Travis Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 Howdy All. I'm working on the Gallery and Pattern Library section. I just want to put out a reminder on a few things. I know a lot of folks post in the New Patterns Announcements and share patterns there. If it is a pattern that has a broad appeal, please upload it to the Pattern Library and link to it instead. That way we can organize our patterns easier and other people can discover it without digging through old forum posts. Please only post patterns to the Pattern Library. Don't post finished projects there. Finished projects should be uploaded to your personal Gallery. It takes a long time to move those pictures into your User Gallery. To upload to your personal gallery, click Gallery>Upload To Your User Gallery. From there you can create a new album, or choose one of your existing albums. User Gallery is for photos of your final projects or other photos. Please do not upload patterns to personal user albums. We're trying hard to keep things organized so patterns are easy to find. When I see them in personal user albums, it looks to me as if they're mis-categorized. Then I have to cross reference against the pattern library, etc etc. So, patterns in personal user albums will be removed. If you want to keep a record of your patterns, a better place would be in the Blogs feature if you want to keep your stuff in one place. If you do this, please upload the patterns to the Pattern Library too. That's where everybody goes to look for patterns. Lastly, copyrighted and licensed material isn't allowed on SSV. For more information about copyrights, you can check out this post. Copyrighted material will be removed without notification. It just takes too much time to exchange emails with the uploader explaining why we're removing the pattern. So I'm just going to remove them without warning. Photos of final projects is fine. But the sharing copyrighted patterns is the sticking point. Trying to keep everything organized takes a tremendous amount of time and effort. While these guidelines have been in place since the beginning of SSV, I just wanted to put out the reminder. Thanks Y'all!

blights69 Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 Not sure I understand or is it just me but I thought the New Pattern Announcement was where to put the new patterns in as most people browsing the threads will see the header new pattern announcements and head there am I right in thinking I should be posting a pattern to the pattern gallery then going to the new pattern announcement and saying there is a new pattern in the pattern library but not putting a pattern on the thread or do I just post a picture of the pattern to both ??? Confused.com ? I want to know as I can only imagine the time it takes to keep this site going and do not want to clog it up by posting in the wrong place or posting the picture to many times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will auto generate and embed the image in the post. Or you can post it in both places. The important thing is to have it in the Pattern Library, too. So many great patterns are getting lost in the old forum posts. If it's in the Pattern Library, it's all in one place and easier to find. I posted an example below. blights69 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerry1939 Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 Travis. My old brain never did work well. On Jan. 27 & 30 I posted Word Art in "New Patterns". Tried to do the same in "Patterns - Word Art" but both ended up in "Gallery" not "Patterns - Word Art". Loaded by "Selecting" from desktop. Windows 7. It appears that this idiot doesn't understand your posting, "POST A LINK". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windows 7. It appears that this idiot doesn't understand your posting, "POST A LINK". New patterns can only be uploaded to the New Patterns category. The other pattern categories can't be uploaded to directly. Every so often, I move the patterns from the New Patterns category to the most appropriate category so people can find them easier. To post a link, just copy the URL from your web browser and paste it into a forum thread. It will auto-embed. Did that answer your question? blights69 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerry1939 Posted January 31, 2018 Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 I just checked "Pattern Gallery". 1 of the 2 (the latest one) is listed there, but not under the Word Art category, where I tried to put it. I wasn't aware that we couldn't post there ourselves, so YES that answered the question. Thank You Sir !!! Travis and blights69 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
