I assume the subscribers they are referring to are PU magazine subscribers for the gallery.
There doesn't seem to be a way of linking an image to the gallery, which makes sense - otherwise the gallery would end up full of dead links.
For the comp you upload your photo to the gallery. For any others you can still put them in a normal posting.

Martin the notification button means you get an e-mail when the thread is updated - not a good idea with this thread I think

I still can't see when there are new posts - no green buttons showing up. I have to rely on the recent forum comments button.

ChrisA, it is the intention that next weeks comp takes place in the gallery I believe which should make things quicker.

Daniel, I was amazed to see so many users online - it would be nice to hear from them too. Maybe some of the guests will be inspired to register and let us know what they think too.

I'm the wrong side of fifty, and I find the colour scheme quite restful on the eyes actually.

Velvertoft has a point about the gallery. I was a member of another forum - there were thousands of members world wide, but the majority of them only ever posted in the gallery. There was no limit on the number of photos people could post, and indeed some seemed to upload their entire collection of, often dismal, snapshots. Some seemed completely unaware of the forum, which seemed to become the ground of a few die hards. It ceased to be a place for learning and bouncing ideas around. Those on the gallery often did not appreciate constructive criticism from the forum members, and could get quite nasty. that is the reason I left. It will be a shame if that happens here, though the one per day upload limit for non subscribers may help with that.

I never expected you all to be such a bunch of luddites. Give the guys a break! Try the forum out, submit your problems - they will solve them if they can - with admirable speed! I submitted a problem with the remember me box - it is now solved.
As for thinking magezine was a typo - did you never visit the PU pages on the old forum?

Aha so am I now! It wasn't doing that earlier. Hooray. I really like looking at the photos this way. A definite plus point for the new forum

It would be nicer perhaps if when you click on the image in the forum it expanded up to it's original size. Now you can click on the image and see it ad free but still only at 550pixels.

I agree with PentaxDan, give it a few days and see how it is then. Everything new takes some getting used to.

The only thing I miss is the posts since last visit button.
I am always hidden in the users online list, always was, always will be. I never looked who was online so I don't miss it.

I only have a very small screen but I don't mind the ads. I never even notice them to be honest - they are just background noise.

If you want to put more photos in the gallery subscribe to the magazine - it doesn't cost you much and is worth having imho (when it eventually gets here :evil. I'm sure you can miss 16.75 a year. And who knows you may even get one of your photos published!

I wondered about that too, but maybe we should start with the next comp, since this one is already underway.
