A few new Pet Talk features - updates added

[Karen]

Another new feature is that users can create albums of pictures, right here on Pet Talk! I created one - you can see it if you view my profile page, as I made it public. There are some limitations - it asks that you keep images to 600 pixels square, but this is a new way for people who don't have a photobucket account, for example to post images. When you view the album, it shows you the code you can use to post the image.

For example, this one:



is an image from my album. It's a lovely blue heron we spotted one day just hanging out - and fishing - at a little cache pond in a shopping center.

It says that it will automatically resize images that are too big "but you may have better results if you do it yourself."

Thank God, Pet Talk is finally equivalent to the Ubuntu Forums...
Did you guys implement the ability to change picture dimensions with the [img][/img] tag like I demonstrated in a thread in this same forum?

Is this a good place to apologise for all the "friendship requests" I think I may have just sent out? I was poking around the new "Incoming friend requests" page which seemed to be all the people that were on some list before - you know the one that made people appear with a cross after their name? I remember adding the people I first met here to that list, and the people who posted a message when my Mum's Cat became Cat of the Day. I was trying to see what it did, but forgot all about it after I realised it didn't do very much.

So now I seem to have sent friendship requests to heaps of people, and loads of them don't even come to PT any more. That is going to cause them a bit of confusion if they get a notification through their email.

So that's what that is. I received a notification but don't have a clue
on what to do with it.

KK, no need for excuses. It's a bit confusing for all of us. The contact/friend list has obviously replaced the Buddy list, as it's the same names that popped up on my new list. I suppose you can check the little boxes in the right side for the ones you have frequent contact with and you consider friends.

Liz, just click on it, and you will see!

Karen, I really like the album feature, now no one has excuses for not showing their pets here - even if they don't have a Photobucket account. It will so easy to show a group of pictures that belong together.

Have not tried to attach anything yet, but saw the example you posted, it looks good.

I like that it will be easier to find things, as the search feauture doesn't always work so well. I suppose when you post a new thread, you make the tag that's related to that thread?

Yes, when you make a new thread, add tags!

Did the same- and now you are my friend officially (you have been before as well)

Once again I feel like I'm lost on a strange planet where they speak a totally different language. I don't understand anything that is being said. Think I'll go take a nap.

MOFF, you must have received one of the requests I sent too, because you were on the list of people who posted a message eons ago when my mum's cat was Cat of the Day. All you have to do is find it. You know the link that used to take you to your Private Messages? It is now "Your Notifications", and there are lots of different places under there as well as your PM's.

Have a look.

I just found it. I clicked accept and save changes but nothing happened. Did you get a message or anything? It still shows just like it did when it came in and as a new request.

On tope of the avatar box there is a little box which you have to tick before you say accept and save changes.
I agree with you- it's all very weird for me and I am glad that Freckles started that other thread asking what tags are

Thanks Barbara! I finally found it. Heaven only knows what I sent Killearn Kitties though!

Ok, now a question about the albums: how do you resize the pics to 600 pixels?
