Photo gallery updates

06-01-2008

Okay - I've added a couple of links to the lightbox image.

When you click on a medium image in the photo gallery and see the lightbox image, there are two links at the bottom left of the image after the image title (see attached screenshot)

The "Gallery" link takes you to the medium image (that's mostly just there for when you click on a photo in the forums and want to see the image in the gallery)

The "Original" link takes you to the original raw file - which will be opened in your browser window. You can then zoom in to 100% size and see all the detail if you wish.

Okay I've also changed the code in the photo gallery for linking to photos in forum posts.

You can now just paste the "photo" code or the "thumb" code into your post, and it shows the photos with the photo title below. When you click on the photo you get the lightbox image (which contains a link back to the photo gallery or to view the original photo).

I love the sun bear picture Sim!

Hi Sim et al

Also loving new photo gallery format.

Thanks Sim for pandering to us UK members.

Various people have requested specific pictures from me and that is very gratifying......suddenly there is a proper outlet for my pictures of enclosures etc!! Bear with me guys, will post some more Dublin, Belfast, Marwell/ Okapi soon (but sorry Toddy, Bergen Crocs are a no go).

Also thanks for your reply Sim re: size of pictures. My question was related to the thumbnails in the gallery. For example, if I go to my photos.....the small pictures are of different sizes (they used to be all the same). At first I thought this corresponded to the original size of the picture but it dosn't as some bigger PX are smaller thumbnails.

Anyway, its a tiny issue and probably not worth spending loads of time on or may just be my pc or something......

Still having a little trouble removing e-mail alerts for pictures, etc though. Signed up to these when I joined but now find that I visit the site so frequently I just don't need them and they clog up my in-box?? Can you do it from your end?

Upwards and onwards for 08.

Dean

You might be seeing cached images - if you force a page refresh (CTRL-F5 in your browser) you should get the new larger thumbnails. If not - there may be one or two photos which didn't convert correctly when I changed to the larger format (it happens).

Few pics added - including Chinese monal from China for Hornbill.

Can somebody PM me how to upload pics by bulk? It's too slow.

16-05-2008

I've Uploaded nearly 90 pictures today!

Take a look, there are lots of Curassow, Gorilla (Mainly eastern Lowland) and Babirusa pictures..

You take great close ups, very crisp, if that makes sense can't find the words for it.

16-05-2008

Yes it does. Thanks!

Most of the pictures I've just uploaded are mine, there are a few taken by my dad (he's got a big posh camera) but most are quite old too!

16-05-2008

What camera do you use?

17-05-2008

How often do you visit zoos?

29-05-2008
