This feedback is based upon 4.3 Gallery.  

1.  Close button when uploading images.

Notice the overlapping X's

2.  When creating albums > Submissions > Anyone can submit to this album.  

This isn't clear.  Do you literally mean everybody, including guests?  Or do you only mean all registered users?  

3.  Invite-Only Albums: who is invited??  how do I invite??  

4.  Private Album: private to who??  

5.  When Creating Albums > Privacy > I want to choose which groups can submit to this album

What if I select groups that don't include me?  I got an error during uploading when I selected groups that didn't include me.  

6.  Moderate albums from category view to hide / feature / pin / delete / move.  

7.  Mobile View can still be better.  

File description and reaction area is unbalanced to Comments box.    

I'm also experiencing this:

 

I wish there was a simple enable/disable toggle to turn the abomination that is the light box on/off. It's truly a pain in the arse to come out of it and get to the 'normal image and comments view'. I still haven't figured it out, it often takes you back to the Gallery index yet other times it will take you to the normal image view. However, when you can access the normal image view, the touch slide to flick between images works great. It seems to have all the details the light box has and you can get to the full image, see the comments clearer instead of all squished up.

It depends on where you click on the Lightbox.  

Really? Thanks, I had no idea. I use an iPad most of the time which may explain it.

Yeah you can click on gallery images in any of the locations: 

Image feed block

Gallery index

Album list view

Album page

Update on my feedback using 4.3 Gallery

Move between images when editing images: it's not easy to move between images to edit details.  You have to manually select image-by-image using mouse.  Wish there was keyboard actions to quickly move forward / backwards

It was actually easier to move to the next image in 4.2's gallery.

Please make this stupid easy to use and contribute to on mobile. Please make COPYRIGHT and AUTHOR optional. It's so lame that this is hard coded in! (check out instagram =P )

 

On mobile when i scroll to the bottom of a gallery i get shot back to top and its crazy hard to use! This happens on all androids i've tested with in firefox/chrome.

Gallery lightbox on mobile is difficult to use. I think it's because it's a popup over an existing page. Scrolling through comments is also tough. Desktop seems ok.

Two new items for feedback on gallery:

• When adding a copyright / credit / tag during "Add Images," add a visual cue if an item is saved.  Right now, you can't tell if a copyright is added and saved.

Can you tell which two items I added??  I sure can't.  (Trick question!  I only added item to one of the settings.)

 

• Add filter to gallery categories for: My Albums / Private Albums / Shared Submissions.  I have many categories with over 200+ albums contributed by me and the community, and I'd like to quickly find these special albums.  

11 pages of albums to filter

Good points.

 

Also, please do not make us offer any of these options. (credit, copyright, notification, tags). If I don't want these options offered I should be able to remove them. It's another roadblock for end-users--especially on mobile.

 

 

@Jaymez you can leave them blank and skip.  They're not required at all.

Yea I know. I don't want them to show. I don't want to set a president where users are allowed to upload content they do not own. It's not ok and it contradicts our ToS and it's buttons to click for no logical reason. It trips ppl up.

Oh I see.  You'll probably have to do some template edits to hide or remove the options.  

Has anyone had an issue with the gallery where when you hit "submit image" (after adding the image) but then it just does nothing? Is there a step I am missing?

I would encourage you do a screen recording and submit a ticket in the Client Area. 

You should be able to submit an image unless you skipped over a required item.  

Attachments on Gallery Description

This continues to be a pain point, evidenced by the fact that 4 out of the past 4 new users who attempted to upload images into an album (without detailed screen by screen instructions) all screwed up.  They all uploaded their images into the description's attachment field.  I can understand why.  On the Create Album form, you're asking them to create an album with Name, Description, and Drag files here.  It's logical to think you upload images there.  

There is NO information or cue to explain that image uploading is on the next page.  There's NO explanation that the descriptions' attachment field is only for the description.
