Naucc 2003 Pics

From: at1pe_uni

In Nathan's reply to Darren, he explained the trick to the successful
viewing of the NAUCC pictures. You must first register (it is free)
with Ofoto: http://www.ofoto.com/

It is reasonable to require registration to store pictures at a site.

In my opinion, it is _not_ reasonable to require registration just to
view the pictures of others. I don't even like sites that require
cookies to function properly, much less registration. Free is a very
relative concept; it may be free in a monetary sense, but is it really
free in the sense of freedom (from restrictions)? Personally, I would
boycott http://www.ofoto.com/. Others are of course free to use or not
use http://www.ofoto.com/ as they see fit.

Sincerely,

Ken Fuchs

I am truly sorry for this frustrating situation. When I upgrade to
Jaguar, then I will be able to upload to the Unicylcist Community
gallery.

Have One Wheelly Wonderful Weekend,

I was able to view your first album via the slideshow without
registering. Thank you!

This URL didn't seem to allow the viewing of any album.

I am truly sorry for this frustrating situation. When I upgrade to
Jaguar, then I will be able to upload to the Unicyclist Community
gallery.

I look forward to seeing your other albums of the 2003 NAUCC on the
gallery.

Thanks Mr. T! You had just the events I wanted to see. Jan has been
keeping me up to date on your practices and the Convention, but I really
missed being there.

I looks like your team did great, and best of all was Grampa.

Nathan,
Thanks for all of your input! In an earlier post, I included my
password.

It seems that the addresses work for some & not others.

For those still trying to view the 9 albums you can try one of the
addresses listed in earlier posts, or my password:



atuni

I hope that it works for you.

Alan T.

Hi, I'm back from Alaska! Pictures from my trip? Duh. It'll take a
while, but they'll be posted. The best wildlife shots were done on film
though, so I don't know if those will ever get scanned and posted.

Meanwhile, back to Ofoto. I agree with Ken that registering to view
photos is a bit much. If I had unlimited space, and as easy a way to
upload as Ofoto offers, I'd store them elsewhere. The forum photo
galleries are great, but not as easy to work with. I use Ofoto for two
reasons:

1. I can order prints. They're good prints, at a reasonable price. Also,
family members (and friends) can order prints and I don't have to do
anything!

2. Ofoto protects my ownership of the images. By showing only
low-resolution versions of the images, they can't be used without
permission except at that size or smaller. Yes, I do occasionally get
paid for my images.

The way I present my images to the "general public" is surely not what
Ofoto intended when it offered all that free storage. I'm "sneaking
around" the system but I think they're okay with it if it encourages
people to order prints, and to possibly use the services for themselves
later on.

Notice to Al Tepper: YOUR ONLINE ALBUMS ARE AT HIGH RISK OF BEING
CUSTOMIZED! Anyone who has your password can change captions, delete,
re-arrange, or otherwise mess with your albums. I thought of using this
method as well, to get around the registration thing, but since my
albums are "public" by being listed on my Web site, total strangers go
in there. I recommend you change your password and then try my method.

My method is to click on the tab to "share photos," and share the albums
with myself (and anyone else you want to notify). They have changed
their system back and forth, so it may or may not offer a check box for
whether you want to require viewers to sign in (register) first. Uncheck
the box if available. You have to do this process one album at a time.
When you receive the email telling you about the new album, you will see
a text version of the URL to that album at the bottom of the email. Copy
that URL and paste it into your HTML as the link to your album!

I'm pretty sure viewers will still have to sign in, but this can be
through their own accounts. Those not willing to create an account must
make that choice, and I can understand why (I had over 500 pieces of
spam in my inbox this morning). To Ofoto's credit, I rarely receive
emails from them. They leave me alone, while allowing me to store
thousands of high-resolution image files so I can order prints whenever
I want. I don't do it often, but when I do it's usually a large order!
