+thebruce0 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I know this feature has been requested in the past, but I'm not sure if it's been posted in this forum, and a search for key words hasn't pulled anything recent that I could find at least. Not sure if it's currently in the works or just under consideration, or already denied in any way. The request being re-posted is to have some level of notification of photo gallery uploads on your owned caches. I can think of a few possible manners of implementation, and a workaround or two... 1) immediate email notification -- problem is when multiple photos are uploaded, multiple emails would be sent (spammed, ymmv) 2) delayed email notification -- send a summary email of photos posted to a find log after an hour or two from its posting 3) daily digest email notification -- when an image is uploaded, the log or cache can be flagged so that once a day (or perhaps a week option) an email would be auto sent to the account owner containing a list of all owned caches that have new gallery images 4) better integration of a gallery summary in your profile view, so you can see the number of photos for each owned cache and the latest upload date -- this could replace the email function, by simply providing a live overview of your owned cache galleries.

Moun10Bike Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 We have the request in our database to notify cache owners when a photo is uploaded to a log. Quote Link to comment
ertyu Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Certainly a good idea. Quote Link to comment

Though, being a photo-logger myself, I won't be receiving as much Notifications as I will have the COs do in their mailboxes. ~ Dr.MORO Quote Link to comment
+northernpenguin Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 We have the request in our database to notify cache owners when a photo is uploaded to a log. Maybe add the watchlist to the notifications. Handy for group caches / events where people want to see the photos that get uploaded later without having to constantly re-scan the page.

+thebruce0 Posted December 9, 2011 Author Share Posted December 9, 2011 Good point. If a cache is on watchlist, add notifications for photo uploads. That could result in an exorbitant amount of email notifications though... I still think perhaps a periodic digest of photo upload notifications (on owned or watched caches) would suffice. Instant notification of uploads seems excessive, imo. Quote Link to comment
+MAntunes Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Was searching for feature requests about emails and saw this one. Good suggestion. I support it too. Quote Link to comment
