legolijntje Posted June 16, 2011 I just saw you can see when a folder or file is created and when it was last modified. Is this new, or are my eyes just bad? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Legostein Posted July 19, 2011 Hello! And again, it seems there is a modertaing/updating break for reasons we don't know. I find it sad and also a bit frustrating, because we - the fans - give live to the site. Which is hard when the updates are queued for days. I am sorry to bother you with this, but I had to say it somewhere. Because I'd like to share some instructions with you since saturday, and I simply can't.

snefroe Posted July 19, 2011 hm... some things never change, it seems... still, i prefer brickshelf to flickr. it's a dedicated gallery for Lego, it's fairly easy to use and i feel the normal photos on flickr are just too small to see much details on any displayed model Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_spock Posted July 20, 2011 Deeplinking still works from BrickShelf even if your folder hasn't been moderator approved. Flickr costs $25 per year if you go over 200 photos. Photobucket has a monthly bandwidth limit (not good if you post a popular picture review on EuroBricks). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
simonwillems Posted July 20, 2011 Hello! And again, it seems there is a moderating/updating break for reasons we don't know. Well, we can guess why can't we? The guy maintaining it is probably on holiday, he deserves a break from moderating... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CopMike Posted July 20, 2011 I met and talked to the founder of Brickshelf, Kevin Loch, at Brickworld Chicago earlier this year. He will keep it running and has a list of features that he´d like to add. I guess that there in a not to far away future will be some help/backing up from a company to improve it etc. And I also think like you simonwillems, that he on a well earned holiday !

I guess that there in a not to far away future will be some help/backing up from a company to improve it etc. Great to hear that there are still plans for Brickshelf. I always liked the idea of having a LEGO-only image hosting site. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Legostein Posted September 11, 2011 Can't find my gallery or login! any one have the same problem? Hello, no worries, that happens quite regularly recently. I always hope that this is for maintenance reasons. So, relax, take some time for building, and have a look again later. Usually it then works again.

KotZ Posted September 30, 2011 I'm trying to create a new sub-folder, but for some reason, I can't create one. I keep getting the error screen where it says only certain characters can be used; I'm using all of those characters correctly... Is this just something up for me, or is it happening to others?

LEGO Guy Bri Posted September 30, 2011 I'm trying to create a new sub-folder, but for some reason, I can't create one. I keep getting the error screen where it says only certain characters can be used; I'm using all of those characters correctly... Is this just something up for me, or is it happening to others? Are you using the space bar in the folder title? If you have multiple words you can only use this, - to space them. That and the A through Z and 0 through 9. You can only use the space bar in the folder description. It's really dumb and annoying but that might be that problem Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KotZ Posted September 30, 2011 (edited) Oh, sorry about the new topic. Forgot the search button, whoops. Anyway, for my title I've tried "AssassinsCreed"; "Assassins Creed"; "Assassins_Creed"; and "Assassins-Creed", all without the quotes. No idea why it won't let me. EDIT: I found the problem. There was a random apostrophe in the tags... I feel really stupid now. Thanks for the help though, everybody! My knowledge has expanded!

brickitect Posted December 25, 2011 Hi, Just checking if anyone has the same problem as I am: I am unable to see any picture in Brickshelf. I can see the folder picture but when I click to go into the folder, the folder is always empty. I have tried a few users' gallery and all have same problem. Also I tried both Firefox and IE8.

It's not just you that is having this problem, it is a problem with the website. I think this is not the first time Brickshelf has had this problem. A while back, the owner (whoever he/she is) had taken it down without warning or notification. There was quite a bit fuss over it. Eventually it came back, after a few days. We'll have to wait and see what happens this time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
