Photos


 

I have one more question regarding photos. If you add photos to a members album does the group announce it to other members?


I know yahoo does this. Not sure how other members will know to look at new photos there?


Thanks


Anita?


 

Anita,

other members?
No automatic announcement is made, to mods or to members.

There is a goal of improving the notification system, but that wouldn't be the same as posting an announcement to the group. This would more likely be a mods/member's choice to be notified of certain events.


I know yahoo does this.
Do you mean the nightly "Updates in Your Groups" message?

Not sure how other members will know to look at new photos there?
You can always just post a message.

Shal thanks. I think I will just post a message to the group that I put new photos in.

Yes yahoo would send a notice the next day after anyone put photos in.

I think moderators need to be notified if all members are allowed to post photos, but readers ignore the automatic yahoo announcements. Better if someone posts to describe or give reasons for the photos being posted. People are more likely to look at them.

That's the "Updates in your Groups" email I mentioned.

Hopefully the planned notification overhaul in Groups.io will provide superior functionality to that. Choice of which events to include, and choice of web, email and/or text notification, and for email choice of immediate notification versus daily summary should all be in the member's notification options.

At least, that's what I'm hoping for... ;-)

I recall the photo notification option being on the todo list. But I'm having no luck with Trello anyway so I'm not sure.

Mark will announce it in updates@

But before that, for a feature this large, he's likely to announce it in beta@ and ask people to test it and comment on it. I would expect a flurry of comment for this feature -- there has already been quite a lot of opinion expressed as to how it should work.

Came here to ask for it. As I recall Yahoo had thumbnails of recently posted photos, didn’t they? I just looked and I don’t see it.

We need to know when a new photo goes in since we can’t sort to get that feature. With my Pinterest I can sort so albums with new photos are at the top, I like that!!

Nancy,

We need to know when a new photo goes in since we can’t sort to get
that feature.
There's a wishlist item for a feature like Y!Groups' Photostream. That gives you a single list of all photos in chronological order.


Perhaps more to the point, there's a longstanding request for a "notifications overhaul". The intent behind that is to give you a place online (with optional email) to look for changes in your group. Such as new photos added.


And of course, a request to be able to moderate uploads to features like Photos and Files independent of message moderation.
