Leslie Reid Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 It wasn't so much an edit of an old photo but a removal of it and replacement with a corrected version Thanks for the clarification, Sanford! That saves me some experimenting. Sounds like it is acting like it should, and I just tried editing an existing title in "Photos" and it works--that's going to be useful.

Sanford Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Thanks Leslie, good to know, little by little we will figure it out. Could you edit a photo title in a gallery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leslie Reid Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 Could you edit a photo title in a gallery? Just tried, and can't. It doesn't give the option in the pull-down menu on the photo. I guess that means we need to scroll down through Photos to find the right one. Once Library is available again, I'll check and see if we can edit details in the gallery views there--that would be easier... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanford Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Thats what I started to do but that photo is thousands deep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leslie Reid Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 that photo is thousands deep It occurs to me that there's a relatively easy way to do it: if you go into the gallery and get the name of the photo, you can then go into "photos" and enter the name in the search bar just above the array of photos. That should jump you to the appropriate photo, which you can then edit details on. In theory. I don't have a big enough portfolio to test it for a deep dive.

Uhooru Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Looks like another bug has returned to the My Library view. Many libraries are showing "0" photos now where they were fine before. Looks like we back-tracked slightly here. Exactly, still not fixed, and still no comment. I know there's a lot of issues to respond to, but at least it would be nice to know that staff is aware of the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uhooru Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Me too. Same symptoms; started last night; ironicly right after I responded with a suggestion to another member to use my library' to post photos from portfolio to threads<p><p>IE11 on Windows 8.1 I followed a suggestion I saw above someplace and from the 0 photos available screen in the library view, I clicked back on Photos, and then back to library. The library is there some where, it started to come up, flashed and then went back to the 0 photos screen again. So there is a bug in the routine that connects that command to the library view. Hope this will help Glenn in some fashion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leslie Reid Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 There's a fair bit of confusion over terminology on the site: two "profile" pages, one of which is the member's "home page" (as opposed to the site's "home page"), the "member center" isn't a term that is present on the site, and "portfolio" has switched from being what the public sees to being what the member sees, with no term available to refer to the collection of photos that the public sees. It'd make the site a lot easier to navigate--and make it a lot easier to explain how to navigate--if the terminology were modified to give the various pages and views unique names (maybe drawing on the v1.0 terminology to make them more familiar to long-time members). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordonjb Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I'm not sure if this is a bug or simply more poorly thought out design, so feel free to move this post Leslie, if it's not in the correct thread. If I go to the Explore area and selected Trending to bring up photos, a page of images comes up. If I click on one of those images to view it and then click on the back button in my browser, I don't go back to the page I was on, instead I move one full page forward in the trending photos. Having the back function in my browser move me forward is more than a bit confusing. Back should take me back to where I was, as is the case with every other website I visit.

Wayne Melia Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Still no photos in my library. Is Library being phased out? Does anybody have any idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack McRitchie Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Wayne, the situation is the same for me. What I find odd is that no one seems to mind - neither members nor management. It was the only way I could view photos in my "hidden" folders and now that, too has gone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW: has Glenn or anyone from P.N apologized for the inconvenience? We have been put through a real inconvenience (meat grinder) and I feel an open letter to the members should be in order, in other words, man up.

Leslie Reid Posted March 10, 2017 Author Share Posted March 10, 2017 (edited) Issue reported by multiple people on multiple browsers: only the most recent 25 photos are visible in "photos" view in the portfolio; this problem doesn't show up for at least some other members using the same browsers. Edited addition: the problem has been present since roll-out for some members Edited March 10, 2017 by Leslie Reid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems not easy or even possible without the library unless they add it back into just the profile view or some other view. There's actual several of us that have been "bugging" errrrr "informing" the admin about the issue. I really hope they fix it soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack McRitchie Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 (edited) New members no longer being identified by name in the new members section which means they can not be found in the member data base since members are identified by the name on their profile page not their home page .

Tony Brandstetter Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 It appears that all of my photos are here (Thank God), however the formats are so large, it makes a irritating presentation, many have been expanded way too big and are an annoyance. Is there any way I can fix this issue with out uploading again and loosing the comments that have been placed on them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Brandstetter Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Also- Are we working in the critique forum? I just uploaded an image for critique "Squirrel Hill Cafe", which was uploaded to my portfolio last month or so. I scrolled through 23 pages of critiques in order to find it, two other images have done the same thing, appearing way down the critique forum list, "The Final Push" and "Determined To Win" Will the site fix this glitch? Will I be able to get the photos back to place on the current critique list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leslie Reid Posted March 10, 2017 Author Share Posted March 10, 2017 Will I be able to get the photos back to place on the current critique list? I'm in the same boat, Tony. I have a work-around, though. I withdrew my 3 photos from critique, but that makes them ineligible for resubmission. Instead, I'm going to move them to a non-public folder, and then reimport the originals and rename them, then submit them instantly for critique. That should place them at the appropriate place on the critique page. I'm guessing it's a bug that will eventually be fixed, but it's undoubtedly at a lower priority level than some of the others.

The newly uploaded versions won't have the original comments, but will have the new comments. At least that's what I'm planning on doing, but then again, I'm not particularly concerned about having all the comments in one place, and that might be important to a lot of people. I often revise photos after the initial comments are in, and the originals go into my "pre-revision" private gallery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dieter Schaefer Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 log into my account and it is telling me, I have no images for critique, I have no photographers I follow, I have no favorite images. Most likely a temporary issue while they are implementing a new fix that temporarily disconnects the databases. Happened before. Still no idea why these things aren't announced site-wide though!
