WHY does it take SO LONG to get my picture on the USM JUNKIES SITE?????

I am sure that many of you wonder just why it takes a while to get your pics on the Junkies site. The truth is that these days I don't have an awful lot of free time. Obviously when I do have time I am more than happy to work on the site.

Below is exactly what it takes to add just ONE new person to the site:

1. Check User ID# matches the alias given on the e.mail.

2. Resize file / picture to fit page (occasionally reformat the file as well).

3. Copy tag from USM.

4. Make page, adding background, name, User ID# and tag.

4a. If more than 2 pics then make extra pages and hyperlink them together.

5. Hyperlink User ID# and tag back to user's story list at USM.

6. Arrange picture(s) on page.

7. Add page to numerical index.

8. Add page to alphabetical index.

9. Add to random page generator list.

10. Add to 'find by author ID#' page.

11. Add to 'Recent Additions' Page.

12. Upload each file into the correct place at the Junkies site.

13. Check all index entries and hyperlinks work on the new page(s).

14. Message User to inform them that their pics are uploaded.

As you can see, it's not just a case of dumping a picture on a ready-made page, each page is made individually.

Updates don't take as long, the pages are already there and it's just a case of swapping the pictures for the new ones and removing the old ones from the server...same goes for tag updates. Name changes take a few moments longer but are also pretty quick.

Removing a User takes a while, simply deleting the pictures would leave a lot of broken links and make the site unpleasant to use. The User has to be removed from all the indexes as well as removed from the server.....quite annoying when the picture hasn't been up for longer than a week or so...doubly annoying when that person decides shortly afterwards that they want to go back on the site....Grrrr!

So you see people, whereas some of you have been lucky to catch me when I have a few moments to spare, some of you have had to wait a while. It's not that I don't want to put you there immediately, I just don't always have the time.

Admittedly, once I get going, it probably takes me less than 10 mins to add a new User (yes, I'm fast) but sometimes 5 mins spare is a luxury.

To all of you who have been patient...thank you. I enjoy doing the site and intend keeping it going for a LONG time yet.

Hugggggss
