Railpictures.net question

[chad thomas]

Hey, what do you know, it worked. I am using rrpicturearchives.net.

[chad thomas]

Ok lets try this again

Dave, another method for entering a slash key is to hold down the <alt> key and type 47 on the numeric keypad, then let up on the <alt> key. After that, you can highlight the slash character, hit <Ctrl>C to copy it, then use <Ctrl>V to paste it wherever you need it.

Dave, I got my e-mail within an hour, but I can't get a link to work. I am trying to set up a railroadpicturesarchive.net account instead. If/when I get it set up I'll test it in this thread.

I got one set up too...but have another problem...it requires me to enter dates for albums using the slash key on the keyboard between month, date , year....my slash key stopped working, so I can't type date in properly to the format there and it won't let me go any further...I guess its just not in thecards for me to be able to post pics here.......

This is getting a bit off-topic, but how do you like the Ubuntu? I found out about it from another forum (non-RR), but haven't heard any feedback on it yet.

(Back on topic) The one thing I really, really dislike about rrpicturearchives.net is the way it auto-resizes the browser window, especially irritating when using FireFox. Click on one of the pictures, and BAM the browser goes all weird, and the bottom's cut off! [:(!]

Yes,after I signed up for the NE site, it said that a e-mail would be sent 'in a few moments' for me to activate my account.....12 hours later, no e-mail.....I tried again this morning by reapplying, and it acknowleges that my user name exists now, but still has not sent me an activation e-mail...?????

OK I signed up for a nerail account. Lets see if it works.

You got that right.

I found the rrpictures.net site and signed up for it...pending approval....I also signed up for the NEPics site but am perplexed in that I was supposed to get a verification e-mail to activate the account and it never came....I signed up for it over 8 hours ago and verified that my e-mail address was correct before submitting, and signed up a second time this morning, and still no e-mail....I'll keep looking....

Dave -

Have you tried posting pics at rrpicturearchives.net? I've posted all my rejects from Railpictures on this site (along with others). It's free and, overall, a good site. Give it a look and see what you think. Wherever you chose to post, let us know - I'd be interested in seeing pics of railroading in and around J-town/Altoona.

Is that part of Railpictures .net, or a separate site....I don't want all those popup ads attached to my pic...such as Hooters Restaurants, or sites to find a mate..etc...

No voting. Just post. Free. 50,000 photos so far.

[Gluefinger]

If you like, you could post a link to your rejected photos (not the railpics link- they're deleted in 3 days), and we can help you out.

[mersenne6]

I've found the wait to be 15 minutes or less. As for rejection - don't sweat it Matthew - I had a bunch rejected before finally getting one or two accepted. I too felt that a number of my rejects met all of their criteria. The fact of the matter is, they have established a definition of what they consider a good picture, and, as near as I can tell, they do a pretty good job of holding to it. The key here is to remember it is their definition not THE definition which means that in a different venue with a different audience your rejects (and mine and others) might be accepted.
If you think your pictures are worthy of a wider audience try submitting them elsewhere. Where I live there are countless local photo competitions which a person can enter and as near as I've been able to determine most of them have a category in which train pictures could be included. I've entered a few over the years - got an honorable mention once and some favorable comments. It's a great way to meet and talk to other photographers and get a little attention as well.

[Noah Hofrichter]

They've been really backed up lately. Last night they took a while, and this morning they are already up to 126 photos in the queue, and it's still rising.

[trainboyH16-44]

They've rejected every photo i've tried, and admittedly they should have high standards, but I think these were VERy good photos, the best I have. Brilliant colours, and a great mountain backdrop in one case.
Oh well, maybe someday I'll takea photo that knocks their ocks off.....

I use photo bucket: about 3 seconds.

[icmr]

Well, without all of the nonsence(and I'm not talking about railpictures.net), it takes about 1 day.

yea, with FireFox all you get is a message that a popup has been blocked. Of course the message is a little text on top of the page, not a regular windows message.

It would be funny if you got a popup saying that a popup has been blocked lol

[fuzzybroken]

Normally, it shouldn't take more than a day, and things usually move right along within an hour or so. If you're getting pop-ups, consider using a different browser! Mozilla FireFox is a good choice, with built-in pop-up (and spyware!) blocking. Its tabbed browsing comes in handy for viewing lots of RP.net photos at one time, only problem is... you still have to use IE to upload...

[chad thomas]

Yea, no kiddin.[;)]

[Kurn]

Probably as long as it takes to add 12 popups to them!LOL

[chad thomas]

How long does it take for them to accept / reject pictures?
