Kick-off: Lhcf Hair Photo Album Is The New Fotki!

[YvetteWithJoy]

Several ladies were discussing how much folks miss Fotki and the wonderful knowledge and photos it contained. (Please see this thread https://longhaircareforum.com/threa...anything-similar-out-there-we-can-use.822959/.)

Someone came up with the idea of using the LHCF photo album system for recreating the Fotki experience/knowledge. The description and comment features should allow for knowledge sharing and discussion.

What do you think? Do we want to try it?

I tried to think of how we might have an album-naming scheme to yield some uniformity for ease of sharing, navigation, etc. So far this is what I came up with. If interested, please feel free to make improvements, reductions, additions, etc.

[2018] Hair Length Checks
[2018] Hair Regimen
[2018] Hair Faves & HGs
[2018] Hair Styles+Tools
[2018] Product Combos
[2018] Reviews (Hair Ed.)

I thought about combining the last 2, but reviewing an individual product or tool is different from assessing a unique product-technique combination.

This is what it would look like when you go to a user's album page.

Not necessary at all, but it might help if we named our photos for easy finding:

• 2018Jan23_blablahblah (e.g., 2018Jan23_HairRegimenUpdate)
• ReviewOfOyinHairDew or 2018Jan_ReviewOfOyinHairDew

I like this a lot. I never used Fotki, but what you have stated above makes sense. I think if any idea has some structure it will take flight without too many deviations. I'm here for this.

Cool!

It doesn't seem like the capability to make folders exists.

If we can't make folders of albums (e.g., separate a 2018 folder of albums from a 2019 folder, and so forth), then perhaps leading the album names with the year (like above) will suffice.

Is it possible to ask the web developers for folder making capabilities?

I tried but it won't let you upload photos without resizing them first which defeats the purpose. The developers should have it do what every other site (fotki, FB, IG, tumblr, etc) does and reformat it so the client doesn't have to

That’s a good idea. I miss my fotki terribly. So I’ll give this a shot.

Wow this is exciting me!

I have problems uploading images here and can't be bothered to source a third party app for it

 

[I Am So Blessed]

How can I create an album? *goes to play around with it*

Oh wow.. That's a good idea..
