Title: Will the photo galleries ever return?
Post by: Dr.Terror on January 03, 2025, 11:14:21 AM
One the best things were the galleries.     Have there been any updates on when or if they will return?

Maybe, but they may just be links to my ImageShack account.

I must've enlisted late because I have no memory
of ever seeing them. Was there a gallery for each 
of the forums here? Were members allowed to
contribute images?

It's been there since the beginning. If you click on the "Gallery" link (top of page), you can see what is left of it.

There were toy/merchandise galleries for each decade and monster.  All the photos were member contributions.      I'd like to see them return with the 90's up until present day included.    There has been so much produced since the 90s/2000s cutoff when the galleries were  origunally created.

The "Gallery" doesn't seem to be showing for me.

I think one of the problems was with photo storage. Adding all of that would increase the cost. I added galleries for most of the major UM toy producers. Maybe that broke the bank?

You don't see a link at the very top of the page for "Gallery"?

No.

At the top of the page for me it lists "Home", "Search", "Calendar", and "Members".

When I tried the link an "error" message came up and said "you are not allowed to view the Gallery". No big deal since there isn't much left of it according to what you said. More wonky UMA stuff.

Strange. You are logged in, right? I assume you'd have to be to post.

I'm on mobile and I don't see any gallery link. The main menu is also as dead as user actions. 
I rarely used the gallery but I did start new topics as I saw things of interest (can't now).
Still, overall, it's better than it was.

I can't find a link to the Gallery either.

Is this a recent problem, or have you never been able to see the gallery?

Main menu and user actions are both functional now (yay) but I still see no gallery.
And after Dr terror mentioned it I don't think I've seen it since that last meltdown either.  :-\

Other than that tho. It's all good from what I see.
