Just a reminder about the photo galleries: Please do not upload photos in "member galleries". You need to choose a category for your photos (brindle, pied, etc), and members is not a category - it is the master grouping.
If photos are uploaded with filenames that start by a numer (eg. 1mydog.jpg), there is no choice - I have to delete those. With photos uploaded in "members" that are otherwise correct, it is possible for me to move them manually to the correct category. BUT there is a significant problem with doing that: If another photo in that category already exists with the same filename, it will be overwritten and the new photo takes it's place. Which means that your photo ends up overwriting someone else's and will appear in their gallery instead of your own (and that member lost their photo).
6 photos were uploaded today - and every one of them was uploaded in members. I did move them all to their correct categories, because they had the sorts of filenames that have a fairly good chance of being unique - so I risked it (if anyone finds any "alien" photos in their gallery though, please say so). I can't keep doing that though - bearing in mind that there is no way to retrieve any overwritten photos, they are permanently lost. Future photos uploaded in "members" will have to be deleted.
So, when you're uploading photos on Bulldogworld, please take care to choose the correct category when you're uploading. It only takes a moment, and it saves the creation of a wide range of problems - not to mention frustration when your photos keep being rejected ;)
