  1. Thanks

    This has now been resolved in the 4.7.16 release. Please update if you are seeing this issue. If you are then still seeing the issue, please let us know.

    we have nearly 800,000 images, if we paused the gallery then they would just use photobucket instead and still not name them
    We also have a monthly photo competition, members nominate other peoples photos to be included and we then have to go hunting for the image information, it's time consuming and sometimes we have to ask the owner of the photo which then ruins the surprise of finding out that they have been nominated

    It is not only optional. It is difficult to find for users. Our users upload a single image and then cannot find the field for the caption. They do not understand that they have to upload, then click on the uploaded image, then fill the caption, then submit. I would prefer a simple GUI for single upload, where the user is forced to give caption AND description for the image.
    We are going to pause our gallery with 39,000 images and 350,000 comments because of this problem. Indeed, images cannot be found, moderators are tired of editing the captions and descriptions.
    I hope there will be a better solution in v5.

    I have a pet peeve, images uploaded to our gallery display their file name as the title. For example a member uploads their image and doesn't change the title image, so it then displays something like DSC2849.jpg instead of for example "Oak Cabinet".
    I have rules displayed for image uploading in each gallery, but they are apparently ignored. Is there any way to auto enforce changing the title of an image uploaded to our galleries? Our community is gallery and image heavy, visual arts. It drives me crazy that folks are lazy and just use their default image file title. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    Without enforced image renaming  from the default file name during the upload it renders the search for images redundant

    if for instance I'm on a car forum and I want to search the gallery for a specific make and model of car but all of the images are called DSCwhatevever.jpg then I'm not going to get many results

    ATM renaming images is optional, personally I'd prefer to make it a condition of uploading to storage space that I'm paying for, whilst I'm grateful for the content it would be better if it was in a usable format, as it is, once an un named image has left the latest image feed it will probably never be seen again

    Good day folks. I create custom blocks for a lot of things, temp blocks for an event I'd like to highlite for a time period, blocks for advertisers that have limited times of showing and no longer usable, blocks that at one time seemed like a good idea, and now they aren't.
    As I was going through my blocks and cleaning house, I found it very difficult to actually determine which one went where and if it was being used or not. It would be nice to have a small blurb in the custom block "Details" where the block is being used, or not used at all.
    Perhaps something like "used on acme page" or "not active" or something of the sorts. Thanks for your consideration.

    Thanks for your feedback, John. I think the issue with pages is it intentionally serves different purposes for different people. As such, looks very different to each, and one generic preview may not nessesarily work

    It could be a feature that can be turned on or off in admin? The hover preview would grab the first image (if there is one) of the article or record and some intro text from the first paragraph?
    I know ya all know wikipedia, if you hover over a link at their website you'll see a handsome preview popup, I really love those. Just a wish added to your long long long list of wishes from us all 🙂

    We already have previews on hover for our Forums. Can we extend that capability to hover article previews when an inline text link is provide for an article?
    For example: I really love this helpful article on Spam Prevention, it is very helpful.
    So, when you hover your cursor over "Spam Prevention" we'd have an article popup preview appear. Thanks for your consideration.

    Have you applied the latest patch? The promotion works via background tasks and it’s possible that due to a bug the tasks stopped working. Applying the patch via the support page in your ACP will probably  resolve it.

    What time do you use in this setting?- Cache sidebar, header and footer blocks -???
    Also - do you use cron? If yes - does it work correctly?
    What makes an impression about your site is too heavy images...
