The Photo Gallery is a place where members can upload photos for everyone to view, rate and comment on. Photos are organized by member specific sections refered to as the Member Gallery. Each member has their own section that they can add categories to, which will hold their photos. You must create at least one category in order to upload photos.
The Photo Gallery has four main views or different ways of displaying photos. They are: 1. Photo Gallery Home, Member Gallery, Top Rated, and Most Viewed.
For example:
If you click on Top Rated from the Photo Gallery Home view, you will see the top rated photos for all members.
However, if you click on Top Rated from a category by Member A in the Member Gallery view, you will see the top rated photos for Member A only.
For example:
If you click on Most Viewed from the Photo Gallery Home view, you will see the most viewed photos for all members.
However, if you click on Most Viewed from a category by Member B in the Member Gallery view, you will see the most viewed photos for Member B only.
It's highly recommended that you create a new category each time you upload photos. This will make it easier to find/view photos for other members of the site.
