Hey Ed,
When it click on "My Forum Posts" it takes me to a list of my images and "My Album" takes me to another list of forum posts I didnt comment on. I know that you are rearranging some things and maybe this happened on accident? Anyway, just thought Id bring it to your attention.
Thanks


Ooops
Thank you Vicki,
That was a momentary glitch.
Could you check it for me, just so I know it works alright on your end.
(By the way, your forum posts will include all your image posts as well.)
I have been a bit naughty lately, working on the live site. Normally I would make all the changes on a local copy of the site and then just upload all the changes, but as I am stuck in bed and only have access to my laptop, I can't do that.
Thank you for bearing with me.
I hope you like the changes.

It still looks the same to me. Under Competition Judge My Album is not showing any of my photos and My Forum Posts is showing all of my photos along with this forum post. Oh the wonderful world of css. :o)

Found the problem
All that fuss over a missing slash!
In my defense, thought, I did find this:
A hyphen, a hyphen, my spacecraft for a hyphen
NASA's Mariner 1 never got to Venus in 1962 because someone omitted a hyphen in the software programming. A post flight review board found the omission in the data-editing programme generated incorrect guidance signals for the spacecraft. The omission of the hyphen caused the computer to execute a series of erroneous course corrections that finally threw Mariner 1 off course.
If it can happen to Nasa, then I don't feel so bad anymore.
Anyway, the reason why you can see your images on the "My Forum Posts" page is because people can comment on your pictures, so you would have no way of knowing if someone commented on a picture apart from checking each and every one if it wasn't listed there. I think this is only a problem now as I have recently migrated your gallery.
Maybe I should rename the link, or I should rethink it if users find it confusing.
The missing line breaks are there temporarily as I am developing the user pages and everything below "My Latest Pictures" is being re-juggled and re-jigged.
Thank you again for letting me know, I never would have found the problems otherwise.
Also, if you have any ideas or comments, please do not hesitate, as the site is still in rapid development. I only hope to have things in a stable state around the end of the year, so if you can think of any features that you may find useful, that would be great.
Let me ask you this: What would you prefer, being able to write a caption that will appear below your pictures in your album, or being able to write add searchable tags to pictures, such as when you have taken a picture of a tree at sunset, you can add the tags "tree" and sunset, and you can then search the entire site for any pictures by any users who have added those words to their images?
I could of course add both the caption and the tag, but I want to make it as simple as possible to upload pictures.
Also, while we're at it, which did you find easier to user, the old or the new gallery and upload system?
Well, that's quite enough interogation for one night, I don't suppose you expected such a barrage of questions when you made your comment!

reply...
* laughing* I really like what your doing with our new pages, and I do like this uploading better then our old one. Very user friendly.
Some of my personal 2 cents...

I agree that maybe calling the link¬¨¬®¬¨¬Æ¬¨¬®¬¨?Ü‚Äö?Ñ????ë?????´‚Äö?Ñ????ë‚Äö?тĆ My Post & Comments or something would be better understood. Thanks for explaining the whole picture commenting concept, I like that idea as well.
¬¨¬®¬¨¬Æ¬¨¬®¬¨?Ü‚Äö?Ñ????ë?????´‚Äö?Ñ????ë‚Äö?тĆAs for the caption question, Im more of a caption vs a tag person. I usually dont do much tag searching.
I have to admit, I love watching the changes. Its exciting. (Boy, that dont say much for my life!) Im glad you dont mind my posting you about this or that. One of my biggest downfalls is that Im a horrible perfectionist.
Beyond these small glitches, I must let you know that you are doing a really awesome job developing your site.
Im going to watch my favorite tv show House now. Do you know Hugh Laurie?¬¨¬®¬¨¬Æ¬¨¬®¬¨?Ü‚Äö?Ñ????ë?????´‚Äö?Ñ????ë‚Äö?тƬ¨¬®¬¨¬Æ¬¨¬®¬¨?Ü‚Äö?Ñ????ë?????´‚Äö?Ñ????ë‚Äö?тĆ

Useful comments
I tend to agree with you on the question of tagging.
I think tags tend to be useful for people who search for images, rather than those who take them, so it might not fit well into this site.
I can't really see my users saying: "Mmmm, I want to see a picture of a tree..."
If most photographers are like me, then they just want to see good pictures, regardless of the subject matter. My old photo guru used to say: "Anyone can take a beautiful picture of a beautiful flower, but it takes a special photographer to take a beautiful picture of a cactus."
As you can see, I have taken your advice on the renaming of the comments link.
Keep the questions an comments coming, I find it really helpful to know what you think.
As for Hugh, nope, I don't.
Anyway, gotta go, I'm working again tonight, though my cough hasn''t let me in peace yet.
