Introducing Image Galleries

Hey guys, we’re rolling out personal image galleries — a neat way to organize all those images sitting in your favorites and share your discoveries with people who have similar interests!
 
So, first things first: how do you create a gallery? You can click on the “Galleries” item in your user menu (accessed by placing the mouse cursor over your avatar in the top right corner) and choose “New Gallery” on a page that opens. Or you may go to any image, open the “Galleries” menu (located next to upvote, favorite and subscribe buttons) and click “Create new gallery” there.
 
Your recent galleries appear in your profile below the “Recent Favorites” section. In addition to that, you can browse galleries created by other users that feature a particular image by going to that image’s page and following the “Featured In” link found in the “Galleries” menu.
 
To personalize a gallery, you can set any existing image as its cover, write a text description, and come up with a custom order for its entries (look for the “Rearrange” button on a gallery page).
 
Please do note the feature is still in development and may not be fully polished. If you have any suggestions, leave your feedback in this thread — it is most welcome!  
When reporting bugs, please specify the browser you are using (preferably including its version; I encourage you to Google how to find this information if you are unsure) and attach a screenshot. This would help us to resolve the issue as fast as possible.

Seems to work fine. Is it possible to get a list of all existing galleries?
 
Another feature that might be useful would be gallery comments.

Found a bug, not sure if it’s related to galleries: if you open an image through a gallery, then click the next/prev image button, you’ll get an empty white page.

It’s indeed a bug. Thanks for reporting it!

Another bug: The “Random image” button really gives you a random image, it does not seem to pick a random image from the gallery.
 
EDIT: It works if you open an image, then click the random image button. But the random image button in the gallery page does not work.

What happens when an image gets added to 100 different galleries and the list gets so long it won’t fit on the screen anymore? Is there going to be a scrollbar?
 
The gallery search seems to be case-sensitive. It probably should be case insensitive.

So is it just for favorited images?
 
No, you don’t have to favorite an image to add it to a gallery. You can put a single image in multiple galleries and not have it upvoted or added to your favorites.

Hi. Can you add option for private galleries?
 
It’s something that is being worked on, but I can’t name the exact time it becomes available.
 
@Hguheyaughtnger  
And it possible rearrange images between pages?
 
At the moment, no.

  1. I assume you’re referring to gallery listings — well, they’re paginated just like image lists and forum topics.  
  2. Yes, it should be. Thanks for the suggestion!

Ah, so image pools are finally here.
 
I made a gallery fairly easily though I had to rearrange the whole thing because the site is in reverse chronological order by default.
 
Can there be a gallery page to browse all the galleries? A gallery of galleries, if you will.

I created a gallery, but it seems that it doesn’t fit so well the size of the bar in the mobile version. I am using Yandex on —obviously— Android.

Not sure if I would find use for the feature, but maybe you should add a little warning somewhere about avoiding the creation of galleries of images that you could get with a simple one- or two-tag search query? To lessen the cluttering, that is, I think.

Two specific suggestions and a thought:
 
-When you add an image to a gallery there isn’t any feedback. Yes the gallery name turns green, but the hover color is green as well, so when you click it looks like it didn’t do anything. Either add some text that says “Added!” or something or just make the hover color different.
 
-A cover image shouldn’t be required when you’re setting it up, and there should be a way of selecting the cover image from the uploaded images. Manually finding the ID you want is a little clunky, especially when you still have to add the image to the gallery afterwards.
 
Lastly, while I do like the idea of galleries they’re probably a little too labor-intensive for me to use at this point. I would love to put all of my Rainbow Dash pictures into one, but that’s a couple hundred images, and the current process that requires loading the image page for each one would take too long. I would be much more inclined to use it if I could import all images tagged Rainbow Dash in my favorites, or even if there was just a button on the thumbnails in search results next to the upvote and favorite buttons. I understand that either of those suggestions are probably a lot of work though, and may not be worth it.
