New Personal Sub-Galleries

We have added a new 'Personal Sub-Gallery' feature to our website for our Premium Members. This new feature allows you to split apart your portfolio into multiple sections. You can now have a different portfolio page for sketches, photographs, digital work, traditional work, etc. You decide how you want to split apart your portfolio and what to name each section. You can have as many Sub-Galleries as you like for each type of art you want to upload.

If you are a premium member, there is a new section for Sub-Galleries on the screen where you upload or edit your images. Simply select your desired sub-gallery from the drop-down list, or create your own. Once you have 2 or more sub-galleries, your main portfolio page will change to give the user the option to select the sub-gallery they want to view. They can always click back to your 'main menu' or simply surf the images in a specific category.

If you have been wanting to break apart your portfolio into different categories, it's simple to do. Just click on the MANAGE PORTFOLIO button in your members area, then click on the EDIT button to make changes to the image you selected. Pick your new sub-gallery for the image and repeat this process for each image you want to categorize.

This new feature does not effect your custom portfolio layout or background image, these will all stay the same. To see an example of our new sub-galleries, click here.

On a related note, we have added page numbers to everyone's portfolio that has over 10 images. Because of this, we have reduced the number of images on screen - which makes your portfolio page load much faster. The number of images per page, depends on your thumbnail settings and if a custom layout has been chosen by the artist. You still have the option to VIEW ALL images on one page, but this is no longer the default view. The images in your portfolio are sorted from newest to oldest.

We hope everyone enjoys these new features - they have been requested by many of our members. Also, if you haven't upgraded to a Premium Account yet, maybe now is the time? You can do this on the UPGRADE ACCOUNT button in your members area. Have fun!
