First off - very cool update - I didn't really offer my appreciation in the last post.  However, one nit to pick, I miss being able to click on the handle of the person who comments so that I can see their pictures, etc.  

- Just a Wannabee

Ok, I am trying this, I don't think the file shrunk down so good, anyone got any suggestions?  I did a black and white and even though it told me it uploaded, it wasn't in my gallery... God only knows where on the web it is.

When I went into my prefs the picture pull down said none :o(... I think I will try again in a bit. i am blonde, so I could be doing something wrong, lol!

Cory, glad the "click on person" feature will be back!  

And it's really neat to put some pictures (be they actual images of the person or not) with names!

..and how long have you been out of prison, Steven? ;-)

great idea.

HI CORY - IS THERE A REASON YOU ARE NOT PAYING ME THE MONEY YOU OWE ME OR RESPONDING TO ME E-MAILS????

EVERYONE ON HERE BE VERY AWARE THAT CORY IS NOT TOO TRUSTWORTHY WHEN IT COMES TO PAYING FOR PRINTS SOLD ON HIS SITE. ALSO, THERE IS NO WAY TO REMOVE IMAGES AND REPEATED REQUETS TO REMOVE MY ACCOUNT AND ALL IMAGES (AFTER MONTHS OF NOT BEING PAID FOR A PRINT SALE) HAVE GONE UNANSWERED.

NOT TOO COOL,

CHRIS

Chris, I was wondering not long ago why we hadn't seen new entries from you in some time. Your work was uniformly excellent and elevated the level of the site.

It's easy to forget--since the conversation was so long ago--that this site is notdesigned to be a venue for photography sales. I'm sure Cory would be delighted if we did generate more sales--then he could upgrade that 386 that all our images are stored on (joking).

This site isn't Cory's job, either, and he doesn't get nearly enough time to devote to it. Rightfully, you're entitled to your payment--that's great that you sold a print!--and I hope the situation will now be taken care of and we all can move on.

But pleasereconsider having your account shut down and the images removed--we need more, not less of the level of work you posted here. The site has grown in recent months into a great community of great photography and great comraderie, and your presence would be missed. As you said when you first posted, "I welcome the opportunity to share some of my images and to see the photos from fellow photographers from around the world." That's what the site is about!

If you still would like your account closed, Cory must do that--but I can delete your images: just email me with the request, and I'll do it. Not happily, but I will.

Regards, John

I'm in the camp of which Mark speaks...Paypal is the devil, Bobby Boucher!

hhmmm... "less painless"  typing faster than I think or a slip?  

So far I've nothing against paypal, but give me time...

Cool idea, indeed, but I'm another one who found "none" under "picture" in my preferences, though I uploaded display and thumbnail size photos successfully.

Chris! John is right. This place is great for photography and we dont aim for sales in here. Give us the opportunity to keep viewing your great work from time to time. Cory, John and all other people involved in this website do a great job of keeping this site alive for all of us to learn more. Earning is secondary. Cory respects every photographers work and is does his best to help them come up.

This site is great as far as exposure goes. I have my pix being used on gap.com because of photographica. No I did not sell it but gave them permission to use it coz I did not feel like selling it. It was close to my heart.

You never know who is watching your work out there. Dont be upset Chris! Just mail him whenever you have anything on mind. I know he is prompt in replying too.

I agree that it will take time to get out a print check, and I do know that this site is not about money....however...the one print sale I am referring to was back in December of 2004..FOUR MONTHS ago!!!!! That seems a little excessive. It's not the money I am worried about...it's the fact that someone else besides me has my original hi-res image files, and has sold at least one print of them and then never paid me for it. And could be doing the same over again. Or responded but to one e-mail.

The idea to sell images on this site was not mine, and I assumed that the sales would be handled in a professional manner. I do have respect for everyone involved on this site, but to a semi-pro who is trying to maintain control over the distribution of his images, having someone out there with my high-res original images is making me feel very nervous, esp. when they haven't followed through on their end of the aggrement yet as far as sales go.

I really do like the design of the website and wish everyone involved the best. I have no problem with contining to post here, I was just getting nervous that me e-mails were going unanswered and there was no responce from Cory. I would be glad to keep my photos and presence her,

Chris

Took a while for me too - I changed from 126 px wide to 120 and uploaded thumb, image and hi-res.

Man, these avatars kind of slow down the loading of comments!  I might have to do some more code tweaks to speed things up.

I'll probably also add some way for your avatar image to size properly so it shows up in the list.

- The Beachmaster

Are those images 145 and 150 WIDE or HIGH? I am used to seeing something like 145x109 meaning 145wide by 109high...BUT, the way Cory worded it to begin with is 150 HIGH by 126 WIDE. Beyond that...just keep trying, making sure you upload at least the medium and thumbnail size versions.

- I'm Special!

Codepoit,  Thank you for your assistance. For anyone else having problems, make sure to pay attention to the H X W and don't mix them up.  Thanks again.

- Practice Makes Perfect

Thanks Codepoit.  I had the H X W backwards.  Once I figured that out, it worked.

Way to go, TYD! It's cool to check this post out again to see more pix appear. Yeah, I'm talking to YOU, tbell! And now, to bump this baby up again!

Ok, this is a great idea; I'm having as much trouble as everyone else did.  My photo is uploaded and is in my pics, but I can't get it in my preferences.  Drop box says none.  I don't know how to make the pic smaller; maybe that's my problem.  HELP!

- Ms.N

ah, there's the rub! It's too big. If you email me I can reply with a resized version, if you like. May I suggest some photo editing software? The best and cheapest is Adobe Photoshop Elements, which is usually pretty cheap (and if you've bought a printer or scanner lately they often include it for free on the install disk). It's even cheaper if you know a student at a college--the bookstore probably has it for less than $50.
