G'day! I was just thinking it would be cool to have photo galleries and journals! Thisis what I mean:

Photo galleries:

All registered members could have their own photo gallery where they can upload as many or as few photos as they would like. Other members can view the photos at any time and thats about it! You could also give each photo a bref desciption and title!

Journals

We could all keep out own online horse forum journals if we want to. These we can post pictures in exc. exc. You could choose the status: Public or private. If it is private you could specify users you would like to enable to see the journal, but if none you'd leave the box black. If you choose public you could choose members you'd prefer not to view the entry and give a ood reason, if it is a good reason, approved by the mods those people wouldn't be able to view it.

How do these ideas sound???

If you click on the members photos link to the right of your screen you'll find lots of albums to look through ;) Not sure how current they are now, but the facility is there. :)

The journal idea was brought up not so long ago; problem is that content cannot be moderated, which does leave it open to abuse (the mods do end up picking the pieces up on the forums fairly often after personal arguments and issues are brought onto the forums; it wouldn't take much for journals to cause problems :( ). I go on another board with a blog section; some feel it takes away from teh board since members post in blogs instead of on the board.

There are however lots of sites where you can blog, and you can link to a blog in your signature (a few members do already do this).

On the right of your screen, there is a box outlined in blue, with a sky blue bar at the top that says "Site Links". Members photos is one from the bottom :)

G'day! Thank You! I assume you meant 'quick links' because thats all I could find. Anyway I clicked on it and on the bottom one and it said 'who's online' and come up with everyones name. I don't think this is the one you meant. Are you sure that is where it is???

Don't look at the bar on top. Look to the right side of your screen.
