Improving Mindat.orgPhoto Gallery Photo Type

In My Home Page > My Photos > Photo type drop down box, there are no options. Is this a future feature, or is something missing.


Also, no option to view "My POTD" or option to search for just parent or just child images.

"Photo type drop down box, there are no options. Is this a future feature, or is something missing." - You need to select one of the photo categories (drop down menu to the left) to activate the photo type drop down menu.


POTD - Go to photo search and type in "my POTD"

David - I prefer the traditional photo layout format in the "My Home Page > My Photos" path rather than the mouse-over format style that results from the photo search page. I guess one can adapt to new ways.


Also, there is no way to search photos and get child images as a search result. For example, I have 24 "other" type photos, but when I select 'other' option, only two appear, as the remaining 22 are all child photos. Would be nice to have "show child photos" as a search option

These changes will come!

It would be nice to pick how you want to display the galleries and searches (only a little more complicated than the light or dark background to the photos).
