I searched a bit, but could not find the answer to this problem. I recently created a gallery for a '47 Ford 1 ton I bought. It is 5 pictures of the truck, 2 exterior, 1 engine, 2 interior. I have received an automated email from FTE saying my gallery is hidden from the gallery listings, saying something about gallery is for Ford trucks only, in yet that's what I have in my gallery, a Ford truck only. Did I do something wrong here? Just curious. Thanks in advance.

 

When you make a gallery or edit to change it there is a block that you need to check mark to make it hidden.



Hide Album [x]Check here if you wish to hide this album from the gallery list. This is useful for uploading images that you don't want listed on the main Gallery page, such as your avatar, diagrams for postings, photos for posting, etc.

 

I didn't want my gallery hidden. It was made hidden by FTE, even though it contains a Ford truck. It was visible in the listings before, but got hidden by FTE.

 

I see your trucks. Both a '46 and a '47. I'm partial to that body style. 'course I like alot of Fs.

 

Apparently, according the email I was sent by FTE, if you go to my gallery via the link in my user name you can view them. But if one were to try to find it in the galleries listing then you would not find it. I just unchecked the box to see if it would make it re-appear, and it did.
I am just curious to know how the 5 pictures of my truck violated the requirements for a non-hidden gallery.

 

Moved to proper forum.

Galleries containing trucks with missing parts or tech pics need to be hidden. Check the gallery content guidelines in this forum.

 

Content guideline's

Partial shots in the main page aren't cool & they are Better accessed through the user name.
Most users don't go wading through 1000's of albums on the main page.
Instead they go through the users link in their user name hyperlink.


Think of the main page as a Calendar.
Would you buy a calendar with a bunch of fender or bumper shots

or

FULL view shots of that truck ?


I know I wouldn't

Hope this helps.

 

The picture seen in the galleries listing was a front 3/4 view of the complete truck. The truck is complete. I guess engine and interior shots are the violations. I figured since some guys have pictures of their trucks disassembled for paint, etc mine was ok. I will hide the album i guess. Thanks

 

I went and had a look.

Those pics fall under the description of project pics & should be hidden according to the guideline's.

Had that been a shot of the Finished product (photographed sitting at a gas station or beside a grain elevator to add to the shot) that photo would be allowed.

So once that truck is finished it can be displayed on the main page


Hmmm an Idea !

Maybe someday someone will make a *Rusty Truck or Car Calendar*

also, have a look at other pics on the main page page 3 and further back to get an idea of what is allowed & what isn't.
