Time to move "Exposure" back to "General Backcountry"

[Mohamed Ellozy]

From another thread that I do not wish to hijack:

This site's Photography forum has an inch of dust on it, so this is going here.

I believe that Darren's vision for Exposure was as an alternative forum for serious photographers who wished to critique each others photos and discuss advanced issues.

Instead it has become an alternative to General Backcountry for threads that, by and large, are of potential interest to any outdoors person who owns a camera. In any case the volume is so minuscule that moving it will not inconvenience those who have no interest in photography.

Time to shut it down and move its contents to where we can all see them!

I'm not sure what you mean. I can see 'Exposure' when I view the site, did I have to do something special?

 

[Mohamed Ellozy]

You had to sign up for the special group or whatever vBulletin calls it.

 

[Framerman]

I personally don't see a forum named "exposure". I'm assuming it is a hidden user group?

It's opt-in. Open to all, but you must opt-in to it.

If you opt-in, then it will show up when you visit the board. The idea was to centralize photography. A good point made about things posted there not being seen by everyone. Perhaps folks who read this will 'opt-in' and then the section is available to those who want to look around it from time to time but they don't have to have photography-only posts show up in Gen'l Backcountry.

Hmm. Not obvious to me how to opt in, and a quick search was unavailing. Help?

Thanks for your help, Peakbagr. So having entered "Photographer", I'm in that group now and will see those posts?

Yes, but PLEASE do not hold your breath until you see a post

You're asking to get moderator privileges Mohamed

Time for Mohamed to take one of those hiking adventure trips and post all his pics in "Exposure".

But only if he promises to shoot in large format.
