Need a new image? This is the place to be.
Following weeks of immense, non-stop, caffeine-induced developing, we've got yet another load of updates for you. This set of updates however, isn't your ordinary set of updates…It's extra special. Don't believe me? Read on.
We're proud to announce our "Gamma" release! So, what does this "Gamma" release consist of you may ask? Well, it's not quite a final release, but it's definitely better then a beta release. Here are some highlights:
- User Profiles: Every user now has a user profile that offers the ability to display your images in a stunning fashion and share them with other XMG users. Also, you have the ability to browse and search through all XMG users images. All community features have extensive permission options so, if you're not much of a socialite, you can make your entire account private!
- User Friends: Make new friends or invite current ones to XMG. Friends can view images that other users set viewable only to their friends and more. Stay tuned for user groups and other exciting features.
- Image Pagination: Have tons of images that take forever to load in your account? Paginate them with the new pagination option featuring slick ajaxy goodness. Even choose how many images per page you'd like to see!
- Image Interface Enhancements: Experience much faster speeds when working with your images due to dozens of system optimizations.
- Image Comments: Have discussions on your images, and limit who can comment on them with an array of permissions.
- Find New Images: Browse images by tag, date, popularity and much more in our new "Explore" section!
Current Users, If you want the run-down, the skinny, or the basics of the new system, pay attention to this next few paragraphs as I will attempt to provide all three at the same time.
The new system doesn't affect current members in any obtrusive way, no changes to your images have occurred. All your images have been set as "Private" and therefore, will not be available on the XMG Image site to be searched or viewed in your profile, only viewable by you. This also goes for your galleries. If you'd like to set some or all your images/galleries as "Public" (where, anyone can view them), login to your account, click images, simply select the desired images/galleries and click the "Permissions" button. A window will pop up with several options for you to set.
As for your profile, by default, the permission will be set public, this can be changed in your "Preferences" section of "My Account". As we've mentioned before, there are extensive permissions settings not only for your images, but profiles and galleries, allowing you to set exactly who can see what.
In the next few days we'll be expanding on this setup, adding user groups and much more exciting and "different" features. If you haven't already, there really isn't a better time to signup .
Enjoy!
