SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted December 2, 2010 Author SnowJapan Admin Share Posted December 2, 2010 Yes we have considered this. We decided not to as the uploading page would become rather large and also uploading times would also increase. So we thought we would keep it at 5. If many people really wanted to be able to upload more than that, considering the things I just mentioned above, more than welcome to re-visit that. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Ok well how about the option for people then to do it? Ie there is a box that says "add another photo" and extends the page by another box for a photo. Does that make sense? Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted December 2, 2010 Author SnowJapan Admin Share Posted December 2, 2010 Yes it does, interesting. I'll bring it up soon when we next discuss things. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 ultimately it is the loading time that deters. That option would just increase the loading time. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 And I'd say that given a limit of time and resources that the other things you are doing are of more valuable. 5 is fine with me, and I upload the most I think! Link to post Share on other sites
best skier in hakuba 5 Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 You upload pics muika? Can't recall seeing any Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Originally Posted By: thursday ultimately it is the loading time that deters. That option would just increase the loading time. But loading 4 sets of 5 pictures would take the same time as loading up 20pictures though. All I am saying is for the option to be possibly placed there, it might not get used, but it would be useful. Not saying it should take priority either MB over other things, just for future possibilities if, and when, they have some free time. Link to post Share on other sites
panhead_pete 27 Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 The uploading more pics would give us the option to run this in the background whilst working, rather then having to go back to it several times to upload pics. One other suggestion is that can the pics have an IMG URL so that we can direct copy and paste that like in Photobucket etc, would also allow us to easily link the pics in non SJF places. Just some thoughts Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted December 2, 2010 Author SnowJapan Admin Share Posted December 2, 2010 I am guessing that having many very large photos at once would also put a fair bit more load on the server which might be something we don't want, though that is not my area so I am only guessing. What do you mean with that last comment Pete..... the image URL is there. Link to post Share on other sites
panhead_pete 27 Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Sorry mate Im not all that IT savy. Maybe when Im doing it I do it wrong but couldnt we have a tag we copy and past rather then the URL and adding the part? Hope that makes sense Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 So you mean it comes pre-formatted with the [/img] tag around the url. Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted December 2, 2010 Author SnowJapan Admin Share Posted December 2, 2010 OK I think I get what you are asking there. I'll discuss this with my colleague soon. Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted December 2, 2010 Author SnowJapan Admin Share Posted December 2, 2010 OK that was a good idea, my colleague has been making some changes again. Take a look at any photo in the section. For example: http://www.snowjapan.com/e/insider/show_photo.php?photoId=16972 Hope you like it. How does that look? All you would need to do now is copy the code and plonk it into a thread on here 'as is'. No need for any codes etc. If that looks good we'll adjust all the help files so people can know about this too. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 That really will make it easier for people! Or it sure should anyway.... Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 actually thats great Link to post Share on other sites
panhead_pete 27 Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Thats it. Much easier! Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted December 2, 2010 Author SnowJapan Admin Share Posted December 2, 2010 Great -- before the end of the day all of the help files and noticed etc will be changed to reflect that and I'll mention it in the other threads. Link to post Share on other sites
panhead_pete 27 Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 It also allows us to use the same link to post pics on other forums! That is great! Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Thats a great difference - I expect a royalty check very soon. Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted December 3, 2010 Author SnowJapan Admin Share Posted December 3, 2010 5% on every photo uploaded! After development costs have been cleared of course. Wasn't it pete's idea though? Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 It may have been his vague idea, but I proposed the design, and translated it from Australian English to English for you guys. Gotta count for something. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 and he or one of his forebears probably commited a heinous crime against the crown, so Rob, being the first non-crim to tidy up the mess, that said probable-crim inferred, SHOULD in all fairness get the commission Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted December 3, 2010 Author SnowJapan Admin Share Posted December 3, 2010 Thanks Rob and Pete. It was a fine idea, I can't quite believe we hadn't thought of it. But there you go! I hope it will make things much easier for people who want to upload and share on here. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
