Go to your gallery.  At the top, there should be a link to edit your options.  Click the link and once there, you'll see a list of options you can choose to tic your choice of how your gallery images show.

At least that's what I did and now they are no longer resized.  At least not from my computer.
Hope this helps.

Ah, new options at last - thanks for the info, ariannah.
I see the ability to 'zoom-in' still exists even when the images are already at 100%. What continues to irk me is that -other- people viewing artworks will unknowingly be staring at reduced images, unless they too alter their options (options that seem to exist haphazardly around the site, and in excrutiatingly difficult-to-find locations).

np, drekinn, glad I could help.
now if anyone has a road map to the new layout here they'd be willing to share......;)
