Hi all!
Please use this thread to ask questions and report any issues with the new mobile skin, photo uploader, or gallery tools.
Here are a few details and how-to's on uploading and viewing photos in the new galleries. (NOTE: you can still access all your existing photo galleries by bookmarking this link:
RC Photo Gallery - Featuring pictures of RCU members rc cars, rc trucks, rc planes, rc helicopters, rc jets, rc engines and radios.)
Gallery Pages (New!)
We're upgrading the gallery page to show you more photos all at once. You can now also browse by new options such as “Trending,””Recent,” “Commented,””Popular,” and your own “Albums.” This will allow you to have a custom experience with the new Gallery.
On single photo pages you will see the photo you selected, but it's more than just that; you will also be able to discover related photos, comment, see trending pictures, and also see other photos in the same album.
Uploading photos to your Gallery Page
On the page with your albums and where you upload images, you can upload your photos in many ways:
1. Drag and drop photos directly onto the page
2. Upload your photo with a URL
3. Attach photos from your device
Photo Uploader (New!)
With the new uploader you can now upload your photos in more ways:
1. Drag and drop your photo (New!)
2. Select photos already uploaded to an album in the new gallery (New!)
3. Upload your photos with a URL (same as before)
4. Attach photos from your device (same as before)
Uploading from your mobile phone (New!)
You can now use your phone's camera to upload a photo immediately after it's taken.
Arranging your photos
Once your photos are uploaded, you will be able to drag them around to rearrange them in the album, tag, and delete your photos. You can also "lock" your photos, which will prevent them from showing up in the public gallery. If you want more members to be able to enjoy your photos, leave them unlocked.
Once the attachment process is completed, select the paperclip icon to show a dropdown menu with the option to paste your photos in-line within your post, making the user experience more efficient in adding and managing your photos from all device types.
MOBILE SKIN ENHANCEMENTS
In the NEW mobile skin, we have made it easier for you to navigate on the forums! For example, on the main forum page you will be able to expand and collapse forum headings to access subforums within (with out loading another page like before).
We’ve also made some improvements to the sub-forum pages where you can start browsing different threads in a much cleaner lay out with segmented color coded sections.
These changes are designed to be small, incremental improvements to make it easier to differentiate different types of forum text content, and make browsing easier on your mobile device.
Please let us know if you have any issues or concerns.
