I uploaded some using the org account and it says Added by Brenda & Mikayla. at March 24, 2009 Also, shouldn't it say on March 24, 2009 rather than at March 24, 2009? Thanks again, guys!!

NathansMom Harker Heights, TX Post #: 9,595	First of all, I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!!! Thanks for the bulk uploading feature!!! You have saved me literally hours! I don't like the old photo albums displayed on the right side.... see example instead of a nice orderly list, I have 5 albums showing, requiring more navigation to get to older albums. Ditto on this--it is annoying not to be able to see which folders were updated when. Some of our members take a while to upload pics, and so we might have new pics in a folder from a few events back, and not know. I prefer the list with the "date last updated" showing. Thanks a million!!!!!

wlj1943 Mulino, OR Post #: 4	Have you ever addressed the "Reply" situation regarding when a person uses their own mail client to send mail to the meetup group? Currrently, if the receiver clicks "reply" (as we all are in the habit of doing with all emails), it sends the reply to the whole group. There should be a default setting for this. My bet is the majority will set it to send the reply just to the sender. Thanks. I agree. I have made the same mistake

Tim_M Vancouver, WA Post #: 447	Well, the ability to comment on photos is a good thing, but the overall operation of the new Photo Album interface seems, well, much more difficult to navigate. It is harder to find galleries (Photo Albums), and it is difficult to see all of the images in an album. Any chance we can select which "Album" style we'd like to use?

MICHELLEandRUBY Dartford, GB Post #: 1,271	Ok I'm usually mostly complimentary about Meetup and their updates but the new layout in photo albums SUCKS BIG TIME! Please can you sort it out ASAP as I really hate it!!! Aside from that it doesn't work and has in fact reduced functionality. I am a member of the Preview group and usually such changes are emailed to us or run by us etc but the first I knew of this was when I went to my album and it was seriously messed up! Why do we need an enormous comments box? I much preferred the albums listed as they were previously - I have tons of albums with tons of images and now they are all shoved into a tiny little column to the right! Other than the one large image that is the album image I cannot get any of the images to show other than in tiny images in the slideshow! with "error" showing up on the left of my desktop when I click and/or double-click on any image! I have tried this on two different computers and with various programmes and it still doesn't work and looks horrendous! I have been asking for a facility to "bump" albums to the first page since I became an Organizer here - My group's photo albums are an important part of my group and I've spent many hours loading them up so that members can view them and enjoy. I'm really annoyed at what has been done to the photo album layout and hope that it will not be permanent!!!!!!!! The comments box is a good idea but why not put it inside the album under each image so that you can go in and comment not have it taking up half the album!(ok exaggeration but you get the point!) - If there is a bulk upload then that can only be a good thing for those of us that load up thousands of images! the slideshow I can live without and would much prefer to see all the images individually as they usually are.... MEETUP SUPPORT PLEASE HELP!!!! my sanity depends upon it!!! Feel free to contact me via email or phone should you wish to discuss any points of Photo albums or anyother content of the groups pages further. Kind regards, Michelle Organizer Greenwich (UK) Chihuahua & Toydog meetup with RubyScrumptious group

D.K.Maclaren West Linn, OR Post #: 170	A choice of styles would be prefered. Also a way to reorder the albums themselves (not just the pictures in each) would be appreciated or to have an album bumped to the top when a photo(s) is added to it would be nice also.Thanks.

Mom2ACrazEChild Walnutport, PA Post #: 5,743	Any chance we can select which "Album" style we'd like to use? YES PLEASE!!!! scrolling through a full album is difficult... clumsy. do you have to click on the scroll bar images to see every image? or is there another option I am not seeing? The thing is that some images are vertical, some horizontal.. the bar moves around and is awkward to maneuver. I'm totally with these members & what they pointed out! NEGATIVE SIDE: DO NOT like the LARGE image as well as how clumsy it is navigate & view the pics! Members are already complaining that they don't like how they no longer can see all the photos at one time. DO NOT like how the albums are no longer listed directly below & are now off the right & look like they are unimportant as tiny pics! DO NOT like how there is only 5 albums listed & then you have to page through yet another 5 albums! I like how we we could see a long list that had them showing as the last upload. My group has about 1-2 sometimes more events going on per DAY, & my members are HUGE on taking photos & posting them in our albums. So you can imagine how much of a nuisance this is to have to go back through several pages to find something that happened last week when you're only allowing us to view 5 at a time! POSITIVE SIDE: Love the UPLOAD feature now! THANK YOU THANK YOU!! When we have big events & have a member taking a lot of photos...alot of us have resorted to making our own Shutterfly account to upload all their photos there since Meetups takes soo long! You've made us so happy with this!!! The comment box is a great idea! (needs to be smaller & somehow shown when the photo is clicked onto(sort of like Facebook has) There's really no need to take up that wasted space when we could have the albums listed as they were before. Just my thoughts!
