SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted November 26, 2010 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted November 26, 2010 Hi there Just wanted a bit of feedback regarding photos uploaded to SnowJapan. Right now, if you right click on a photo uploaded to SnowJapan, you can't save the image or see the URL of the actual image. Well, it is possible, but not clear to most people. There is right now a View URL link below the photo and if you click on that, you can see the URL address of the photo so that you can easily post it in threads. The reason we originally did that is to deter people from copying images easily. While people who really want to copy a photo will know how to, it deters other people from doing it who don't know how to. The downside of that is that it makes it more hassle to find the image URL and post on the Forums. We are considering taking out that bit of functionality to make it so that you can right click to see the URL of the image - making it easier. I have asked a few people on here who post a lot of photos and they don't seem to mind the idea, but I was wondering what other people thought before we do this.... So, keep it like it is, or make it easier to copy/paste the address of the photos? Feedback most welcome. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 I don't mind. The current system is easy enough but I can see how it confuses people. Simple is good. Link to post Share on other sites
seemore 66 Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 I find it hard I guess if i did it all the time it would be easier. The majority of the time I won't bother and I do have photos I would like to share. Seemore Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted November 26, 2010 Author SnowJapan Admin Share Posted November 26, 2010 OK seemore that is good feedback... we would like you to share too of course so want to make it as simple as possible. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites
JA2340 16 Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 David, Never tried to copy pics from here, cannot see (boring old fart, me!) why one would want to copy to paste elsewhere. Maybe I'm too "out of touch" or maybe I represent the majority ... who knows? Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 After you learn how - it is easy. But everyone does seem to stuff it up the first time Link to post Share on other sites
iiyamadude 6 Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 I say change it so we can right click and get the address easily. Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 yeah same here - whilst I appreciate the service, it can be annoying having to add photo, open photo, click on show url. Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted November 26, 2010 Author SnowJapan Admin Share Posted November 26, 2010 Well, the feedback seems pretty clear so far. More is welcome, will be discussing this next week with a view to changing it fairly quickly if we do. There will be a new, clearly written How To Post Photos guide coming up as well.

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 I'm another right click fan, while its not that much of a difference, it is the little things like that that makes me wanna throw.....eh....yeah I prefer the easy right click. Link to post Share on other sites
griller 9 Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Not difficult but yes I think it would be best all round if you took that out so that people can simply right click a photo to get the address. Link to post Share on other sites

iiyamadude 6 Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 What does "click please" mean? Link to post Share on other sites
hellyer 216 Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 sorry, I mean I would prefer the right click option Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted December 1, 2010 Author SnowJapan Admin Share Posted December 1, 2010 OK folks we have changed a few things so that now when you view photo, if you right click on the photo the URL of the image will be visible. Feel free to take a look and even upload older pics if you want to try it out (though probably best to mention they are old in the caption). I will make more of an announcement about this tomorrow.

seemore 66 Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Hi SJDavid Ok now when you click on the icon above it askes whether you want a left floating/ floating/ non floating. What does this mean? Also if I have a photo on my computer and I right click there is no URL. Please help or point me in the right direction. Seemore Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted December 1, 2010 Author SnowJapan Admin Share Posted December 1, 2010 Hi there A photo on your computer is not going to have a URL as it is on your computer. A photo needs to be uploaded to the site and be hosted online to have a URL. If that makes sense. I will be posting something later on today with more details on all of this, please give me a bit of time. Link to post Share on other sites
seemore 66 Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Cheers Mate Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 you need to upload a picture before you can a get a url. Floating means this: That is regular without floating. This is floating to the right.----------------------------> It causes text to wrap around pictures, and also where you want pictures to be on the page. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 What I do is just put after it. Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted December 1, 2010 Author SnowJapan Admin Share Posted December 1, 2010 OK I have put up a guide on the Forums now: http://www.snowjapanforums.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/389415/GUIDE_Uploading_photos_to_Snow.html I hope that helps. If you think it can be improved in any way, please do let us know and we will adjust. Feel free to try this with photos from previous seasons if you wish - just mention that in the caption so people don't get too excited at seeing all that snow! Thanks again for the feedback.

iiyamadude 6 Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 My impression is that they are pretty much doing that throughout the year. Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Hey, Is there any chance in the future that we might be able to upload more than 5 photos at one time? Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 but that would take ages to upload. Link to post Share on other sites
