You can see the results - isnt there a show results button under the poll?

I've looked at this as well, but I don't think we want to upload even more images - we need to point it at our existing ones and make sure that when you click on an image from the gallery it creates, it links to the purchase page. I'm leaving that as too much for me just now - and if I get to my 5000 images on the site, it will be an enormous and pretty useless gallery anyway. Perhaps it would make sense to choose 30 of your really best images and do the linking from image to the purchase page.
theruchos has done a nice approach where there is a display by category in the top menu. Not sure how that was done, but that is an approach that could work for me. Steve 1006

I don't have a Thailand picture (but I will later!!). Do your images contain keywords like panorama, landscape or view? Try those?

I don't know. I think the present approach is customer friendly - they lose their download, but they can still get it from my site. Engages them more, and doesn't make them feel like I don't trust them.

Symbiostock - Network Building / Re: networking -- What are you looking for in a match?« on: April 02, 2013, 09:20 »
There is an issue with compound phrases - so if I have "gold coin" for a keyword, neither gold, coin or "gold coin" will find it. Leo is aware.
It would be found if I also had "gold" and "coin" as separate keywords in their own right, which is a bit of a workaround. Are you searching for a single word? steve 1009
Symbiostock - Suggestions / Re: Set Priority Levels for Future Development« on: April 02, 2013, 09:17 »Quote Seconded : 2 hits 24 hours ? I've been thinking about this request - maybe I am missing something. As the system currently works, once you have an account on my site and you make a purchase, the file moves into your "download area" of your account. There you can download it to your hard drive and use it (for ever at no additional cost). Back on the site, the same image is still available. What is the damage or loss if it stays there indefinitely? I can see some logic for the buyer being able to delete or hide the image once they have downloaded it, especially if they buy a lot of images and the screen gets cluttered, but what is the focus on making this disappear after a few click? It is in a password protected area of the site visible only to the buyer - if they wanted to share the file with their friends, they already have it and can easily do that without detection.

I did the search on your site. My image with stars did appear - maybe had to wait a bit for it. When I get this really motoring I think I may move again to a more powerful host where I don't share resources with everyone else!

Symbiostock - Network Building / Re: networking -- What are you looking for in a match?« on: April 02, 2013, 08:14 »
Yes, then search for a term in the search box - best if you search for one that exists in your own site when you are troubleshooting

Pond5 / Re: Photo Pricing for Pond5« on: April 02, 2013, 07:40 »Quote This looks like a mess! If all you want to do is to upload your images, set a standard maximum price (I use $40) and submit to the curator, it is very easy. Two or three steps and you are there. You can also split your images up in your own folders, then upload all those that you want to assign a specific price to, set that price and submit, then ftp the rest of the images. I do that with images that need model releases - sort them, upload all the images with a particular model, set the price, add the MR and submit. Easy! Steve 1015
Symbiostock - General / Re: Watermarks« on: April 02, 2013, 07:38 »
Yes - the watermark is added during file upload and processing. Changing your watermark file makes no difference to images already in the system

For those looking for a test partner for their network, feel free to use http://www.backyardstockphotos.com
I've got about 30 images online now and am adding more, so you should get some reasonable matches. To answer another question earlier. You only see the other partner when you do a search for an image - it doesn't appear on the home page. Steve 1017
Symbiostock - Technical Support / Re: Setting up PayPal« on: April 01, 2013, 21:07 »
I can also buy files as the admin - I just enter a different paypal account as the buyer. No need to log in as a customer.

Symbiostock - Technical Support / Re: Setting up PayPal« on: April 01, 2013, 21:06 »
Also, look in your spam folder. All my buyer download emails are going there. In your site, log in as the buyer and go to license and download area - the new file should be visible there for download as well

Symbiostock - Technical Support / Re: Symbiostock Test Build - the Bug Stomping Thread!« on: April 01, 2013, 20:42 »
From me:
1. If you do a search for a term that doesn't exist in your partner networks, I get a whole lot of errors like: Warning: simplexml_load_string() [function.simplexml-load-string]: Entity: line 56: parser error : Opening and ending tag mismatch: link line 9 and head in /home1/backyay9/public_html/wp-content/themes/symbiostock/inc/classes/network-manager/network-manager.php on line 196 Warning: simplexml_load_string() [function.simplexml-load-string]: </head> in /home1/backyay9/public_html/wp-content/themes/symbiostock/inc/classes/network-manager/network-manager.php on line 196 2. If you have a compound keyword like "St Thomas", neither a search for Thomas or St Thomas finds the file. It seems like the individual words have to be keywords in their own right. 3. If you change the file reference to License Agreement in the Setting panel, and save, the reference disappears. It only comes back if you reactivate Symbio, and then it is pointing to a new instance of the License Agreement I think that is all from me Steve 1020

I found the issue - I had wrongly named the logo files!!!
It works now. Christine - can you check your logos on the "network" page. Copy the URL and put it in a browser - it should show the logo. Steve 1021
Symbiostock - Network Building / Re: networking -- What are you looking for in a match?« on: April 01, 2013, 20:22 »
I wonder why that is. I have logos loaded into all the various locations in Sybio. I notice that the other site doesn't show logos either. Your site works fine in my search.
Did you do anything about logos apart from create and upload? Steve 1022
Symbiostock - Technical Support / Re: Setting up PayPal« on: April 01, 2013, 20:20 »
Worked for me this time. File size is slightly smaller, which is presumably because you are saving this as a JPEG with slightly different compression?
Steve 1023
Symbiostock - Technical Support / Re: Setting up PayPal« on: April 01, 2013, 20:15 »
Do I need to upload and process the images again, or is it just a buy and download issue?

Symbiostock - Network Building / Re: networking -- What are you looking for in a match?« on: April 01, 2013, 20:00 »
Works for me now. Can you try a search for "meadow" on your site and see if you see one of mine? http://www.backyardstockphotos.com
