Please can you put understandable captions on your pictures. I find ones like "329F94C9 37FB 4022 BB91 7C47393EEAD9" totally undecipherable.
Even something like "2019 Vera Playa" on all of a sequence of pictures would be a great help.

I'm not a media centre member (I'm shy...) but I guess "329F94C9 37FB 4022 BB91 7C47393EEAD9" is probably the name of the photo from the .exif data or from where it was previously posted, FB and the rest usually give each image a unique ref

A name or a description on a pic would be good, at least then we get an idea of what we're seeing, a load  of letters or numbers is meaningless.

Sorry John, all have now been given their location almost all from our holidays around Europe right up to present in Puglia. Mostly we travel to locations which are openly naturist or to places where we can pursue naturism without too much disturbance.
I have reinstated many of our original pictures having removed them a few months ago through disillusionment with media content. It can be very interesting to see fellow naturists on location and following their interests, but some of the contributions had become quite mundane. Media centre should show the best of naturist pursuits whenever possible. I quite understand that many find it a step too far to ‘expose’ themselves in this way but we feel it is as safe as you can get ‘on the net’.

Pleas note that it is the title above the picture that you should enter. The description below it is extra and does not show until you open the picture to view it.
This is easily missed if you don't know about it as it is usually pre-filled with whatever coding your own photo storage uses.

This is somthing that I have often noticed john, and since the comment option has been removed,  it is more difficult to find the origin of a photo, or the circumstances in which it was taken. I have on the odd occasion PM'ed the contributor,  but I am weary of unwanted PM's.

Absolutely agree, this was part of my disillusionment as I have commented. It should be more than just the photo, locations especially give everyone at least some idea of where naturism is welcomed or possible. I would much rather have the opportunity for a comment rather than the rating which is a very blunt and subjective tool!

[admin]Sadly, in general, when the comments system was in place the comments made were often extremely 'blunt' and highly 'subjective'. Just saying. A viable solution to prevent this happening was never found resulting in moderators having to spend an unrealistic amount of time monitoring it. [/admin]

Fair enough....and fully understand, but still a shame.

It is truly unfortunate that both this site and the BN forum should attract the wrong sort of comment on naturist pictures.
The BN forum has had to be set up so that every comment is subjected to moderation before it appears under the picture.

I didn't  realise that was an issue on here. I understand now why the comments were disabled.
