"Albums" channel/subchannel location?

[yakima]

So where is "Albums", that Kev is flooding with pictures?

You can get there by clicking on "Albums". I can’t imagine how he found it because clicking on "Special" throws an error.

[yakima]

Thank you.

I noticed that as well. Tried searching for it on the main channels page, no bueno.

I are still cornfused. Sometimes I see the little Special line, sometimes not. And in any event, never Albums. And if I click on his posts, photos are very slow to load (which may be my local issue).

Are you on your phone? I posted this and the previous response from my IPad, but "Special | Albums" isn’t available on my IPhone.

Always learning. I get the Special line when under Recent Posts, but not when on a specific thread. Was not being attentive. Am on a MacBook Air.
In any event, was just curious.

Did this used to be on the channels list somewhere? Like yakima, I was like, hey where’s this channel been? I couldn’t find it on the main channels list. Didn’t even know it existed.

I have a question. I’ve posted thousands of photos to The Pit. I can find them under my profile, under the tab “media”. They display in line:




Is there a better way to manage them? Sometimes I’d like to find an old photo and repost it without re-uploading it, but I don’t think that is possible. I either find it in my photos on my device, or decide that it really isn’t that important and move on.

On a scale of 1-100, this is about a 3 for me; it’s more curiosity than it is an ask.

The "display in a line" is most likely due to viewing on a small screen. I do not see that on my Media tab (using large screen).

As for re-posting previous media. That would be a good feature to have. I will look into that.

Here is the deal. There is a system (disabled) that allows you to select one or more images from your previously uploaded media. The reason it was disabled: it makes copies. Instead of just displaying the selected image(s). So you select an image, post, and now you have two copies in your media. Basically, exactly the same as just uploading a same file again.

However, there is a way to display existing image. Just takes a little work.

Find the image you want to display. Your media or album, someone elses media or album. Right click on the image you want. Select "Copy Image Link" (IMPORTANT: not copy link, copy IMAGE link).

Then enter the following IMG BBCode. Important, must be uppercase.
