3 Using the gallery – viewing other member’s pictures
[Galleries Guide|Galleries guide index]]
3.1 Comments and ratings
The Nikonians Gallery allows members to make comments about photos and give them ratings between 1 to 10. There is no such thing as a “photographers ranking” and the ratings of a photographer’s pictures are not added up in any way. The ratings are only for the purpose of giving some form of feedback to photographers.
You can only rate an image if you also post a comment on your rating. Use this possibility to help other photographers improve their work. Just above each picture there are a group of links: Add to Favorites | Post a Comment | Report Photo | Send as e-Card | Receive Email Updates
Use these links when you are browsing other members images.
3.2.1 Add to favourites
Click the {Add to Favourites} link, and the picture will be added to your own list of favourite pictures. You can easily remove a picture from your favourites list if you decide you don’t like it any more.
Downloading your favourites
You can easily download the images shown in your favourite folder by clicking on the “Download” button in your favourites display. A file called “nikonians-images.zip” will then be available for download for you. The file contains all the images from your favourites.
Depending on your online connection, the file download may take a substantial amount of time.
Remember that all images are copyright by their respective owner and you must not use the images commercially in any way whatsoever.
3.2.2 Post a comment or rating
You can give feedback about any picture.
- To submit a comment, fill in the Comments box with your text. You can optionally "rate" the photo and then select {Submit}.
- You do not have to leave a comment to vote on an image.
- You can use UBBCode (formatted text) and Smilies code in your comments – click on the links to see the legends in a separate window.
3.2.3 Report Photo
If you feel a photo may be in breach of our terms of use, you may report it to the administrator.
- Select the type of violation from the drop-down list, and add your comments to the text box.
- Click {Report Photo}.
The reporting system must be used responsibly for it to work. Please don’t abuse this facility. Clearly state why you think the image is violating our terms of use. See also: https://www.nikonians.org/html/about/terms_of_use.html
3.2.4 Send as e-Card
You can send any picture in the gallery as an e-card to family or friends.
- Click {Send as e-Card}
- In the form which comes up, enter all the details such as the recipient’s name and email address, and a brief message. If the recipient is another member of Nikonians, you can use their Nikonians user-name instead of the email address.
- You can also pick colours for the background, border and font, and the font style.
- Click the {Check here to preview before sending} box to get a preview of what your e-card will look like.
- When you are satisfied, click the {Send the E-Card} button.
- The recipient will get an email telling them you have sent the card, and giving them a link to click on to view it. They will also receive your email address so that they can respond.
3.2.5 Receive Email Updates
If you want to be notified each time somebody posts a comment for a particular picture, click on the {Receive Email Updates} link. Using the keyword / member search
When you upload or edit your pictures, you have the option to include keywords with them. If you don’t include a keyword, the system will try to create one or more from the title of the picture.
From the home page, and the main page of each gallery, you can enter a keyword or member name to search for. The system will return all the pictures which contain the particular keyword, or which belong to the particular member.
You can also click on the keywords in the information below any photo to perform a keyword search.
Viewing the latest additions
You can view the latest additions in the galleries by clicking on either of the links: “Recent Posts: last day last 7 days last 14 days all images “ located at the top of the main page.
Sorting member galleries and images shown
Depending on your current location in the galleries , you can sort the displayed data according to various criteria.
In the member galleries overview list, you can sort the members being listed according Alphabetical Order, Date (newest first), Views (high to low) and Most Active
Viewing a gallery of a member, you can sort the displayed images according to Most Active, Latest, Most Views, Most Popular, Random, Least Popular, Image Name and Title
Viewing images in slide show
By displaying the detail screen of any image, you can also start a slide show displaying the images of that gallery, automatically refreshing the display after a predefined time.
Click on the {Slide show} link. New page will open - select the delay between pictures from the drop-down list, and click {Start slideshow}. If you have a slow internet connection, use a longer delay (eg 8 or 10 seconds) to allow each file to fully download.
Once started, the slideshow will cycle through every picture in the member’s gallery. You can stop it at any time by clicking the {Stop} button.
Your profile
By clicking on this link, you are automatically shown the profile as it is stored in the Nikonians.org community. You can only edit your profile at the community server.
