Message CanIHave4Beers P beers 4373 º places 76 º 07:35 Thu 2/14/2013 Originally posted by NobleSquirrel I don’t really like when the beers picture is a growler or a pint glass of beer, but that’s just me... How about when it’s a picture of a chesty lady chugging a 40oz?

I’m just sayin’ Florida raters are busy. No time for commercial descriptions, image uploads, listing the correct style or even the correct commercial names of beers. Quit picking on us. Just be grateful we’re even members here.
Message hopscotch beers 11919 º places 307 º 07:40 Thu 2/14/2013 Actually, pin an admin post to the main page of the forums with the correct procedure for uploading an image and the number of pics would probably increase a great deal. The procedure by which we are to upload images is fuzzy for me since it’s been changed at least twice over the past twelve months or so.

I try to upload as many of those pics as possible- is there an easier way than emailing photos@ratebeer.com? Use the ’add beer’ link on a beer’s page. I might have a photo of Cigar City Leon still. That was quite a memorable beer! I don’t EVEN know what you are referring to here. Seriously, what link on what beer’s page?

I missed the meeting and never got around to picking up the hand-out.

Message DietPepsican P beers 1592 º places 63 º 09:51 Thu 2/14/2013 Doesn’t Cigar City brew dozens of variants every day? that would be tough to keep up and still get your ticks in.

Message GT P beers 10001 º places 672 º 09:51 Thu 2/14/2013 Originally posted by puzzl Originally posted by cgarvieuk ahh thats USER faults. If there was a better interface for adding pictures, we’d see a whole lot more pictures. I’ve been touting a per-beer gallery feature for many years, where users can easily upload pictures of a specific beer and not have to have everything run through a slow, sometimes non-existent approval process. Each beer will now have multiple pictures associated with it in a new gallery that don’t have to have the stringent guidelines of current premier pics. We can have tap handles, pints, people drinking it at a festival, bottlecaps, artsy shots, etc. If abuse is a concern, simply add in a report button for each picture that will put the photo in the admin queue for approval or deletion. Easy as that. Couple this with an API for app developers to use so they can upload versions straight from their phone without having to jump through hoops like in the current verson—I’m talking on Android take photo -> universal share button -> Ratebeer -> search beer name -> pick beer -> done—and we’ll end up with tens or even hundreds of pictures per beer. It will be more interesting, it will be more interactive, it will be fun for users, and it will provide more data to the site. And it won’t be an admin nightmare, as JoeT is about to say, because admins don’t have to do anything but clear the reported queue, which is a trivial action and will likely be quite short. See, this is an awesome idea because beer labels change over time. It would be nice to have the already supported Flickr gallery just scroll through pictures on the beer’s page if there is more than one. Not sure if this will make the site run slowly though.

They brew a lot, but a lot of those beers and blends aren’t bottled or even growlered, so there would only be a pic of a pint or snifter.
