G'day all While I generally like the new PPG, there are one or two confusing things:
If you update your profile, you will see under the heading "Your Gear" three boxes labelled "Camera", "Lens" and "Other". You can use the first two boxes to select your gear but any selections you make won't actually appear on your publicly visible profile. Only the text in the "Other" box appears there. So, if you want to list your camera(s) and Lens(es), you need to include them in the "Other" box. Very odd - must be a bug. Also on the Update Profile page there is a box where you can enter the URL of your website. If you do that, leave off the "http://"; part. If you include it, the link will generate an error when someone clicks on it in the publicly visible profile because the gallery software adds "http://"; to the link. Observations.... I notice that the photographer's name no longer appears on images presented for voting, so they've fixed that bug quickly. The voting system seems to have changed. Previously, images that made it through the voting phase were given the final yes/no by Pentax. Now it seems that the PPG Community is the sole judge. See here: http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/manage/gallery/process Item 3: "If your photo is generally liked and accepted by the community, it will be publicly displayed in the PENTAX Photo Gallery" Cheers Brian ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Brian Walters Western Sydney Australia http://lyons-ryan.org/southernlight/ -- -- http://www.fastmail.fm - mmm...
