Please, I just don't get it! I did a google search for a Japanese idol name and was provided this link
REMOVE SPAMMY LINK. But the pictures are tiny thumbnails that are not links to larger pictures. I created an account: I am Whisperer & have a password but when I go to the above page it will not accept my log/pass so I guess they are someone elses pics or am I doing things wrong? Do I have to download the software here: http://gallery.menalto.com/ to make the small images work as links to full size images. Really, I'm not dumb but I don't understand what is expected of me here on your, seemingly lovely site. There is no explaination of anything in any format that I understand and this area (called a forum) does not look like any forum I ever joined ... looks like a tech support email question page?!?! Please help me get it. I don't even know if I'm going to be uploading images. Am I allowed to download the pictures at the above first link??? Thank you. Whisperer

Gallery is software that runs on a site. Who ever owns that website is using the Gallery software. We have absolutely zero control over how it's used. You'll need to contact the owner of that site if you're looking for bigger pictures.

This forum is a tech support forum for the Gallery software. For example, Gallery is not a site like Flickr, but the software that would run a site like Flickr.

Thank you for orienting me. I can see this is an MP (my problem) and not a YP.

You see I was looking for an Avatar-link leading to page-owner info and found nothing except that I saw the logo for "Gallery" in the upper left corner and a link to you guys in the very (scroll way down) lower left corner here:
REMOVE SPAMMY LINK
so I thought you were one in the same.

If you (or anyone) have got a second, could you click on the link and tell me how YOU would find the owner? Or download the full size images? Again, I know it's not a YP but I'd sure appreciate any advise.

Thanks again to you or anyone else who replies.

PS: I Like your concept by the way. Will problably revisit after I meet a graphics job deadline.

I think this thread is link-spam; it certainly has nothing to do with G2.

Yeah, this type of confusion happens every once in awhile. Could be a spammer, could just be someone confused about what someone totally unrelated to the Gallery project is running on their site.

@Whisperer, if you are indeed not a spammer, there is no need to post those links again. There is nothing we can do about some individual's installation of Gallery.
