Search feature now available

You can now search the Gallery by user name. You'll find the search feature on the Browse All Galleries page, below the thumbnails.

Type in all or part of the member name you're looking for, and you should get a list of results.

This will help if you're looking for a specific gallery and don't want to hunt through the thumbnails one by one.

Jan,

That is brilliant ... thank you !!

Thanks Jan.

I have one (probably stupid) question ...... What if we do not know the user name of the person in the gallery since it is a different user name than in the forum?

Just thinking ..... would it be possible to display the usernames in the gallery as is done in the Gallery Home Page?

By the way, I think this Gallery idea is stupendous and I am continually in awe of the work displayed. Only problem is, my time spent "cruising" this website has significantly increased. :lol:

Hi Kathy,
Yes, displaying the names would be ideal, but I'm told it can't be done.... (not what I like to hear :wink: )

We're still making adjustments and tweaks, so maybe we can come up with another solution!

Jan,

I wonder if it is then possible for us to change our "Galley User Names" to the same "User Names" we have on the forum ?

Wonderful Jan.

Wendy, I think it's the best idea to use the same name as in the forum. I just use my regular name and sometimes find it confusing when people have different names. ops: Never was very good at remembering names.

I would suggest if you want fellow forum members to visit your gallery, just put the link to it in your forum sig. It's super easy to do and will mean there will be no mistakes. In your gallery management page just click Share Your Gallery and you'll be taken to a (newly updated) page that not only lets you email your gallery but it also gives you the URL that you should use when linking to it. Put this into your sig and you'll be set.

Example:

View my gallery

Believe it or not there are a lot of folks at this site that don't use the forums, so not everyone is as tightly knit. They probably just want to share their gallery with their friends and family.

(Names under the thumbnails in the browse page might seem useful now, but when there are 10,000 members it will be completely useless. And from what I'm seeing by looking at the database, it's rapidly growing. What I can do is add support for full names, so you could search for something that might be a little more likely. Let us know!)

call me stupid, but I just went into my profile, added the link to my gallery in the signature area, said YES to always attach my signature and it doesn't show up here? What am I missing???

Also below the checkmark is there for attach signature. ops:

[Pauline]

hey, what do you know..........there it is all of a sudden!! It's not the same as yours jonknee, but the link is there. That will make things much easier if everyone does it that way!!

Pauline,

If you want text to appear in place of the url (e.g. View My Gallery) then:

Put [color=blue] in front of the url
Add the url e.g. http://www.photoshopelementsuser.com...ry.php?user=67
Put a ] after the url
Type your text
Then put

Mike
