Gallery

[Slipdigit]

Please don't think that I am trying to push you, Adam. I just want to make sure that the gallery remains a part of the forum.

I like pictures, they're fun to use with my color crayons.

Right chaps,
I've had a word with Otto and the Gallery falls under one of the dozens of organisational things that have become apparent since he saved the forum from being given away to another anonymous owner that we're currently sorting out. Nothing that should affect members in any significant way, but a great deal that needs to be done, and this is one of the more noticeable bits of strangeness that we need to make work properly. The site changed hands six times before finding our current safe & stable harbour and was merged with other forums twice, these things have left traces that are now being ironed out.
The 'bolt on' software that forms the gallery was never installed or set up correctly by the previous administration. Nothing really works as it should right down to the simple ability to rotate images.
There has to be some investment before much can be done to rectify the mess it was left in. The gallery will be re-installed and upgraded and the software company itself will hopefully be involved with the sorting out. The likely timescale for this is within the next couple of months, nothing's perfect but it WILL be dealt with as soon as possible.

None of this will, of course, help with identifying the photographs , that's down to all of us, but there is a commitment to at least provide the tools to ease the process and make the gallery a pleasant place to use rather than the useless heap of images it is now.

Cheers,
Adam.

Thanks for the explanation, Adam.

When you get the gallery stood up correctly, I am willing to work on naming the pics, if y'all will risk letting a Yank having a hand at it.

I think I can spell Bernard Law Montgomery without putting "Old Maid" in his name.

In light of this little well-known tidbit, it is amazing to me that there those who took issue with Otto "taking over" (as it was phrased in a certain PM sent by or on the behalf of a certain nameless Scotsman).

the section ww 2 in colour, Germany # 1311 of the backwards taken Ju 88G-6 is under Danish copyright and needs to be removed at once !

Erich, unfortunately we do not have admin access to gallery. The previous owner, the same one who uploaded the image in question here, wasn't able to remember the password for the gallery and therefore we do not have access to the image gallery. In the coming months however we will be purchasing a new software licence and addressing issues like this one here.

That's choice. Stand up a site and not keep basic records of mildly important aspects of the site. I guess that partially explains why he would never respond to me.
