fixed that for you michael.

Added function to read the IPTC data from the uploaded JPEG of ZIPPED files of vectors so that vectors that are uploaded and have IPTC data are moved to the submit page.  thanks for the heads up Michael and let us know what else we can do.

Thanks John!!! Cutcaster looks great & I am excited about submitting.

navarro,

that is hilarious about the winking dog.  i bet we would have a good time over a beer.  i like your sense of humor.  i thought the dog was a classic shot and the photographer must have poked his dog in the eye right before. hahahah.

i'm glad you are able to login now and you noticed the changes that we made.  there are more to come and i like the ideas of generating random photos so they get dredged up from the backend and dont get lost in the abyss.  i am all for getting more views and promotion for anyones photos so we all make money at the end of the day. 

I don't know anything about websites, but I came up with two suggestions:

1.  Can there be a "search by photographer" option?  Sometimes it's nice to see someone's entire portfolio, especially if you like their work.

2. I'd like to be able to see the larger version of the photo just by putting my mouse over top of it, instead of clicking on it.  Is that possible?

Yeah, I noticed the missing popups as well and thought it was odd...

yep.  we just removed the pop ups temporarily because it was slowing down our page load.  this is going to be updated and put back up very soon.  its an easy change and something that saves a lot of time. 

also at TreeofLife there is a search by photographer option in the search area.  let me know if you can't see it.  click that option and then put in the users name or username on the cc site. 

thanks

I clicked on the "Advance Search" (should that say "Advanced?")and I still don't see a search by photographer button.  Am I looking on the correct page?

its actually a search by members which will show you different people on the site.  try that. 

i will change that to advanced.  my old eyes.  it all sounded right when i read it.  hahahaha

OK, I got it to work, but there's a minor glitch:

In order to click on "members" you first have to unclick "photos."  It would be better if you could just click on "members" and the check mark would move from "photos" on it's own, with out having to uncheck the "photos."

I'm also going to have to agree with a previous poster (sorry I forget who) who suggested that you raise your quality standards for submissions.  I'm not a great photographer, but even I would not have submitted some of the photos I saw (big time white balance and focus issues, not to mention photo titles spelled wrong).  If you want buyers to have a look around, you're going to have to give them quality to choose from.  Otherwise I think they're going give up and go elsewhere.
*trying to be helpful, not critical*

thanks and please be critical.  i need to hear it before buyers get on there and could use all the help and education you can give me. 

i am going over the database and weeding stuff out and getting the metadata all in order.
