Jim the title of this topic is Forum Moderation , it's for things in the forums that require a moderators attention.
Issues with users' accounts should be reported directly to the Admins. Advertising is best reported to spam@

[Tomas K☼h☼ut]

JBM, thanks, but...

You gave photo, not user ID.
User has no posts in forum, but yes, purpose of his gallery is advertising his business.

Cases like that shall be reported to admins via email as spam (or by pressing inappropriate button):
http://www.panoramio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=31846

This thread is for reporting problems within forum only (thats all what can moderators do).

Update:
Galatas, this time you beat me!

The word "dating" in the word "Updating" In the Forums home page under "translations" has been made into a spam link.
(I thought you might want to know)

[Panamon-Creel]

Hmmm JB don't see what you're talking about. Do you run by any chance some plug-in with your web browser that creates automatic links with keywords?

[JBTHEMILKER]

The link is gone now.

[Denvish]

Hello,

Maybe this is only me, but all of the links posted by Draken in these two topics lead to a Error 500, whether clicking the link, or copy/pasting it to the address bar.

One

Two

Not sure whether the threads have been deleted, it's a forum coding error, or there's a problem at my end. I'm using Chrome on Windows 7 Ultimate.

[RoarX]

This is the wrong use of this thread, it's for reporting things which requires moderating. (spammers and trouble)

I can see both threads following your provided links. (Firefox 10 on Win XP pro)
Try closing the tab, delete cookies and try again.

[Denvish]

Apologies, I just thought that since they were stickied/Announcement threads, the links in the posts should be valid.

I wasn't referring to the threads I linked, rather the topics linked within those threads

Have cleared cache and am still getting error 500 on those links, both in Firefox and Chrome

The threads are PHOTO REVIEWING: Why my photo is not in Google Earth? and PHOTOS ON GOOGLE EARTH

I won't post in here again unless I see spammers or trouble :)

[RoarX]

OK, I understand now. In November the old forum was discarded, and all info was moved to this new one. For a while the links to other posts which were valid in the old forum worked, but not anymore. That's why you get the 500 error.

[Zdravo]

Above my photos write Hi, Zdravo. How delite Hi,.

[Matthew Walters]

You can't delete "Hi", it is part of the page layout.

(Please don't use this thread for this kind of question, it's for reporting forum topics which need moderation.)

[Amelia Royan]

I am not quite sure where to place this but there seem to be at least 2 users posting many copy and paste comments in rapid succession.  The first one is user 2268437 with this message:

Magnificent image! I ♥ it & golden ☆ ! ... 【ツ】

Greetings from Bulgaria,

He has posted at least 47  copy and paste comments at the rate of one a minute during the last hour.

The other user is 3100109 who posted this copy and paste message  at least 40 times in rapid succession yesterday:
Very nice image indeed , looks great ! .

Like !
Best wishes ,

I have replied explaining that this may be counted as spamming, but I don't suppose that ther reply will be read !

[Tomas K☼h☼ut]

Hi Amelia, 

spam (in comments, visual spam, etc.) shall be reported to admins - forum moderators cannot handle user accounts.

Please, use spam [at] panoramio-dot-com to report this.

This thread is intended for report of issues within forum (only area, where moderators can act directly).

[Amelia Royan]

Sorry Tomas.  Can you please delete my comment.

 I cannot report it to the other site as I don't have a gmail account.

[Tomas K☼h☼ut]

No problem Amelia with your post...

Sorry, I cannot understand... You must have some email, as you are registered on Panoramio. You also have Google Account, as you can post to forum - but having Google account or GMail is absolutely irrelevant. (Note: You can have Google account without GMail: anything @ gmail).

 

So you have some email address and you can send email to anybody in google or panoramio, if you know targer address.

Here it is: send email to spam at panoramio dot com. :)

[Amelia Royan]

All I get if I try to get in to Spam at Panoramio is and error message (500)

[hvbemmel]

to prevent spybots from harvesting email addresses we always adapt the address in the forum . an email format is add...@server.com 

we will i.e write that as address[at]server.com, in this case spam[at]panoramio.com. 

when you write your email you have to substitute [at] with @

[Amelia Royan]

When I try to search for spam [ at] panoramio.com, I get the following message:

You are about to log in to the site "panoramio.com" with the username "spam", but the website does not require authentication. This may be an attempt to trick you.  :))

<Mod edit RoarX> Changed email address to prevent harvesting from spy bots.

[RoarX]

What do you mean by "get in to" and "search for"? You just type the full email address into the address field of your email client and click send.

Sorry, Hans, you lost me there, or has this been dealt with by an other mod without further notice. 

[RoarX]

Herman, the message in question seem to have been deleted. Before that, there was a mod edit in the message (not me).

