There are a number of long-running photo threads (Lens clubs, camera clubs) that have grown quite large and tedious to explore. For example, I want to look through the "Post your medium format photos" thread but there are currently 670 pages to click and scroll through.

Is there a way to see all of the photos contained or linked to in a thread in one page? I'm thinking along the lines of Google Image Search or Flickr Photostreams where you get a feed of thumbnails and can click on the ones that interest you.

Sorry if this has already been asked/suggested- I only did a cursory search.

We could conceivably display the photos in a gallery format similar to what's available in the PYP forum.

Post Your Photos! Grid View - PentaxForums.com

Which sections do you think would benefit from it? All the clubs?

Adam, that grid view is fantastic I think the default setting of displaying unseen images from the last 21 days is a sensible default, but for the club threads maybe it would be a nice feature (as an option) to sort by date and to remove the 21 day limit. I don't know, just kicking out ideas. But, yes, that view is perfect, IMO!

I'm not sure how to answer your question in a reasonable way, because honestly there are quite a lot of threads buried in all the camera and lens subforums which serve as photo threads. Maybe there could be an option when creating a thread to mark it as a "photo thread" or "gallery thread" or something along those lines... just a flag to let the forum software know that there should be a Grid View enabled on the thread.

I've put up a beta gallery give of the lens club forum:
Lens Clubs Grid View - PentaxForums.com

It looks like there are quite a few photos there, even with the 21-day window.

Looking good! I ran into cases where images don't exist anymore and just display a blank, but not often (see below).

Can you post a link to the post with the broken image? I thought I had a system that would detect these, but it's possible that flickr has changed the image.

I've put up a beta gallery give of the lens club forum:

How do you access that view from the Lens Clubs' index page?

[Adam]

I'll add a link just like we have in the PYP section once we're sure the gallery is working well.

I've improved the image linking and also ensured that those broken flickr images won't show up. Let me know if you guys run in to any other issues!

It was going good for the first few pages but I ran into some more broken images. These are just the first two that came up (part of the same multi-image post).

excellent idea, even though I am a regular on the forum I didn't realise how many images I was missing

You had my scratching my head for a while, then I realized this was a screenshot of the post your photos gallery (I had only deployed the dead flickr checker in the new club gallery). It should now be live on both pages
