Attention All Pixies - Gallery Changes
We are about to make some serious changes to our gallery here on PHF.
The gallery software that we are presently using has been discountinued by it's creator. We have already closed down being able to load new images or make new comments to the gallery. If you have any images you don't wish to loose that's been uploaded to the gallery, please save them to your computer or in your profile albums. Everything hosted only in the gallery will be lost. So don't wait to save your images. Thanks to those that have donated to PHF and helping with the large cost of keeping such a large fansite online. We have a little extra funds right now and this money is going to be used to buy us a new gallery software which is by far a huge improvement over our old one. Those familar with our gallery on TTC, POF, VMKF, or CPF will be quite familar with it. You'll be able to create albums and private albums for hosting your images. There is easy to use search features as well as slideshow functions, rating, comment sections, as well as dozens of other functions and features to make the entire area a much easier navigations as well as user-friendly gallery to use. We know that many of you are presently using profile albums and it will take some time to get used to using the new gallery. We will still have profile albums, so no need to worry about loosing anything stored there. It'll just be an easier way of uploading, storing, and displaying your images off to all your many friends here at PHF. Jezzi will be posting up some new guides how to navigate the new gallery in the site guides forum soon to help everyone get started. We hope all of you are excited about this change as we are. Thanks to all of you for your cooperation as we continue to make improvements to the site. With any hope, Nick will be able to get to adding this new gallery and do the switch within the next week. He also needs to do some site software upgrades, so not sure if it'll be this weekend or perhaps next. Thanks to all of you for making this the largest and best Pixie Hollow fansite online! |

I'm probably going to review the size and file size we have setup for profile albums and make adjustments from there. The new gallery will allow for much larger images and file sizes. |

Right on! Way to go! I'm going to go get all my pictures out of the gallery now.
I know we don't all use the gallery that often, but remember we did have the Trio Contest last year and all images from that were loaded there.

I'm a little confused. We will lose everything we have for our albums but not profile albums? What are those? Are those what paying pixies have? Please and thanks!

Concern--
Will the pictures be high in quality when we upload them to the albums? |

Profile albums are basically mini-galleries on your profile here on PHF. If you click your name (at the top of this page, right above your "last visited -whenever you last visited PHF-) you will go to your profile. Then you can scroll down that page (on the right side) and you should see info-friends-albums in that order. You can click on Albums and upload photos to there. Hope that helped! Anyone can use the albums on their profile as long as they are a member of PHF. Anyone who is a member of PHF can also view your albums and comment there.

Thanks for letting us know Batleth! I don't think I have any pictures in the gallery, so I guess I am okay.

Anyway, the new gallery will upload the images just as they are. We've been using this new gallery on many of our other sites for many years and have had very few complaints. It will store just about any image file type including animated images without altering them. Of course, we will have to be a limit on size and file size but it should be larger than the profile albums. If you wish to browse TTC's Gallery, you can get a preview of how it'll look. You should be able to view the gallery there without having to sign up. |
