I agree with others above. Also, when I post a layout that is a scraplift of a layout in the ACOT gallery, I would like to be able to include a photo of the layout I scraplifted. I have not been able to figure out how to do that -- is that possible? Or if I am using a sketch from Pinterest, is there a way to include a photo of that sketch? I have only been able to figure out how to add photos from my own computer hard drive. Thanks!

I always save them to my computer and then upload on the additional spaces after I upload my layout. There are 5 file spaces available. 

Thank you -- I figured out how to save a LO in the gallery to my laptop! Than I couldn't find it on my laptop, thought it would be in with photos since it was a jpeg file, but it was in downloads. Yay!

I have been able to do that.  I just save the layout I am lifting on my laptop and then add it as the second Choose File. 

Thank you -- I think I figured it out!

I like it as is and I find it very user friendly. I tend not to use my page title for the subject line and instead put the month then title of the challenge if its for a challenge. I'd like maybe if that were a second topic line, so we could post more than a, for example, limit of 4, it it were ACOT challenge, or NSD, etc. In other words both topic lines would need filled for the " no limit" to kick in. Even if there still is a limit, I'd like to give credit to the hostess by listing the challenge.

Here's something that I just thought of after reading Sharon's post....Title.  When I type in a title, sometimes I use all caps, but the gallery won't let me type it that way.  It would be nice to type in the actual title or sentiment the way it is displayed on the project.

After reading the comments about upload limit, it gave me an idea. Many galleries have a separate category for Design Team layouts (or those applying to be Guest Designer that aren't regular board members) and Member layouts.  That way the front page doesn't get completely overtaken with mass postings. It's just a thought. The upload limit would help, as well.

Oh yes. This reminds me that I have a layout titled JJ and the gallery would absolutely not let me post the double caps and I had to title it Jj. I would like to be able to do the all caps so her name is correct in the title.

I like the suggestion of being able to answer someone's comment because sometimes they ask a question and it would be nice to be able to answer it right there. And of course also that that person would be notified that they got a response to their comment.

Thanks for asking what we would like to see!!! I know we all appreciate being able to have some input ! I agree with all the things already posted here.
I would like to emphasize the fact that some people don’t have a computer and are using a phone or laptop.
If there is a way to attach your layout from the gallery to a MB thread I would love to know how!

I'd like a 'food' category when uploading layouts. I usually put them in the vacation folder because that's when I usually take food photos but that's not really where they should go in my opinion.

Thanks for asking!

Had another thought as I was searching in the gallery.  We have thousands of pages of layouts.  Would it be possible to put in a dropdown menu so we could choose a gallery page by typing in the number, rather than having to click on them 5 pages at a time?  It takes a long time to go back very far. This would be helpful if you wanted to go way back, you know?

I love this idea!

I have on occasion wanted to comment back on a comment that was left or answer a question and don't see a way to do that. That would be great.  Also maybe a way to just like a comment

Great ideas that I would like to see too!  And the ability to edit.

Yes Yes Yes Please!!!!   

Is there any way to reorganize our own albums?  Mine are not in date order so it is frustrating sometimes to find something.   
I would also like a dedicated thread on how to use the gallery.  Rules, courtesies, how to upload, how to transfer photos to MB, How to change profiles, etc.  

I appreciate being asked for our input.   I really agree with everything that's been said above!

 

[Flasher]

Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh!   Can we PLEASE have an option/way to delete an album?   Pretty, pretty please?  With a cherry on top? 

[beachlover]

Being able to edit a comment that we left instead of having to delete it and start again if we made a mistake or left something out that we wanted to say.

yes, good iidea!!!  my cat is always jumping on my laptop so anytime I post anywhere here, I sound like a drunken fool!

[aheatfan]

Just had another thought... on occasion when I'm needing an idea, it would be great if you could search layout by the number of photos on the page. This could be a jumping off point in design when you are stuck!!

[1scrappymom]

I'd love if there was an easier way to link product. If you could do a search by name (manufacturer) then it would be easier to find it rather than trying to find the number.

Ooh...yes!  Great idea!

YES, I store layouts in folders on my computer by how many photos are on the layout.   I would also like to see a search for TWO PAGE layouts.

yes, when first started using the gallery I answered back on the comments but soon realized that person was not going to see it! 

There is quite a learning curve of adding photos to the messageboard. So different from what everyone is doing on facebook, insta, etc. I have also found limitations with mobile devices in copying a link vs. the image. I certainly do not have the answer for an easy fix for this, but since just starting to add things to the gallery and participate in challenges a couple months ago those are the dilemmas I had in the beginning. It took me about 3 days of hit and misses to get my photo for my profile, and I still need to add some fun to my signature block. maybe some youtube tutorials would help there as well.

I agree. I really have a hard time uploading and once I figure it out the image is upside down etc. I used to use a website to upload that is no longer valid and now I struggle using my iPhone to upload.
