Some questions

 

? We wish to be very prepared for questions from our members when we launch CampOn. Here are things we are not sure of. Thank you for your answers.?


1. If a person is already a member of CampOn and is a moderator or owner, does their moderator status result in a duplicate entry in CampOn?
2. Is the record of an owner transferred along with their membership from Camp2 to CampOn?
3. Is a sub-domain free? If it has photos are they counted in our 1 GB allotment? Do we just sign up for one as we signed up for Groups.io?
4. Do hash tags take up memory?
5. In our yahoo group we approve photos, but we cannot find a place to approve them in CampOn. Are we missing something?
6. We are unfamiliar with wiki, although I just read a description of it. My reaction is we do not need it. Any thoughts on that? Our members are older, mostly, and some can barely handle email. Does wiki take up some of our memory?
7. Could you give us an estimate of how many photos would fit in 1 GB when they are reduced to?about the 300x300?level? This is the only sticking point I can see with our members, but we do plan to explain to them that this is not a site for photo storage, just for photo sharing, and deletion when we need more space. But an estimate would help.
8. Is there a way to delete photos by date they were put on Camp.on? As in deleting oldest ones first? And do you offer that service, or do we delete them ourselves?
9. Do hashtags take up some of our memory? I know that files and databases do. We will not be allowing attachments.

If that person is already a member on io, nothing is copied. If they're not on io, all of their settings are copied. There will be one entry per email address, which is how members are identified. If they are a member here, but used a different email address, they will have another entry.

2. Is the record of an owner transferred along with their membership from
Camp2 to CampOn?
I'm not sure about this, but it should be, unless they're already a member on io.

3. Is a sub-domain free? If it has photos are they counted in our 1 GB

I think you mean a subgroup. You can have as many on a free group as you want. Storage is allocated per main group, so all the items that use it in subgroups will count against the total. You create subgroups using the menu for administrators.

4. Do hash tags take up memory?
Hashtags don't count against storage.

5. In our yahoo group we approve photos, but we cannot find a place to
approve them in CampOn. Are we missing something?
This isn't currently an option. It is on Mark's TODO list at some point.

6. We are unfamiliar with wiki, although I just read a description of it.
My reaction is we do not need it. Any thoughts on that? Our members are
older, mostly, and some can barely handle email. Does wiki take up some of
our memory?
Only photos in the Wiki take storage space, text doesn't.

7. Could you give us an estimate of how many photos would fit in 1 GB when
they are reduced to?about the 300x300?level? This is the only sticking
point I can see with our members, but we do plan to explain to them that
this is not a site for photo storage, just for photo sharing, and deletion
when we need more space. But an estimate would help.
After the option became available, I set my groups to resize photos (on the Settings page) to 312x312. One group currently has 546 photos, taking up 25MB. That means I should be able to have about 20,000 photos, if I only stored photos. Since I also use files and other things that use storage, it will be somewhat less.

8. Is there a way to delete photos by date they were put on Camp.on? As in
deleting oldest ones first? And do you offer that service, or do we delete
them ourselves?
You'd need to delete photos manually. There's not currently a way to do bulk deletes (other than deleting an entire album), so it can be time consuming. Bulk delete is also on the TODO list. (BTW, this is a user-to-user group, not an official support group of io, so we can't do anything you can't.)

9. Do hashtags take up some of our memory? I know that files and databases
do. We will not be allowing attachments.
See #4 above.

When I go to my test photo album, as an NEW owner, I don't see how I can delete my own photo.

What am I missing?? Thanks -?

Tamra
 

To delete an individual photo, you have to view it, then select Edit below, then choose Delete.? When viewing the album, you have the option there to delete the entire album.
