So, is the show and tell feature for these quilts going away? Should we always be putting them in group photo albums now? One disadvantage of the photo albums, as far as I can see, is that you can't see who posted the photo. In the old show and tell, that information was a separate field that was automatically filled in. Now I guess we have to type it into the description, if we are able to update the description. That has been a problem.

I'll say again that it would be really nice to have a separate awards field in the quilt gallery like we had before. This field needs to allow for multiple entries. It would be nice if it was like the old one, so you had space for multiple awards and each award had separate fields like type (local, national, international), year, show and category. I just think this is an important part of the quilt and should be highlighted.

There is now a group for the 2014 BOM - all the old photos are there, by month and you can upload new photos, too! The group is open to anyone, just join and start chatting and uploading photos.

Here is a quick link to get you there: www.thequiltshow.com/community/groups/viewgroup/100007-2014-tqs-bom

I see lots of various descriptions to click on for quilt photos, but you are right, no award button. I would put any awards won in the description of the photo.

And we still have no way of posting a photo to the BOM show and tell - for any of the years. There seem to be only two options for posting a quilt, either Zoom Quilt or Quilt Gallery. We need to be able to post a quilt to any of the Show and Tell categories as well as the BOM. Maybe this is already being worked on in which case, thank you in anticipation.

Hi Kathy, when you get a chance, could you check on something else related to the gallery? I've noticed that the section listing awards the quilt has won no longer appears. Can it be resurrected? Thanks!

This would be an excellent place for a Woo Hoo button if you like a quilt. I'm busy promoting my Woo Hoo idea.

I see what you mean and I'll check on whether that is something that can be changed. When I zoom in on a quilt, there are buttons to go forward and back, but they aren't active.

Like your suggestion! Janet

I think it would be great to have the ability to view the quilts in the gallery by date from newest to oldest in a slideshow fashion, such that each thumbnail size photo doesn't have to be opened manually to see an enlarged view. Now, if a photo in the gallery is opened, navigating new and previous seems to be within only the member's photo album rather than the overall gallery. Hopefully, this makes sense.
