New Feature! Stock Photo Picker

[Glenn]

In case you missed it I upgraded the forums last weekend.  Well I wanted to let you in on another new feature that I just enabled: Stock Photo Picker

 

We have come a long way since the late 90s when someone had the genius idea of using a small yellow smiling face image instead of the more common colon-bracket representation of a smiling face.

 

In these forums, there are various places that photography can be used to create visual interest. From uploads in topics, to cover photos for members, and even avatars.

 

The humble upload field has served these areas well, but sourcing images to use can be a pain; especially when you have to walk the minefield that is copyright and attribution. Fortunately, there are a few "CC0" online stock photo libraries that offer quality photography that requires no attribution and are not hampered by copyrights. One such library is the ever-popular Pixabay, which was established in 2012 and has over a million images ready to use, from llamas to boat trailers and everything in-between.

 

The BassResource forums now includes support for Pixabay which brings those images to your fingertips (or mouse pointer if you're on a desktop.)

 

Here's an image I found in seconds....

 

As you can see, not only can you upload into posts from the stock photo library, but you can also use it to add a cover image to your profile.

 

Finding quality photography has never been so easy!

 

 

Enjoy!

Dude - seriously - you need to have Keri drag you out to the lake for some fishing...you're turning into a geek behind the computer keyboard.

 

Really, these upgrades are cool...
