It aint the same at all from where I'm looking.
I found it easier cos on facebook you can choose an album from the entire gallery, click on it and then when you click on an individual photo it opens up a really big clear version. And if, as BossMom says peeps have tagged themselves, their names are just there underneath.
That is tons easier than clicking on the event, then clicking on photos, then having to open the tagged tag icon to get a slightly larger piccy with names on.
...but maybe that's just old fuddy duddy me and my steam powered laptop
I have a new all singing laptop and I feel the same mini ...
Much prefer just to have one big pic with the tagging on ... Need to see who is who tho ... Confusing point will be that real names are used on Facebook
I simply don't like the fact that anyone can view the photos on Facebook, whereas on here they can only be viewed by members, but that is something I have taken up with Matt anyway. I "unliked" the page to try and stop all my BM photos being visible to family and friends but it turns out they are completely public on facebook anyway
Vanessa... just untag your photos on the Facebook page and your family/friends will never know! What are they gonna do, go trawling through thousands of photos on a facebook page they've never heard of just to find a photo of you? And if they're really that bothered to try and find a photo of you, what are they gonna see that's so bad??
Also, if you untag a photo (when someone else has added a tag) then nobody else can tag you again in that photo.
Re the layout.... I'm not Facebook, there's no team of developers making BikerMatch. It's just little old me. Facebook is an enormous multi-BILLION dollar company who can afford to employ teams of engineers to make a nice fancy photo system.
I spent weeks making the events gallery we have here, day and night on my own... and I tried my best to get the tags to appear on the popup version of the image... but I just couldn't do it. When i got it working in one browser it would mess up another one. I had to give up eventually
There have been some fab pictures uploaded just recently.
Any chance if some of those (with people's permisson first) could be up loaded onto FB.
I really think that photos from; e.g. the Yorkshire weekend and Borwick Hall would look great on there and help to promote BM a little bit more
Not a problem, but I would like to add.
I was promoting BM to biker pals at the weekend and when they looked at the FB page, they weren't very inspired by a photo of a peacock and a monkey....lol They were too lazy to to look much further than that!!!
