Do you think we should have a Picture gallery on this site?

I am still waiting for an official comment on this thread. I don't know how to attract their attention.

You can send a PM to admin, giving this thread link. He will respond

Thanks, I will do this now. I want him to see this, whatever his reaction. I am sure this will make things better for the site's page rank.

If you have any doubts, you can ask administrator through PMs.....(only if your doubt is not cleared in forum) :laugh: Don't disturb him too much.
Usually, you get every answers for your questions in forum, just ask. You should also go through FAQ, to know more.
Just below each profile (except you), you can see some icons....one belong to private message(PM).
You can send messages just by clicking it.
You can send messages to other members too

Thanks Sandhya for your Reply and now i understood what extra i got from this site.

I am against with such contests. It will simply introduce copyright violations and people will start posting copy protected images. We can find copied content but not images and we might ended up action against us by the original author. My 2cs.

I agree totally!! I have seen too many sites where importance is given more to pictures and such sites are, in my opinion, not really conforming to what the motto for boddunan is, that Sharing Knowledge! The value and importance of serious topics would be totally lost!

I never said 'contests' admin, besides copied content is easy to detect. Even I can do it at no cost to the site. Members uploading copyrighted photos may attract a heavy penalty. This is simply a gallery I am talking about. Where members can upload their own work. But site administration knows better.

Sunil.. How can we find out if the images have published on internet before or not?? I know we can find out about content.. but is it possible for images too?!

Sunil, I understand what you mean, and there are many threads which have been solely created for uploading pictures, if you could use the Search option, you will find out. Unfortunately, it was a feature that was misused by many who did not want to take any efforts on adding quality to the forums and hence were discouraged to do so, some have left the site for that matter. Initially, pictures posted were good quality, own work etc. but not all understood the fun of adding own work and simply lifted photos off of other sites and posted them here. Again, this is something that is totally undesirable.

Yes with the help of a software that will give you exact number of sites that particular image is published on.

Never mind I am not interested because I am a photographer myself but the the page rank of the site was in y mind. I am not insisting nor have any idea of leaving the site on this particular issue. Thanks for every thing.

Hey sunil.. Can I know the name of the software for that purpose!?

I will give you that through email. You can check it in your mailbox.

Okay no problem.. I will check my mail.. Thanks for it.

Sunil, its really good. I never hear about such software. Can you please give the name of that software. Also, is that software gives information about which sites and all that particular picture already posted?
