Guest Panga Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Yes please... I reckon its a good idea... Saves filling up the genral discussion with pics.. Cheers Troy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teamsherman Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Yep, love to see one. It would be a good inspiration page for new setups and also will show people how different types of tanks and setups are planned for different species/breeds. And now that i have a camera, and a host page, i can put up some pics in a photo specific forum. Cheers, Alan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducksta Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 I wont vote until I know how it would work. Would all posts with pics (ie. Identify my peacock/lepto/whatever) be moved there? Or would it be a forum just to show off? I like the second idea, but the first way would bug me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anchar Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 I think that it's a great idea. Would there be any structure to the format? I think that it would be best divided somehow into categories.....or maybe it's just the Virgo in me speaking merjo PS Would it also be useful to have a photo section within the technical forum that may help to identify diseases, do it yourself projects and equipment? Just a thought.....or is that getting too messy??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 It would be good if it was split into species threads or lake threads, so you wouldnt have to sift through a whole series of threads if you wanted to see some pics of frontosas or calvus etc. cheers Jonny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teamsherman Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Good point, i think also it should be just a specific "look at my cool stuff" thread. To show off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serial-Cichlid Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 I think it's a good idea if it's just a showcase section for tank and fish pics. Otherwise it would get very messy with technical or identifier posts. Merjo you Virgo ..... more like a Pisces. Cheers Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memphis Tank Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Its a great move forward. Um anyway of making it easier to post pics? Like cut/copy and paste. Suits my country way of thinking. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Excellent idea! I enjoy seeing other people's fish and set-ups, having a photo album would encourage more people to post pics. Personally, I don't think there is a need to get too structured. As long as people put what the pic is of in the subject and not "hey look at this" or "my fish" etc then you should be able to find pics you want to look at pretty easily. Just my 2 cents worth.

Guest Gutty Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 I'm in agreement with Ducksta, as much as i'd like a photography forum i still think the genral forum is the better place to be posting pics for identification etc. I guess i'd really like to see it divided into Malawi,Tang,American,Tanks and Tips but that makes 5 new forums........ Which is quite obviuosly a very big ask. I'd still be very happy just to have a single forum for all things Photography(Herps, fish, help etc) Aren't you supposed to be taking a break Dave ?

JDHOGG Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 It's a great idea. A picture tells a thousand words as they say. I think it should be split into groups as well. Especially a tank set up section as this is probably one of the most perplexing part of fish keeping, it would be great to check out other peoples set ups.

Willy Wombat Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 yes yes yes - a place for shutter bugs like me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Sounds like a great idea if all the pics will be assorted into their own catergorie. Also how about a fish of the month or flavour of the month fish on the front page of members fish etc? Like the www.cichlidforum.com have.. It just might catch a visitors eyes and get thme to join! Anyways just a thought.. cheers! Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nornicle Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 i think its an excellent idea, as long as there is a distinction that allows people to post pictures in the general and more specific areas (dwarfs/ planted)... The thing is I don't think it would be fruitful if posts are moderated into the pictures forums because they include a photo in them, or have a photo in them.. i.e 'i.d' something similar to how we can have a 'looking for these dwarves' posts in the dwarf cichlid forum...

Guest Smasha Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Sounds like a great idea Worth giving it a try anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaZ Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 I like the idea and agree with most that it should be a 'show off' section, maybe a space where people can post bigger pics. Smaller pics for fish identification etc should still be allowed in the other forums. A 'tank of the month' section in there would be great too, but unless we are prepared to let lungy moderate chat I dont have time to get it up and running \ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildcaught Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 If possible to incl. brand/model of the camera used Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViS Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Tank of the month is easy. Everyone posts a pic within the first week of each month and then one of the mods can kill the post at the end of the week and post up the winning pic in a sticky tab. Alternatively, a post can run for a month with pics added during the month and the winner gets posted up for the next month while a new post is formed for the month. I'll volunteer to moderate it if people are keen to try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cichlids_au Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Perhaps one of the sponsors would be generous enough to volunteer a small prize for the winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.apps Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 sounds great, you pick up alot of east ways to have your tanks etc... when you see someone else's (ie: using oil burners etc..) and the tnk of the month sounds great, I think posts should be ran for a month then the winner of that month is chosen early the next month!

Wayne Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 i will donate a 2ft tank to get the ball rolling cheers wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViS Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Ok well with 51 "yes" votes and 0 "no" votes so far, it lookes like it's a go. Once it is up and running, I'll make the contest post for everyone to add to. I'd ask that the pictures are kept to 800 x 600 or smaller for those that only have small screens or are half blind and need to have 800 x 600 resolution to read the words on screen. If any pictures are far too big, I'll convert them to links so the owner can alter the size and repost. Thanks Wayne, much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cichlids_au Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Good on you Wayne, your a champ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Good stuff Wayne. A few questions though......what if an interstate person wins the contest, how will they get the tank? Is delivery included for those who can't drive to pick up as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