So...
"...has this been dealt with by an other mod without further notice"

Yes, it looks like it.

[Bruce Comfort]

Hello users and administrators.

I am very pleased to have been encouraged to use Panoramio to pursue my interests in the heritage of engineering in New Zealand and to have been given the opportunity to post photos which, if they were just random images, would have been rejected under the terms of use of Panoramio.  Panoramio is thus, for me, fulfilling a desire to both showcase past and present New Zealand, complement the work of those Panoramio users who take all their own photos and are artists in their own right and give anyone who stumbles upon a photo of mine on Google Earth the chance to explore my country and its heritage.

However, something has changed in Panoramio since the introduction of "best photos"

Now when I am logged on and I select one of my "tags" all the tagged pictures come up BUT if I click on one and then go "next"  "next" "next" Panoramio hops out of the tagged <directory> and shows other photos - to me - seemingly at random or in some other sequence.  Before it stayed in the <directory> and I could cycle around adding or amending comments logically.

I trust you all know what I am driving at?

Can this be fixed?

I know what you're driving at; had the same problem this week.I will report.

[Panamon-Creel]

A reminder on the purpose of this thread:

Note: This topic is meant only for reporting issues within the Panoramio Forum and is not to be used for reporting issues outside of the Forum

Report spam, ask the moderators to delete a post, that you wrote in the wrong forum etc...

List of Forum Moderators

[Tomas K☼h☼ut]

I think this behaviour is standard... e.g. it was here even before some changes (like "best") were introduced. Or am I wrong? 

Next and Previous buttons on photo page always takes you only to next and previous photo in your gallery. Moreover, the context of underlying tagged sequence was unknown before (there was no "tag context" like we have now - compare single photo URL now:  http://www.panoramio.com/photo/28021339?tag=Lakes and before:  http://www.panoramio.com/photo/28021339

What seem to be completely new is a "photo explorer" started by clicking photo on photo page. This explorer keeps the context of tag (yes, context is passed from updated addressing scheme from single photo).

[hvbemmel]

Well, as I remember it I used a tag,went to a photo and could navigate within the tag then. Obviously I'm not the only one who remembers it like that. At the moment I'm looking for pictures to attach them to places. That means that using tags would be very nice without having to go back for every photo.

[leolund]

I'm sorry, did I miss something here?
 Is it now allowed to post pictures even if you are not the photographer?
 or are you very old?
I too like to see old pics but I thought copyright issues made this impossible on Panoramio???

I started a group called Food Art! However, it doesn't appear to be working. The first page is blank where photos should appear and members cannot see their photos after uploading them..

Have you read section 7 in the FAQ?

[Matthew Winn]

In the thread "Harrassing and Threatinging Images and Text" in this forum, someone has edited out the text of a link to an offender's page but not the target of the link itself, so clicking on it still works.

[Draken]

Thank you, Matthew.  Issue fixed.

• This has nothing to do with forum moderation
  
• we have a forum in Spanish language

• When you post a photo in Panoramio, you grant Google the right to use it as follows:

  • Host it
  • Display it
  • Make the photo available from the APIs

Hi there,

 

I’m new to Panoramio; have uploaded two photos as testing – less than 12 hours ago, but then, the photos didn’t show up in Google Earth.

 

What’s gone wrong?

 

Thanks!

[RoarX]

Hi JMMA.
First, this thread is only for moderating issues in this forum.
Secondly, please read 2.1 and 2.2 in the FAQ.
Then please read the rest of the FAQ and the help section to get to know Panoramio better.

[JMMA]

Thanks a lot for the FAQ link! Feel been lost actually. (",)

[CliveM]

You probably don't need me to point this out, but in case it drops down enough to be out of view, I think something should be done about the "f***ing google search engine why **** you do this" thread in Questions and Support.

[CliveM]

You obviously didn't need me to point it out. It's gone now. Thanks.

[J.Hackney]

Sorry to bother you again but although my google earth photos are now working and in the right place, several, which were on google earth before are no longer there! Can you please check - namely several sunset photos in Pangot plus one or two in Kaladhungi. Thanks! 

[hvbemmel]

This is not a question for forum moderation! I suggest you make a seperate thread providing photo id´s.

I find sunset photos from you in a cluster with a photo called Mountain Quail camp, also by you

Your username is the email address associated with your account. It's important that you have access to this one or nobody can help you. This is because the new password will be sent to this address.

help needed : there is a bug in a group AUTOPORTRAIT - when you open the page Photos with 36 photos, you can open the next page of 36 photos  but all other pages are bloqued. (there's 2400 photos in the group). The same if you open photo by photo in a kind of diaporama the same photos after the 72 first are boqued. Can you help to repair this bug. Thank you in advance. friendly greetings, Damir Perinic
