New Guild Album
I've now added a new page to the website. Bear with me if anything goes wrong with it, we're in the "trial and error" stage at the moment and there is a possibility that it just won't be able to do what I was hoping it would do ...
In theory, when you click on the "Album" link you will get an embedded "slideshow" of various screenshots (I've just put a couple in to start us off). This has been created through Photobucket and in theory should enable anyone to upload and/or comment on pictures. Fingers crossed
Have a play with it, see what you think, and let me have your feedback - does it work, can you upload stuff, is it too complicated (can you even get into it?!).
Have fun
Having a quick play with it myself, it appears that you need to be a registered user of Photobucket in order to upload a photo/screenshot.
It is a very quick and easy process, if you don't already have an account, and it is a great resource for being able to link images on forums, amend images, etc.
On the Album page, click on the "back to main view" button:
Once there, click on the "upload now" button, where you will be allowed to either login or create a new account (which, if you have a facebook page, can be created with the facebook button).
Let me know if there are any problems.

Very snazzy! Would be cool if we get get a snap of everyone or just everyones individual characters or something?
It does look pretty, doesn't it? :P
Only time will tell how well it works as a guild album - at the moment anyone with a photobucket account can add to that, so there is the possibility of it being abused, and also I don't know what it will be like once there are a ton of photos/screenshots on there - but there is only one way to find out!

Works really easy, you can sign in with facebook as well it seems if you dont have a photobucket account (I did already had an account with Photobucket tho so didnt actually click the FB link). Ive uploaded 3 photos, did miss the old widget from the other website actually that had the random shots on the guild front page so this is very cool. Hope, like you say, it being open to anyone doesnt lead to it being abused by random weirdo's!
... other than the random weirdos in the guild anyway :P
So I guess my next task is to try and incorporate the random photo thing into a widget :P
Unfortunately it was one of the good things about the last site (one of the few good things), that it had a decent sized storage capacity - this one has 5 Mb i think it is, so no good for a gallery unless we pay subs to it.
