Title: Flick'r Group for Cockersonline members
Post by: Cob-Web on August 28, 2008, 08:21:30 PM: POSTED WITH ADMIN PERMISSION!

I have set up a Flick'r Group for members of CockersOnline forum to post and comment on each others pictures, take part in themes and challenges and share tips and techniques. ;)

If, like me until recently, you've never heard of it - Flick'r is an image hosting and editing site that offers free basic membership and offers space to upload photos, organise them into folders, edit them and share them with others. Flick'r Groups allow people with common interests to share and discuss their photos.

I have kicked off a few Discussions to get things going, and hopefully, it will become a fun place, just like COL is ;)

So, if you don't already have a Flick'r account, set one up, and get snapping.
CockersOnline at Flick'r (http://www.flickr.com/groups/cockersonline/)

The technical bits: - to begin with, I've made the group invitation only to avoid the problems that some Flick'r Groups have with spam and unsuitable content.
Set up your Flick'r account here (http://www.flickr.com/) if you don't have one, then find the Cockersonline Group (http://www.flickr.com/groups/cockersonline/), to have a look and then click to join :D That will send a message to the Admin box which I'll check regularly, but bear with me, as I'm pretty new to this! It would help me hugely if you put your Cockeronline username in the message box - thanks :D

Post by: Cob-Web on September 10, 2008, 08:08:15 PM: It's gone a bit quiet over on the Flick'r site; has anyone any suggestions for a new theme, competition or challenge? I've got my internet connection up and running again so no excuse for me not to start snapping again ;)

Post by: White Bryony on September 10, 2008, 08:51:47 PM: I went a little mad and used all my upload for the month - I should have been a bit more discriminating on what I uploaded ph34r

Only another 3 weeks to go!

You could have a different theme every week - this weeks could be the wettest dog competition :005:

Post by: Sian P on October 24, 2008, 12:33:50 PM: For the monthly challenge, is there a limit to how many entries we may have each? I have a picture but didn't want to load it up just yet in case I get a better one over the next week IYSWIM.

Post by: Colin on December 05, 2008, 11:22:31 PM: I've been meaning to join this for ages but haven't got round to it. I don't tend to take my camera out with me much these days, maybe it would be an incentive to do so. ph34r

I also thought it might be an idea to set up a COL group for videos on Youtube, although I haven't a clue how you go about doing it ( despite reading the Youtube instructions). Would anyone be interested ?

Post by: SkyeSue on December 06, 2008, 03:14:00 PM: Kept seeing this on the board, but never looked at it, cos didn't know what it meant; therefore presumed it would be too complicated for me :005: Having seen Colin's post about setting up the utube thingy though, I've just got to sign up and have a nosey! I doubt I'll be contributing, unless I get a fluke good pic :005: but I just love looking at all you guys' pics and videos!!!!!

Post by: coralee on March 20, 2010, 01:07:41 AM: Being a bit of a Flickr junkie - I've joined the group - but it doesn't look very active any more - should I not post into the group?

:D
Title: Re: Flick'r Group for Cockersonline members
Post by: 6thSense on March 20, 2010, 09:19:03 AM: Most of the posts seem to be 2008 and I've never seen this thread before, so I would say that if it doesn't look active it isn't anymore. Maybe someone with more knowledge will be along to help you. :huh:
Title: Re: Flick'r Group for Cockersonline members
Post by: Colin on March 20, 2010, 11:47:29 AM: There doesn't seem to have been any discussion for a while but people are still uploading photos to the group - so go for it.
Title: Re: Flick'r Group for Cockersonline members
Post by: coralee on March 20, 2010, 01:07:32 PM: Is COBWEB still with us here on COL? Seems they are the admin for the Flickr group - so anyone who wants to join won't be able to unless COBWEB Okay's it. It's a shame, as there's some lovely pics on there :D
Title: Re: Flick'r Group for Cockersonline members
Post by: Helen on March 20, 2010, 02:53:49 PM: she'll get the message from Flickr and I'm sure she'll activate your account ;)

Post by: hollyd443 on March 20, 2010, 02:56:54 PM: Where did CobWeb go? I noticed quite some time ago that she's not been around and she used to post lots every day?
Title: Re: Flick'r Group for Cockersonline members
Post by: ClareB on March 20, 2010, 06:30:19 PM: I noticed she hadn't been online for a while ages ago. I did PM her, but didn't get a response. :-\
