Welcome! This is a website that everyone can build together. It's easy!

07/17/08 - release


In this release we've overhauled the Photo Galleries. We added some new features and considered your feedback from our last photo gallery release. Highlights include:

  • Ability to add a slideshow of photos to any wiki page - check out the fine example from Jamesbondwiki.com
  • Ability to upload multiple photos at once
  • Discussion threads for individual photos
  • Option to view photos at their original size
  • Option to upload a photo to a page but not include in the Photo Gallery

We have also done quite a bit of work on the Invitation process. The biggest impact to current members will be the removal of the security delay -- so invitations you send will be delivered within 10 minutes. In addition to eliminating the delay we've done the following:

  • Invitations can be sent anonymously - you don't have to be a current member or logged in to send invitations
  • When you invite your friends to join you on the wiki (when you’re signed in), they’ll see you waiting to be 'friended' when they accept the invite.
  • Private wikis are really private – only moderators and up can send invitations

Finally, we have added redirects to renamed pages. So when you rename a page, we redirect existing links to the old name to the new page.

Please be sure to tell us what you think!

just_tonya Re-ordering photos in album / slideshow 2 Sep 22 2008, 11:14 PM EDT by Anonymous

Love the updates to the photo galleries!

I created an album, uploaded multiple photos simultaneously for it, and created a slideshow. However, I wanted to show a sequence of events in the slideshow -- and the photos were not uploaded in that sequence. It would be nice to be able to change the order of the photos in an album (so that slideshow sequence can be controlled) --- perhaps by adding a "Move" function in the "More tools" actions list for albums. I suppose the way to avoid this problem of mine is to not upload the group of pictures -- but upload them individually in the order needed?

thehaze44 Threads don't pull up associated photos 2 Aug 4 2008, 11:35 PM EDT by thehaze44

When you start a thread form a photo, it shows up when you visit the photo, but if you go to the thread, the photo doesn't show up.
I started a thread on our private wiki because one of the photos was just awesome. I titled it "Great Photo" and wrote my compliment. When I clicked on the "What's New" tab I saw that I had started a thread. I clicked on the link and was taken to the thread, but there was no photo to be seen. I thought maybe I'd screwed up (it's happened before, see http://www.wetpaintcentral.com/thread/1717978/Nice+design) so I deleted that thread and wrote it again. Same results. Third time I put a link to the photo in my comments and even though it still didn't display when I went to the thread, at least a person could find the photo I was talking about.
Starting a thread from a photo should do one of two things:
1 - Take you to the photo with the thread displayed or
2 - Automatically append the photo's address to the end of the thread
Do you find this valuable?
