Photos

It’s probably me doing something wrong but I can find any of my photos

[JasonBModerator @jasonb]

None of the old albums from the old forum software exist any more although photos from them are still within posts.

Hi, you may, or may-not find something in ME # Albums. It may take you a bit of searching, but I have found many of mine there.

Regards Nick.

Thanks

 

Any idea why I did not get reply notifications

[John HinkleyParticipant @johnhinkley26699]

Thanks, Nicholas Farr, for that link.  I simply did a Google site search using my surname as the search term and, voilà, up came my old albums in a single keystroke.  Now all I’ve go to do is download all the pages!  (There’s a LOT of them.) Unless anyone has a link to that batch code that Dave (SOD) referred to?

John

P.S.  I’ve bookmarked the Album for future reference!

Hi John, the thanks should go to peak4, as it was a link he posted shortly after the New Forum was up and running.

Regards Nick.

Nick,

I’m only too pleased to thank Peak4 for the link.  I’ve started downloading the photos one by one into fresh folders on the main computer. It’s terribly laborious but as I’m not able to work in the workshop at the moment due to painful joints, a little light keyboard bashing fills the time. One soon gets into swing of the procedure.

Thread drift over …….

I had a look at the Model Boats version. Can see the pages but the individual images can only be downloaded at a very small size unless I am doing something wrong.

Colin,

I’m afraid that I can’t speak for the Model Boats site, but if you access it the same way as for the Model Engineer “old” site, (as discussed above), and then left-click on “View the Album”,this will bring up the photos in that particular album.  Left-click on a thumbnail and you’ll get to a page similar to this:

Click on the “Show full size” (red arrow) and that will display the origin photo at a larger size.  Right-click on that and “Save As” what you want to call it in a suitable folder.  Rinse and repeat as often as required.  At least, that’s how it works for me on the ME site.

Thanks John,

It looks like the MB sist has not been fully archived as I can’t seem to get further than the view the album stage and not all the thumbs seem to be populated. I will do a bit more poking around though as it may depend on how the album was created.

It’s not just you or MB Colin. If I do a sabove I may get some images shown as thumbnails and if I then click on one of those I can’t get anything else.

 

[Colin BishopModerator @colinbishop34627]

Yes, that is what I am seeing too.

Hi, unfortunately not all the photos seem to be saved. When you come across an album with your name beside it, click on your name, and it will come up with your profile, and below the green bar it should show how many photos you had in all your albums, and clicking on that, will bring up all the albums you had, but some will look like the one that JasonB has shown above, and while many of them may have blank white squares, but if your lucky, clicking on those blue titles may open up the photo, and some or all will just give you a white screen, with or without the title of the photo, or the not available notice. I’ve even had at least one blank album that then revels all the photos one I clicked on one or two of those blue titles. It’s all a bit of pot luck though.

Regards Nick.

[John HinkleyParticipant @johnhinkley26699]

Well, I must be one of the lucky ones! I’m into the second hour of downloading my album photos and no sign of blank squares.  Perhaps I should take a break and go out and buy a lottery ticket.

John

 

[Colin BishopModerator @colinbishop34627]

It is all quite intriguing but. no doubt like many others, I still have the original images on my PC and backups should I need them which I frequently do.
