One of my images was deleted by a person unknown. Others have reported the same, and we haven't heard from Zipper. Plus the comment deletions, plust the scrambled order.

So I've taken it on myself to change the gallery password. This isn't my job, but enough's enough. I'll gladly turn this over to Zipper ASAP. Meanwhile, if you want to post a picture, email it to me and I'll put it up this evening.

This is temporary until Zipper checks in.

If there's a roar of outrage, I'll put it back. Meantime, we all need to be protected from some person who is clearly not too well stabilized at present.

Tomorrow, another STF'er will follow your action, change the password at his will and a REAL anarchy will begin.

Please put back the original password.

Thanks, Yehuda
Eric,

Please return the original password.

Thank you, Yehuda
I have written to Slug at pbase asking him to test for technical
problems. Until that's done, I'd prefer to hand it to the current
Challenge administrator and let him take the ball from there.

I have to agree. Put back the password. I'm new to this group, but if I had set up an area, and given permission to post to it, I wouldn't want the password changed. Vandalism, mucking up the order... That's one thing, but being locked out and having to go through another person to post, that's altogether different.

Heheheheh...

You're going to face a few problems from other challenge participants on this one. :)

I'd put the password back as it was if I were you. Otherwise you risk being viewed as holding hostage the STF Challenge even though your intentions are good.

You did precisely this same thing when you were running a challenge. OK, So be it... but I'd wait a bit if i were you.

E,

I don't think it was inappropriate action at all. This didn't hold anything hostage. Big deal if someone couldn't post a photo for half a day or so. Comments can still be viewed and left.

I appreciate you taking some action instead of just complaining about it.

eric had every good intention. There were some who didn't appreciate it, though. Good to see you back, Zip.

Now, what can be DONE about it? This may be reason to take it up more seriously with Slug again.

I've written slug; this could have been malice or some weird goblin on the server end . I know Slug has a real desire to facilitate our Challenges technically, just hope he can get back to us quickly.

Hi Zip --

I got here a bit late to endorse Eric's action before reading your response. But you've shown your own intitiave often in pitching in with gallery organisational chores, without offending anyone. I think Eric read your mind pretty well on this one and showed the right initiative in picking up the deputy's badge, provocative though it might have first appeared to some. I reckon we're all mature enough to recognise when an "all hands to the pumps" approach is appropriate.

As I've heard said more than once, "When you're up to your a$$ in alligators, you still need to remember that your primary objective is to drain the swamp."

Welcome back, put your feet up and enjoy the jet lag :-)
