<p>[QUOTE=&quot;josh&#039;s coins, post: 1941068, member: 51487&quot;]In case you have not yet notice the beloved creator of CoinTalk [USER=1]@Peter T Davis[/USER] has provided us with TWO new Features. They can be found right next to &quot;Forums&quot; at the top just below the CT logo. They are called <b>Gallery</b> and <b>Showcase</b>.</p><p><br /></p><p>I will first teach you about the Gallery. Here you will be able to create an album and upload photos of your coins there. So without further due here is the Gallery.[ATTACH=full]336686[/ATTACH]</p><p>It has been a few hours since launch and some members already created some neat albums. I have created the <u>NGC and PCGS Registry sets albums</u>. Within these Albums any member can post photos there. The default setting is that only you can upload photos but you have the option to change that. Now if you want to add photos of your registry set to the page simply click add photos and then select the file from your computer and they will upload to the album.[ATTACH=full]336687[/ATTACH]</p><p>Next if you want to create your own Album click on Create new album at the top right. You will be taken to a page just like the one shown below.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]336688[/ATTACH]</p><p>I wrote down some information before I took the picture. I will expand of <b>&quot;Streams&quot;</b>. These are essentially tags that allow people to find your album quicker. For instance if you write Morgan dollar in the streams box everyone that searches Morgan dollar will see your album under the search results. Please note that if you want to add more than 1 stream you have to separate them using a comma,</p><p><br /></p><p>So that is all there is to it for the Gallery feature. But there is one last thing. not only can you add photos but you can also upload videos as well. I think this could be a great educational resource fairly soon.</p><p><br /></p><p>Moving on to the Showcase. The showcase feature is a place where members can rate your coins on a basis of 1-5 stars. If you want to add your coin to the showcase click on create item.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]336689[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>So once you click on create item you will be taken to the page below.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]336690[/ATTACH]</p><p>Just as before I added some information inside the photo that you should read. once you fill out the General information, description, and name of your coin it is time to upload some photos. Click on Upload images to Gallery in the bottom middle. Then select the files from your computer. Once the photos finish uploading click on create item. Your Coin will now be displayed in the showcase.</p><p><br /></p><p>The next step is the rating feature. Once you uploaded that fancy coin that is going to make everyone drool you get to sit back and see what the CT community thinks. They can rate your coin in the showcase anywhere between 1 and 5 stars. While you wait to see if your coin is the best around you can vote on other members coins in the showcase. To do this you must click on the coin that is in the showcase.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]336819[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Once you finish examining the photos and reading the General information click on Rate this item at the bottom middle. As soon as you do that a small box appears allowing you to rate the coin 1,2,3,4,or 5 stars. Once you decided on how many stars a coin receives click on submit rating and you are done!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]336820[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Rate carefully as you can never revise your rating.</p><p><br /></p><p>The next part to the showcase feature is the alerts. The red flag will display above the showcase tab and not under your actual alerts. If you find that these alerts are annoying just make the following changes shown below and those alerts that you don&#039;t want will be gone.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]336871[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s all there is to it with the showcase feature.I think this will be a very popular feature among the community. The reason being is that I believe it is a great way to show off our prized collections but at the same time decide who has the greatest coins in town. So there may be some competition around here with everyone trying to get the best coins to get the highest ratings. it should be interesting.</p><p><br /></p><p>I hope everyone enjoys these new features. Give thanks to all of our CT supporter Members that made these features a reality on CoinTalk.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
