Title: New photo gallery
Post by: Eddy Matthews on January 27, 2005, 09:18:49 AM
We are currently evaluating a new photo gallery, and would appreciate user comments on it.....  The new software is much more flexible than our current setup, but WILL mean that any photos uploaded to our current gallery will be lost if we change!

You can view the new gallery at:

www.paddleducks.co.uk/photopost

Please take a look and let us have your comments - You only have a couple of days to give your views. If the overall feedback is positive or if there is no feedback we WILL change, so now is the time to let us know!

This software is commercial and has cost a fair amount of money, so please don't dismiss it out of hand - But if you have a genuine problem with it or dislike it for whatever reason we would like to hear about it! We would obviously also like to hear if you prefer it!

Regards
Eddy

Thanks guys, we appreciate your comments....

We needed a better gallery than the one we have, and it's better to change early so we affect fewer people!

Definitely a good idea.  This is a much better layout.  I certainly would be happy to upload my photos again.

Cheers Martin,

That's the main reason the I've tried to get it sorted as quickly as I could, so hopefully we don't have hundreds of photos that need re-uploading. If everything goes to plan I'll add the new photo gallery to the site properly tomorrow.

Regards
Eddy

Since everyone seems to like the new gallery, it's now been added to the site properly - You'll have to go to the main website to access it now though:

http://www.paddleducks.co.uk/index1.htm

The old gallery has been removed, so if you had photos in there that you want people to see I'm afraid you'll have to re-upload them to the new gallery. Don't worry, this will be the LAST change to the Gallery pages so you won't have to go through this again! :-)

For those that haven't looked at the new gallery yet, it uses the same user database as the forum, so you only need to register once to access both.

Regards
Eddy

Hi

Stuart Badger from the UK here. Like the new layout. Would you like pictures of the Reliant (full size) and the Old Trafford (model).  or would you like to keep uploads to a minimum?

Hi Stuart,

One of the main reasons for the new website was get get LOTS more storage space, so please feel free to upload anything you think would be interesting.... No doubt sooner or later we'll have to delete files etc, but that is a long way off!

Regards
Eddy

Okay, I've just spent all morning uploading the photos from the old Yahoo site into our new photo gallery - All 230 of them!

At least it's one more thing that I can cross off the never ending list of "things to do" :-)

Eddy
