Media Browser Community Tracker

Email flood, well I hope not (and image galleries)

EDIT

Email notification is now off. I feel like I have been bombarded with emails this week. There must be a better way. Its back to the drawing board on this. I will push for RSS support for those wanting up to the second notifications.

END EDIT

I just turned on email notifications on the tracker. It has pretty fine grained configuration on your user page (check the Settings tab)

By default I am fairly aggressive with the notifications, if you find I am being too aggressive let me know.

And did I mention, my first iteration of the fan-art is up and running, I cache thumbs for all the images you post so its nice and fast.

To create your own image gallery, just create an unordered list of images, for example the gallery above was created with:

 - ![Hopefully this will not lead to spam][1]
 - ![Make sure you change your settings][2]
 - ![This should make ebr happy][3]

  [2]: http://community.mediabrowser.tv/uploads/site_1/35/email_settings.png
  [3]: http://community.mediabrowser.tv/uploads/site_1/36/emai2.png

It couldn’t get any easier! Just type then click this image button and select the url where your image is at.

I created a special category for fan art, feel free to post any cool pictures of your setup, or share any useful graphics with the community!

Note: my background fanart generation task, is still in beta, it may take a while for it to generate your gallery.

Very cool. CT is really developing nicely.

I really like the image gallery option. Saves a lot of space by using the thumbnails and has a nice look. the alt-text function is really useful. Now where did I post all those image links?

With respect, the email notification needs a bit more work. Excellent that we have it, but it needs a bit more finer control. I've posted my thoughts here.

Keep up the good work Sam!

Ok, started my own fanart topic, although I'm not sure how your images are clickable to view a larger image.

I just read this “Note: my background fanart generation task, is still in beta, it may take a while for it to generate your gallery.” I'm guessing that may be my issue.

Sam! How did you make the images clickable to reveal a larger image popup??

I created my images in the fanart, they don’t have the same reaction. Am I missing something??
