http://muds.multiply.com/ Welcome to the MUDS, the official Multiply Users and Developers Group.<br><br>As the name suggests, the purpose of this group is to bring Multiply's user and developer communities closer together; it's a place for users to ask questions, discuss thoughts and to offer tips to one another... and for Multiply staff members to do the same!<br><br>This is an "official" group, so staff members will actively participate in group discussions. Sometimes they'll even provide sneak peeks at upcoming features you won't see anywhere else. This is your chance to voice your opinion about features before they're released. This group will also be used to gather feedback from our users, to help make Multiply even better.

I'd signed up to view someone's pictures, and when I recently updated my highschool and college info, I immediately heard from so many old friends who I'd lost touch with over the years. Very cool. That said, the site is a mess, it is so confusing, I have no sense where anything is, it's badly organized, most of the applications are inane. It totally made me appreciate Multiply that much more! So, I'm not impressed with most of Facebook (except for the fact that so many people are using it!!). One thing I do really like though is that I can take a picture from my iPhone and with one click, have it upload to Facebook. It got me thinking about what I'd like to see from Multiply. 1st - an iPhone app would be cool, to be able to do something similar - rather than taking the picture, and then going through 3-4 clicks to email it my Multiply site. But more importantly, 2nd - If I am taking a random shot with my cell phone and posting i... http://muds.multiply.com/notes/item/777 Fri, 25 Jul 2008 20:48:14 -0000 I have the impression that many users aren't using MediaLocker yet simply because there is only one link to it: in the rail on personal pages. How about a link in the Tools box (Inbox) and in the <a href="http://multiply.com/post">Post</a> http://muds.multiply.com/notes/item/776 Fri, 25 Jul 2008 05:00:54 -0000 I want to be a premium user of multiply. but wonder if I can use the space, free after ads removing, for adding any kind of information. http://muds.multiply.com/notes/item/775 Thu, 24 Jul 2008 18:42:04 -0000 This is a small thing but every now and again it really bugs me.<br><br>We lost the hover option and now have to click on someone's headshot to see their first name etc. Okay, I've got over that :-)<br><br>But this function doesn't work everywhere, which is a nuisance. For example, when I'm viewing my Inbox, if I click on someone's headshot I get taken straight to their site. The same happens if I view my Contacts or Network and click on someone's headshot there. This also happens if you click on the headshot in someone's post in a group - as opposed to clicking on the headshot of someone who has replied to the post, in which case you get to see their first name etc.<br><br>I would really love to see this working in the same way wherever we are. I keep forgetting where it works and where it doesn't, and I don't like being kidnapped and taken on journeys that I had no intention of making, visiting the sites of people I don't know and have no interest in visiting, with no warning, no chance to get my passport... http://muds.multiply.com/journal/item/720/Clicking_on_headshots_-_can_we_have_some_more_consistency_please Thu, 24 Jul 2008 17:56:00 -0000 Multiply is for friends and family... and apparently stores located in Southeast Asia.&nbsp; I brought up the topic of <a href="http://muds.multiply.com/journal/item/609/Stores_on_Multiply">Stores on Multiply</a> once before and was told that "Running a store on Multiply is generally fine with us (despite technically being against our TOS) so long as there's no spam (either messages or invites). That's a line that can't be crossed."<br><br>So the stores proliferate and the spam increases (leading to tirades such as <a href="http://usersupport.multiply.com/notes/item/4458">the Captain's latest</a>). And we even start getting questions in the help groups from people <a href="http://multiplynewbie.multiply.com/notes/item/688">who need help setting up their stores on Multiply</a>. (Oddly enough, I even had to delete a reverse spam post today in the newbie group -- someone was looking for a store online that has a nice backpack selection.&nbsp; *eyeroll*)<br><br>So, I think about the Captains round-a-bout suggestion that stores should have to buy into their own "Store Premium" package here on Multiply so that they're not just freeloading on the system.&nbsp; On the one hand, as someone pointed out in ... http://muds.multiply.com/journal/item/719/Stores_on_Multiply_-_Part_Dva Thu, 24 Jul 2008 15:24:00 -0000 I was just reading through Feld's latest post on <a href="http://www.feld.com/blog/archives/2008/07/glue_and_commen.html">Glue and Comments</a> and came across a reply where Facebook was described as a walled garden.&nbsp; On the few occasions where I've mentioned Multiply (either there or in some other discussions regarding comments/replies in other places) people have poo poo'd Multiply also for being a walled garden. <br><br>You may be wondering what the flippin' fetch a walled garden is.&nbsp; <a href="http://therealmccrea.com/2008/03/21/open-vs-walled-garden-a-topic-taken-up-by-the-economist/">The Real McCrea</a> has a post on it in which he describes the "'walled garden' social networking model [as] a single site that retains all your information and relationships and forces you to do most of your business inside it."&nbsp; He likens this to the old AOL model where users were kinda stuck within the AOL world rather than having free access to roam the width and breadth of the internet. <br><br>My initial response is that I like being in a walled garden.&nbsp; It's pretty. I know some raging bull isn't going to come busting through the walls and ruin all my beautiful rose b... http://muds.multiply.com/journal/item/718/Multiply_--_A_Walled_Garden Wed, 23 Jul 2008 15:57:00 -0000 If there is one thing that drives me a little insane, it is having to go to Custom each time to find my private messages. Would it be terribly hard to include one more category in that little list down the left side of the Media Locker - Private messages? I know many feel as I do that pm's are tricky to keep track of and hunt down. It would be brilliant if they were just one click away, either in the Media Locker or a tab at the top of the page... there are many possibilities.

So it will show up at the top and highlighted as bold whenever there are new pictures being added to the album? Right now it's hard to let people know I have added new pictures to an existing album.<br><br>2) Family and friends go out together and there are always more than one person with a camera. It's always a hassle to get all the pictures together and share them in ONE album. Currently I use Sharpcast to do that. But it will be so nice if I could do that directly on Multiply. Maybe as I am creating a new album, I can give permission to someone on my contact list to add photos to that same album? And that album will also show up on his/her photo page and indicated as a "shared album". Does anyone else find this useful?<br><br>3) Can cross-posting be enabled for photo albums like how it is for blog posts?

You can use the search feature, bottom of this link to see if it's been suggested before: ------------------------ Hello, When I add 5 or 10 pics to a flicker set and want to add those same pics to Multiply -- my only option is to import the entire Flickr "SET" again and then delete what may be hundreds of duplicates just to get the additional 5 or 10 uploaded. I found this out a while ago when I first joined Multiply. Is it possible that Multiply could please come up with a way to import individual pics only from Flickr and not just "SET(S)" ?

This is to ensure continuous service. You further authorize Multiply to charge the credit card on file for your account at the then-current subscription rate unless you provide Multiply with prior notice that you are canceling your subscription before the renewal date. Please note that even if you provide notice, charges applied before Multiply can reasonably act are non-refundable. My questions are: 1. Will this "auto-renewal" work if I pay via Paypal? 2. Can't we just have the "auto-renewal" be an option in our "account settings" to avoid the hassle of having to "communicate" with Multiply for a prior notice of cancellation, as stated in the last sentence of the paragraph above.
