Title: Uploading Photos
Post by: Gazzetta on September 29, 2008, 18:59:58 CET
Hi ppl, just a quick one regarding the uploading of pictures.

Try to be a bit careful when uploading pictures in order to put them in the right section. Also note that new members with less than 20 posts need to have their picture approved by a senior moderator before it's displayed, which is why when you upload a photo you don't see it straight away.

Just follow these four steps :

1) Enter the Main Gallery where all the photos are situated.
2) Choose the best gallery your photo fits in.
3)Go at the bottom of the selected gallerey, double click on Add a   Picture
4)Fill the information given and check again that your photo fits in the category given, if not just click on the arrow on the right and choose the correct category from the menu that pops down.

In this way we'll have all the photos situated in the correct sections and easier for others to find them.

Thanks

Just a reminder to all those uploading photo's. If there is nothing to show a size reference (like a ?5 note or a pack of cigarettes etc) and they appear to be of a borderline size your picture will not be approved or if you have auto approval it will be removed.

Whilst we cannot stop you from catching small fish, we would rather that you practice catch and release and let it live another day, and therefore due to it's size it will not be displayed.

One thing I'm noticing lately is pictures of several fish, some good sized and then some that are undersized. If you include undersized fish in the photo the picture will not be approved.

We can't possibly check every picture so some may slip through, but don't be surprised if it's later removed.

Anyone can click on report button and provide a reason why they feel the picture shouldn't be displayed.

Thanks,

Skip

agree 100%, after demolishing the  hunting hobby, i'm expecting the authorities and all the staff to pick on our sport! so we must do our job and not give them anything to say!
Title: Re: Uploading Photos
Post by: MartinB on December 02, 2008, 21:21:43 CET
That's true! & also we have an added incentive too.The bird migration's passes but if we all release undersized fish its like depositing something in the bank for the future. ;)

Guys, easy on the picture uploads especially when uploading alot of the same event or catch. So far I haven't imposed limits on people due to limitations within the gallery software, however as space is limited on the server this is something that is being considered.

We will either have member galleries restricted to premium members only, or alternatively we will introduce an annual membership fee for those who want access to the gallery, and personal galleries etc.

Reminder to all especially new members, that pictures containing undersized fish will NOT be approved even if they are next to a nice sized one.

Uploading of pictures to the gallery has now been restricted to Premium and VIP Members only.

Registered online members can view the gallery and leave comments.

As per announcement http://maltafishingforum.com/talk/index.php?page=10 posted in April 2009

Hi I have just become a member however i only managed to upload a picture once. I don't have the option to add pictures. Can you please advise what the problem can be?
Title: Re: Uploading Photos
Post by: sajjiedf2 on June 06, 2009, 17:45:29 CET
Te problem is that from now on only VIP members and premium members can upload their pctures. See the thread posted by skip in the above reply.
Title: Re: Uploading Photos
Post by: skip on June 06, 2009, 18:48:14 CET
As sajjiedf2 posted, if you want to upload to the gallery you will need to become a paid member, either Premium ?8 per year or VIP ?20
Title: Re: Uploading Photos
Post by: shanook on June 06, 2009, 20:42:34 CET
sajjied its not a matter of making money but to have this forum going it costs money and the more photos that are uploaded and the more members posting the more space that needs to be bought for the forum t function.
Thanks for our support of the forum
regards

Post by: sajjiedf2 on June 07, 2009, 16:12:02 CET
@shanook- I never said that its a mattar of making money that the forum decided to make these new rules. I know that the forum needs money so it can be run in the right way. I think you misunderstood me ;)
Title: Re: Uploading Photos
Post by: skip on June 07, 2009, 16:22:24 CET
I was chatting about this with some forum members last night, I would have liked to leave the gallery open but the amount of disk space and annual bandwidth required per month has grown beyond expectations.

One option was to remove the old pictures but that would be a shame, or to remove pictures where people have uploaded 3 or 4 of the same thing, but this would be a very labour intensive process. Premium membership is very reasonable at ?8, which is under Lm3.50 a year. You get a professional forum card, a 20% misterfish discount voucher and 10% everytime at various places like Misterfish, Ta' Bormla, Winesdirect and the list is growing all the time. Plus reduced entry fee in competitions and certain online privildges.

I think we are giving an incredible amount back to the local community by keeping the forum free for people to browse, read and learn at no cost. Out of the 1000 online members there are another 3000 people who browse this forum on a monthly basis, reading but never registering or posting. I assure you they are learning alot and putting it all to good practice.

Register online for free and you can create new topics and reply to existing ones and view the gallery.

If you want to upload pictures you need to be a paid up member, but at least there are various free levels which still give you alot of options. I can't promise that access to the forum will remain free forever, but I would like to keep it that way for as long as possible. If we had to 'bill' for the time spent running the forum by myself and the moderators, then probably everyone would need to pay some kind of member fee to cover the costs.

This is not directed at anyone in particular, just a general comment for all to read.

the membership is worth guys considering an avid fisherman would save up approx 100 euro a year on fishing gear, not bait obviously there a no discounts on that
Title: Re: Uploading Photos
Post by: robby017 on June 07, 2009, 16:52:39 CET
Thats right Granitu, think of it this way , one of the give aways is a one time 20% discount voucher from Mr Fish, If you buy 1 good rod of circa 100 Euro, you would have already gotten back the 20 euro you gave to the forum + apart from the one time 20% dis voucher you have a continuous discount of 10% from various stores which is no joke considering how expensive our beloved hobby is. What is 8 or even 20 euro when we spend 100's of euros a year on tackle... Just my opinion.

hey thats a good idea wahx i think, whilst browising i've come across the same fish in 5-10 differant angles and posing with one or 2 models, lol... that would be a good idea.... but everyone must do their own bit and sort out their own photos, not to waste the moderator's precious time....
