Cubing Images/Memes, etc.

[pjk]

I've added a new section for images/media to the navbar:

Media

www.speedsolving.com

You can add your own cubing images, memes, collections, videos, etc. You can comment on others, share, embed, rate, etc. I noticed there isn't a good place to share and browse images, but seems to be interest in it. We need to come up with categories such as "Cubing Moments", "Memes", "Cubing Collections", etc. I will add a few to start, but can modify them as requested. You can also build your own albums on your profile and share with the community.

For example, I just added this image from Reddit today:

Can you describe/link to where you're referring to? I don't understand what you mean.

Like when in the album description, it say "can add media items : album owner" . But how to add people to be able to add media items like here....

For site categories, I can create them by request and then anyone can add into them. On your own profile, you can create albums as you wish.

I think he means the media leaderboard hasn't refreshed so it showed incorrect data.

What do you mean?

Can you make it select few?

Update: I've added a couple new site albums for the community to add to:
1) Cuber Puzzle Collections: Take a picture of your collection and share it with others

Cuber Puzzle Collections

Post a picture of your puzzle collection.

2) Reddit: Share posts from Reddit and rate/comment on them here

Posts from Reddit.

There are other albums for world record photos/videos, and competition images (share photos/videos from various WCA competitions around the world).

I think he means the media leaderboard hasn't refreshed so it showed incorrect data.

Which leaderboard? Latest comments/latest posts?

Can you make it select few?

What do you mean? Select few? Glad to add features by request, but please be clear about what exactly you request.

Good idea, though you can always PM your friends or show them this announcement thread. Most people don't know about this new feature yet, but as more people contribute, it will gain more traction.

I find it fun and interesting - would love to see more cuber collections, and more competition photos. I see many photos on FB but they are scattered everywhere - there is no central place to browse cubing images, at least as far as I know. I hope this will be a start for people to share their media content.

I have made a PM with the Aussie Cubers, though it would be easier if a feature like that existed

A good start would be sharing your album with others and/or encouraging people to view/share their content.

How to share?

EDIT: Also for some reason, I can't see ratings, even if they are there. It's just 5 stars still grayed out

By sharing does it give people ability to add media though?
