General questions or comments on the platform

[Majie Lavergne]

hello,

 

This is an amazing platform, however, I am running into two glitches:

1. on my profile, after my name, @majie appears automatically, and this is not my email address.
2. when trying to create my own gallery, and when i click on photo, it goes nowhere, it doesn’t connect me to my Photos. I use an Apple desktop and a mini I pad.

thank you for looking into it,

 

Warmly

Hi Majie

1) So that wasn’t a glitch – the @majie is referencing your username not email. However I don’t really see the point either – it’s probably just confusing and I and have hidden it from profile areas.
Now I see point haha. It’s a way of linking to your profile from within a post. So for instance -‘check out @majie ‘
Not totally sure how useful this will be, but let’s keep it for now. Will unhide it.

2) Once you have created a gallery you will be able to add media

Hi Neil,

 

Thank you for your emails.

Is there a way to place in my gallery a video or more. My work is interactive and it it best presented by showing in video form. If not is it possible to have links?

 

Warmly,

Technically we can have a video option but it is turned off. My worry is that we would have to increase everybody’s file size permissions so much if video were at play that we could put a strain on the server, and it’s a bit early days with this new site right now. And unfortunately i can only see option in this gallery piece we are using to upload videos not just add links which would make way more sense. Anyway I’ll let you know if i think of something or find something. Thanks.
