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.
well a useful bug, in a way. There are some (we won't say who) who
actually do have "too many lenses" - and it is something in flux anyway -
I think it might be to discourage too much gear pride... but they
might have called that "other" section... "also" or "more stuff"
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.
thanks for that.. I got the error message earlier not I fixed it.
Also, I can't comment on the comments - but I can "like" what someone
said about my photo(s) - so I tried that one of mine.
If I try to comment I get this message:
Warning: A browser setting is preventing you from logging in. Fix this
setting to log in. Now that isn't to log into PPG - it is something
called discus.com . In Firefox I have to allow third party sites...
but it hoovers...

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:

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
