Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

What about a facebook page for the book? I know it would probably generate ALOT of interest in submitting a photo but if it was limited to current boards members only and not those who join just to submit a photo? Or would that be just too messy?
It would reach a lot of people interested in photograph, and possibly drum up sales?
Do the photos submitted to the book set out the particulars used to take the photo i.e. auto appurture/shutter speed settings, or a one liner about the photo? This might be an idea to help with the sales for as some folks might buy with the hope of learning something from the book?
Just my tuppence worth!
We have a Facebook page up and running - http://www.facebook.com/boardsphotobook
Photos have a 1 liner description about them in the book, as much or as little as the person would like to include about the photo

I (my wife) would be able to make cupcakes.
BUT it depends on if I will be able to attend- is there any rough date- what month even?
We need to get a team together before we can plan the launch date - normally it is the 3rd weekend in November I think.. but if we don't have a team to get the book together by the end of September, I'm not sure if it will go ahead

Ok, you can put me down for cupcakes & other food stuff.
I can do some marketing as well- through my blog, twitter etc.0 -

Thank you There will be no books for 'delivery' this year as there was in previous years I'm afraid, it'll be either pay for postage or collect on the night.
As suggested elsewhere include postage for everyone in the price
Those who collect on the night still pay it (its a fixed price) and the saving is donated to SSF ?0 -

How do you submit a photo to the book?
We will be looking for photos from any member of boards.ie at the end of the month, once the 'team' are set up Anyone can submit, on the condition they purchase a copy of the book and all proceeds then go to charity! This year it will be announced when the payments will be accepted and first to pay up are in, there are limited spaces but the only limitation to getting a place is not acting quickly

I'm glad to see that this great project is back up and on the move again. Thanks to Cork_Girl for kicking us back into action.
I'd love to give a dig out, however my skills/time don't allow for marketing & design. I do have big burley muscles so could help out with logistics/distribution/packaging or bouncer on the night

In terms of exhibition on the night - there was a suggestion to have prints done of the images in the book and that would need to be organised from a point of view of physical prints/hanging/mounting etc. IF it was to go ahead.. they could then be sold on the night with a portion going to the Charity.. just a thought.
For marketing - we need someone to take ownership of getting the word out there, organising a press release, help market the book.. all of us in the book with then help get the word out there on our own blogs/twitter/facebook etc. but we need someone dedicated to marketing the book also.
For launch night, DCC have always been really supportive and helpful - but perhaps a differnet venue may be more suitable if we are to have an exhibition/etc?
Logistics also includes managing getting books to people and keeping track of who has what. This year that will be straight forward because we will all be paying for postage up front Just keeping track of it on the night and then sending off the ones that are not collected (prepaid for postage).
Any other suggestions? 0 -

...not sure how good of an idea this is but would it be worth it to actually set up a website/fb or something like that allowing people (be it from boards or general public) to bid on the prints? Or would that be too much hassle? We could display the prints on the launch night and only hand them over afterwards; any 'unsold' ones could be for sale on the night?
If I'm overthinking the whole thing, please, feel free to shoot the idea down... 0 -

That sounds really good - a bit like the auction that was held for the Ray Club in Trim last year?0 -

Not sure what was done for the Club (sorry
). Just remembered that something along those lines happened on pix.ie a few years back. Photos were tagged for auction and whoever wanted a print contacted the tog with their bid; the highest bidder got the print.
I'm not suggesting we should do it the same way as all the pix were scattered over pix.ie but maybe we could set up a new account (if the site T's & C's permit) and upload the pix (small versions only and only if permitted by their authors) there and either let people offer their bids under each photo or provide a contact where they could submit their bid to. Or we might just look into setting up a temporary website that could do the same thing...
Does anybody know (without any lengthy research) if any of this would actually be viable? If not, will do some research and pm project managers with results...?0 -
