sailFar.net Image Gallery

Are you clicking the "Member Galleries" link while logged in?  Your login from the forum should be the same as the login for the gallery side, but if I recall correctly, you DO have to manually log into the gallery the first time.

Paddlefoot, when you are in the 'random" picture area, click on "members galleries" in the upper left, that will then take you to the proper place you're looking for.

Not sure why we have to click one more time to get there, but it's how it works now.

No Joy.

Clicked on member galleries 1 - 2- 3 --8 times.

Still shows NO User Galleries

Color me puzzled

interesting- brings up three pages of thumbnails for me.

Beyond my ken.

[paddlefoot]

Just to throw some mud on to the subject.

I went to another computer (I'm at work - so I have about
350 to choose from) that I had not used before.
signed into sailfar and was able to see the thumbnails,
all 3 pages - get this  - one time -  then the same stuff.

more info

I went back to my computer - and installed Firefox -
Guess what - no problems whatsoever.

I can only suspect that it is a combination of
WinXP
SP2
IE6.0
and the local network security.
(thank you Bill)

Soooo WTF I'll just use Firefox

[CharlieJ]

answer is - Mozilla!!!

[Captain Smollett]

Hmmm.  Now it is doing the same thing for me, and I'm using......Mozilla.  Seems like I've seen this problem before, now that I think about it.

Odd behavior, that.

[CharlieJ]

Still working just fine for me, on Mozilla. I click and get right to the thumbnails of the members galleries.

Strangely enough, mine comes up first .

[paddlefoot]

Hmmm.  Now it is doing the same thing for me, and I'm using......Mozilla.  Seems like I've seen this problem before, now that I think about it.

Odd behavior, that.

It started happening again - tried another computer and same-same.
after going thru the 3 pages they would not display again - just the
message 'no user albums'

While I have not figured out WHY it does it I did find out that if I delete
the cookie for/from sailfar.net I am able to see the photo albums again.

MeThinks that site admin needs to check out the behavior of the cookies.

[Captain Smollett]

Very interesting. Now it is working fine for me, again.  I should be on the cookie as before, so I just don't know.

Very odd.

[paddlefoot]

Very odd.

Yep odd - but repeatable.
The work around is to use Firefox and config it to dump all cookies on exit.

paddlefoot

[CharlieJ]

Very odd- I still haven't changed a thing on my cookies and it keeps coming up fine for me. I use Mozilla and  run XP

[Captain Smollett]

Kurt,

I tried to edit the caption of one of my own pics in the gallery, and got a message saying "you do not have permission to access that page" when I clicked "Save Changes" after making my edits.

I also tried to move a pic from one of my albums to another and got the same message.

Is this the expected behavior, or should we be able to edit our own pictures?

[AdriftAtSea]

Capn Smollett-

Sounds a bit odd that you're not allowed to edit your own photos... maybe the permissions are set wrong on the galleries

[Captain Smollett]

Dan,

Were you successful in editing one of your (if only for a test)?  Knowing that would help narrow it down to a possible site-wide issue or a per-user issue.

Thanks.

[Godot]

I thought I saw someone mention this before, but I don't see the message...

I went to update the caption on one of my photo's and I was informed the I don't have permission to do that.  That can't be right.  Is there a way to fix this?

[Bill NH]

How can I view other members' galleries?  When I click on "sailFar Gallery" and then on "Member Galleries", under User List it says "There are no user galleries"...  Did I accidentally change a setting somewhere?  Thanks for any assistance,
Bill

[CharlieJ]

You must have cause it just worked fine for me.

[Captain Smollett]

This pops up from time to time; I occasionally see it, too.

Kurt is aware of it (or should be) - there have been numerous threads on this topic.

Best advice I can offer is to try again later (in  few days) - perhaps logout, delete cookies and log back in (If you are logged into the forum, you should be logged into the gallery; if you have to log in manually, credentials should be the same).

I've not seen a consistent fix for this intermittent problem.   

[BobW]

Is it possible to add pics to an existing gallery?  If so, how do I do it?

I created a gallery this morning (to see if I could - I could!), and I was able to delete a file, but I can't figure out how to add a file.  If I can't do that, I'll be sure to figure out what I want in a gallery before starting.

Thanks.
