BP Sorting Enhancement


Just wanted to say "Thanks" to BP for the enhancement to the Photo Sort Order feature, in the Member Center! The new drag-n-drop interface is really nice, as a visual way to sort my photos, vs. the traditional drop-down numbering lists. (Which is still available for use.) It took me a little bit to get used to the drag-n-drop, but I definitely prefer it over the drop-downs!

Thanks for the note ... glad you like this new feature!! (BTW, I like it too!) I will pass along the kudos to BP's tech crew.

Thanks again for taking the time to comment!

FYI: The drag-and-drop sorting capability was also added to the Deluxe and Pro BetterPholio sites!

  I like it too.
...But one minor critique worth mentioning is that photo categories on some Deluxe and Pro BetterPholio sites are quite large (containing a hundred or more images).
Since the drag and drop screen only displays 25 thumbnail photos at a time, for anything intended to be repositioned below the first page, one must drag and drop a photo near the bottom of the screen, release it...then scroll the screen down 25 photos at a time...re-click, drop, and re-drag (etc.) to get to where the photo will eventually be positioned.

Is it possible to refine the system so that a dragged photo will "auto-scroll" through the remainder of the category when it reaches the bottom of the first set of 25?

  Good point, Bob... happens that way too, in the Premium Gallery... If I want to move a photo from position 1 to say, #60, I have to drop it somewhere around 35 (the most images I can see, on my large office monitor) use the scroll bar to move the view further down, then drag it from 35 to 60... Auto-scroll, when your mouse hits the window's lower frame, would be a great tweak!

  How about when you want to respond to a long post, and then have to scroll down the whole post again to type. Then getting back to the forum is also a pain.

  Sorry, one more thing. The last activity is out of order in time. So if I post now it comes up as the fifth post depending on what time zone you are in.

  I just use the back button.
I don't know what you mean by the time of the last activity.
