Members are Limited Editors



    Hi Folks

    I've made every member who participates on this site a 'limited editor',  this means you have the full control over every journal entry you post, and you are also the moderator of who participates on your entries.   If anyone chooses to become nasty or obnoxious in posting a response to an entry by a member and/or one of your uploaded images, you can delete that individuals response, and you don't have to ask anyone else before you do.

    This is because of the assumption that all members are members here because of who and what you are, and if someone who isn't a member attempts to try to make anyone here miserable, you don't have to wait anyone else to step in, simply delete the offending post. 

   I'm doing this because I've never liked having to ask someone else's permission to moderate/delete something nasty that someone directed to me, regarding a conversation that I initiated.  I believe we all have the right to initiate a dialogue on this site without being flamed/attacked, and if  you are attacked, that you should have the capability to just eliminate that attack yourself right then and there w/o question.

  You have the right to invite or refuse the right for anyone to come to your home, your initiating a discussion or uploading an image is the same thing to me, and so this is my thought process behind this. 

  Take care

Image Indexed by categories/subgroups


     Hi folks


You'll notice the names of your lenses/films used/cameras and so forth at the bottom of your entries near your name(which I've also made a category/subgroup), which means if you click on any of these at the bottom, they will appear as a subgroup.

If you click on Pinkham & Smith, all the Pinkham & Smith shots will appear as a group, and you won't have to fish around the complete site to find them, if you click on Pinkham & Smith Semi-Achromatic Doublet, all the SA Doublet images will appear together.  If you click on your name, which is also a category/subgroup, all the images shot by you will appear as a group.


You can also do this when you originally post your images by going to the right of the 'entry date' box, and and clicking the 'browse' button inside the 'categories' box at the extreme right.  A pop-list of categories will appear.


Hopefully this will increase the flexibility of this site.

Cheers
