How can I change/delete a photo?
Select the My Photos from the Quick Nav (see figure below). That will give you a list of all your photos. To change the information about a picture a photo click on the Change (see figure below) link on the photo you want to change.
 
You can change the description, album, camera, category and process data about a photo, but you cannot upload another photo in its place.
To delete a photo once you have clicked the Change link, go to the bottom and press the Delete button.
My picture doesn't show...
It is possible that you submitted a picture and it doesn't show in the main page. The reason for this is that you selected to make the picture private. A private picture will not show up in the main page.
To view a private photo you can select the 'My Photos' from the Quick Nav. That will give you a list of all your photos. Click on the link labeled 'Change' next to the photo (see figures above). That will give you a page which will allow you to change information about your photo. If the photo is 'Private' there will be a check mark next to the word "Private?". To make the photo public, click on the check box to unselect (see figure below) it and save the photo by clicking on the Submit button at the bottom of the page.
Why is my name hidden?
PhotoPoints hides the name of the photographer for the first 24 hours after submission. We do this to emphasize the photo and not the photographer who submitted it. This is not a foolproof way to hide the name. Many people simply recognize the photos submitted by others because of the style, subject or many other factors. |
