Introducing Forum Galleries!
Posted: Sat Nov 21, 2009 1:13 am
We've just added a new feature to the forum, that I hope you guys will enjoy. Galleries!
It's always bothered me that we didn't have a good area for us to gather promotional images from the series, or post pics of our cars, or toys, or meeting the cast and crew, as well as other countless KR things - that is properly. Sure, you could create a thread, to show off your stuff, but then it just gets burried under a sea. Your really cool visuals just get lost.
Additionally, often people host images outside KRO, on ImageShack or countless other places, and occasionally those images get removed or deleted, and the context of a forum thread gets completely lost. Hopefully this will help that.
gallery/index.php" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
If you head over to the above url you can see the framework for an album structure with some sample images I have uploaded. Over time I'm sure we'll expand the offerings, but this should help us start out. Just find the category that best suits you and upload your images. And unlike forums, it gives you a clear visual representation of what the link is about.
Galleries also allow commenting like a thread, and you can also rate images to help show off the cooler images!
Additionally, each user is able to upload images to their personal galleries (vs the public ones), but you're limited to 20 photos there in the effort of making the public galleries richer.
So please check it out, and upload something Knight Rider! Remember to keep it clean, and anything that isn't can and will be removed (we're a family friendly site!)
Let us know if you see any bugs (its possible!) and would love to hear any feedback you have.
