New Photos at Flickr.com

[pollensa]

Dear all,

with the kind help of Rob we now have a facility to upload & share our photos (on Pollensa of course).

It is a bit fiddly so I've set up this forum in order to help you use it. Hopefully Rob & anyone else who gets the hang of it will help out.

Basically we have created a Private group on www.flickr.com This site is now owned by Yahoo so you will need to sign-up to yahoo to use it. The Group is at www.flickr.com/groups/pollensaforum/ but you will need a logon & be a member of the group to access it.

Once you have a flickr id (please use the same as on the forum) you will both be able to upload your photos for your own use & share them with friends, family & insert them into your posts AND join the 'Pollensa Forum' Group where you can view the group's photos & add your own if you choose to.

Further instructions below.

So thank you Rob.

Can I just say a big "Thank you" to Rob who, with amazing patience, talked us through the process of adding photos to the Flickr site last night.

It must have been very frustrating for him dealing with me late last night, via chat, but we got there in the end!

The site is fantastic - a really great addition to the website and the forum and I would urge people to go take a look and ask to join up. It's great seeing other people's photos on there and really adds to the sense of community I feel on here.

Well done Rob and thanks again!
Jane

Pollensa,

What about us all voting for the best 12 photos and then seeing if we can get the "shop" to make and sell a calender

Probably need to make sure the owner of the phooto is cool about it bing used and that we don't include ones of people without their permission

just a thought

 

[jiggy]

[robjay]

Thank you Debz, yes I do "go very high" not bad for a bloke with a fear of hights:eek . I enjoy facing my fear as the photographs show :lol .
Take care.

Well done Rob,

It took a while for me to work out how to use this new section, but I've finally managed it.:lol

It's very good

[jiggy]

Thanks for the invite Rob
A great addition to a great site!

 

[robjay]

I'm glad both Jiggy and Timberman have found the new section to be so much fun.
I'm looking forward to seeing both your photographs.
I heard a comment in the room the other night about the new section it went somehting like this:

J: what do you think of the photo section "S"?
S: It's great! cant wait to add my photogrphs
J: Yes it is now we'll all be going to PP and taking pictures with the Photo forum in mind

I for one look forward to seeing these photographs. I for one would be really interested in seing photographs that show the changes that have taken place in PP over the past 40 odd years. If you have any old pictures/postcards why not scan them and add them to the Photo Forum. i'm sur I'm not the only one that would be interested in seeing them.

Take care.

Rob

 

[diver val]

help needed.

just logged on and registered with yahoo, But screen shows that its a private page, so not available to me!

can anyone advise please?

diver val

 

[robjay]

Val send me your e-mail address and I'll send you an invitation.
Any one else who wishes to "Join" the Photograph section of the forum, simply send your e-mail address to me or Pollensa, we will ensure that you are sent an invitation to join to your e-mail address. You must do the same as Val and sign up for a yahoo account.
Can I ask that ONLY if you can't have the same screen name as you use on the forum then you try adding "_PP" to your flikr screen name. You DON'T have to add _PP to your flickr screen name if you can have the same screen name as on the forum. Is that as clear as mud?:rollin

A challenge for you ......... when does a comment against a photo really become a discussion thread ?????

Chrislox and I have been communicating via Flikr re. the photo of the "Miami House" but it occurs to me that the content of our discussion could actually be a discussion thread and be of interest to others on the forum ......... and I guess many many more photos will also spawn discussions ......... now I love to see comments against the photos but I do think the forum itself is a better place to actually have discussions and I certainly don't want to be keeping track of 2 forums as well as the chat room ......... so is there any way that the photos comments can include a link to the forum or vice versa ........ coz we don't want to have to copy over every photo we want to post threads about either

Am I making sense ???? and are you the genious who can figure out how to make this work ???????

 

[robjay]

Cd if you are discussing a photograph and it's merits then yes that is the right place. If you are then talking about the place and it's merits then yes maybe the forum is the better place for that. Do I make sense?:rollin :rollin :rollin .
The Photo Forum is there to showcase Puerto Pollensa and areas Your Photostream is there to showcase your personal photograhs. but most of all they are there to provide fun, don't allow it to create work for you.
Take care.
Rob

I May have managed to download some photos - more by luck than judgement at this stage - but I think only "friends" can see them - well its a start!! Please let me know if I have been successful!!:rolleyes think I may have managed a few "public" ones too now!

 

[pollensa]

Belladonna,

there is no need to make your photos public unless you want to. But you need to send any appropriate ones (suitable to showcase the Pollensa area) to the Group pollensaforum for the group to view them. Look at the other topic at the top of this forum for more info,

Hi
I really like the sound of the Flickr group so I have followed you advice and got a Yahoo name and all that but unfortunatrly could not get the same as my forum name. When I click on the flickr group link on this page I am told it is a private group and dont have access. What am I doing wrong or even not doing.
Many Thanks
Ken Fraser
