Title: Public access to gallery?
Post by: ShaneJ on August 19, 2009, 08:46:03 PM
Jeff's post in the "How you you found this site" thread got me thinking.

Should we allow everyone access to see images in the gallery?
Or should only registered members be able to see the gallery?

i think keep it members only, number plates are shown and so might be faces of members in shots, Could be a problem if some one is looking for a particular van to see whats in it to pinch

for example tick a box saying yes or no when uploading photos

And or a note advising / urging visitors that in order to get the full benefit of the site you need to obtain a log in and become a member. Just a suggestion. Or possibly post a sample selection of pictures of for visitors to peruse, of course with the owners permission.

Cheers Jeff

do you think its worth having an expiry on profiles so that if a registered member dose not post within 4 months then they are automatically deleted?
would tidy up the numbers. ?

I have thought about this but would prefer not to do it as yet. In the future I will setup the software to automagicly email members who haven't logged on in a certain amount of time and request they login to the site to keep their account active.
After this I may look at doing something with account that have been created and then never used.

i feel its up to the member to keep them self safe like blanking out the rego and any other things that makes them feel safe as i bed guy will find your van if he wants it no matter what you do and as for pictures every one should ask the the member involed if they want to down load a members picture

and im sure there is software that can be used to stop pictures being save by others and make it so they have to contact the member to get the picture they want
