The main gallery
A timely reminder to have a look at our archives and dish up a few that escaped us the first time around?

If anyone can give a reason for posting to the main gallery that rings a bell for me, I might just consider it.

Main gallery here: 132 images over 13 years,
Ipernity. My main image hosting site mainly used to post things to other sites such as here (i.e., as most people use Flickr). A real mixture as I use it for any image I want to post elsewhere, not necessarily a good image. (4697 images).
Instagram. Largely photos I like, rarely a more "social media" type image (857 images).
krislockyearphotography.foliopic.com This is supposed to be the showcase of my better images but I don't update it as often as I ought. (194 out of a possible maximum of 500).
US fora. Much like here, images are posted in threads and not in a gallery. I post there a great deal more than here because (a) I like to do the "Single in [enter a month]" challenge where I try to take and post one photo a day with a lens of the month. September was the K35/2, last month the K150/4, this month the F35-70. Also, I can post any of my film images (pinholes, folders, TLRs...) and there are endless light-hearted posting threads (the alphabet game, show your pets etc.). I have no idea how many images are posted there (just as here in the image threads and the gear threads). There are a small number of bad images in the gallery I'd like to delete if I can find out how. All the images are hosted on Ipernity. (One reason for this is that if I decide to take down an image for any reason, I can delete it from Ipernity and it will no longer show on most of the other platforms.)
Other places: a few on the Lomography site, some on the Manual Focus Lenses site, and a few on the Soviet Cameras site (although I haven't been there in an age as they were more interested in collecting cameras with minor differences than taking photos with them).
For the main gallery to have some relevance, it needs to be better integrated with the main forum rather than off on its own. In general, this forum appears to have got quieter and quieter over the years. I see the same couple of dozen people posting regularly, but it doesn't seem nearly as busy as it was when I joined. When did hefty last post, for example? A bit of a revamp would be nice too (although not a Flickresque ungodly mess, please) . For example, the image size worked well when I joined in 2007, but now looks much too small.
Best wishes, Kris.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Similarly here, there are all sorts of options and the gallery and the forum do overlap, but it depends what we want to use. The gallery pictures will be there indefinitely to look at. The forum thread images will gradually go down the pages and be rarely looked at. If members choose to host those images off-site then shen they stop supporting that they will disappear.
There's also ePHOTOzine, the sister site to this one, and I have around 5000 images on there, one more being added every day.
It's all out there to be grasped and used, so feel free!
Best regards, John

Not quite true. I just hit the "go to the beginning" button and (a) it says page 40 whereas it must be many more than that and (b) the links to the photos are all broken, you just get tiny thumbnails. I have scrolled through the many images to see when the links start working again.

What I do expect is that the forum threads will have a lot of blank spaces where images used to be and that once we get to about 2008 onwards the gallery will be the reliable collection of our pictures.

Beautiful, nothing else can describe, awesome.
Spam?

What this means is that Instagram has all the rights of the original owner of the content – aside from the fact that it is not an exclusive licence. Should a photographer sell an image under an exclusive licence, posting that image on their Instagram would breach that licence.
