<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 1941101, member: 19065&quot;]Things about uploading photos... Showcase vs. Albums (Create an Album).</p><p><br /></p><p>It appears options for uploading photos differs in these two features. It is limited to locally uploading images from a desktop file when you &quot;Create an album&quot; but in Showcase you can upload photos locally stored on your computer using the &#039;upload photo to gallery&#039; button, which then creates a tabbed page of images posted in the Showcase, or you can enter a URL in the &quot;General Information&quot; box, allowing remotely stored images to appear in this tab.</p><p><br /></p><p>In Showcase, on the General Information page, I could upload via a link (URL) to images hosted on other sites, the way I post all of my images to CT, from a Photobucket account. In this aspect it&#039;s just like commenting in any forum thread and adding a link to the body of your post. When doing this, the Showcase item doesn&#039;t have an additional tab for &quot;photos&quot;, just one General Information page.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, in attempting to &quot;create an album&quot; there appears to be no way to link images hosted on other sites, limiting those of us who post images in this way.</p><p><br /></p><p>Furthermore, just after creating a Showcase the item wasn&#039;t added immediately. Is there a delay before it appears on CT? The only way to find the Showcase item I added was to hunt though the links on my user profile page.It&#039;s there and viewable but not in the location where I thought I created the Showcase.</p><p><br /></p><p>Incidentally, will the ability of a user to &quot;edit&quot; expire the way forum threads do after a set period of time? Or can a showcase item be deleted at any time, say if one sells the coin or has other reasons to remove it from the forum/showcase?</p><p><br /></p><p>I have to say that having so many tabs all over for images we host is a bit confusing knowing which one is doing what. I note that we now have two tabs on our profile page for &quot;showcase&quot; and &quot;photos&quot; and inside &quot;photos&quot; you have &quot;albums&quot; and &quot;photos&quot; (again) and &quot;videos&quot; and &quot;tagged photos&quot;... then on the top of the CT pages you have &quot;gallery&quot; and &quot;showcase&quot;... is anyone else feeling dizzy from so many options for the same thing, yet? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie86" alt=":snaphappy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
