"Show us your pics" sub-forums?

[MacSimoin]

I don't know if this has ever been suggested (running a site of my own I know it can be time consuming to make the changes) but I think the "Show us your pics" sub-forum in the Kilt Pictures section could use an 'upgrade' or expansion. It seems there's an ever-increasing amount of photos being posted that aren't exactly kilt-related; there's nothing wrong or untoward with users doing that but as a suggestion I feel the pics section could be sub-divided into 3 sub-forums:

Show Us Your Pics
Kilt photos <---photos of users in kilts only
Kilt Accessories <---kilt pins, jackets, sporrans, etc
Miscellanea <---specifically non-kilt related photos. i.e. festivals, home or holiday pics, etc

Overall, I think it would probably benefit new users most of all but even those of us who've been around here a little while might find the changes useful when we're trying to reference the subject of a previously posted photo...finding what we're looking for would be a bit easier.

Again, it's just a suggestion. Any thoughts from the guys behind the curtain?

Well I know I have been saying this for a while...but, I still plan on adding a gallery back like we had on the old forum. I just have to upgrade this vB to the newest version before I can do it. It is in the works and in the background so keep your eyes peeled...

Hey Hank,

Thanks!

Don't know much techie stuff, but when that does come to pass hope there'll be an option of uploading from my computer instead of having to post to another gallery then copy to X Marks.....?

Appreciate all you do with all you have on your plate.

Ditto.

How about a sub forum for photos of X Marks the Scot tartan kilts where the pics would stay put rather than be rotated out as new pics were posted?

Think we're all proud of our X Marks Tartans and the more that are made up the more others will be encouraged to invest in one.

I've managed to accumulate pics of a few, but know there are a lot more out there still being sewn up.

In the past I've posted one or two photo album posts under "Off Topic" where there have been no kilts in any of the views but I have found that when I have done so very few people seemed to be interested enough to look at the thread as they would have no way of knowing that the post contained pictures. I think photo posts should always go in "Show us your Pictures" but as has been suggested maybe there is at least a need to subdivide these into "kilts" and "no kilts". Even then this can be a grey area as there could be a dozen pictures of a castle with no kilts in eleven of them and one of our members appearing kilted in the twelfth one.

aye... this may be a cessna/Pour1malt/Derek issue... but...

gaein tae castles arr pubs arr towers arr distilleries arr whit-e'er....

One of the purposes of using a third party site for photos is that it saves space on Xmarks.

I don't know if the administrators are working with space limitations or not but there could be cost implications of bringing photo hosting in house.

They will no doubt let us know.
