Used to be that area photos were linked to areas in the route database...i could go to NC for example and look for newly added pics. I have no idea how to do that now....

Click Photos. Scroll down a short way, and see that "Recent Photo Tags"? Beside that is a "More photo tags." Click that, and you should get a huge list of tags. Find North Carolina (using your example) and you should get what you're looking for.

Tags are not the answer.
You're even a mod dude, at least give him a straight up response....
-----------------------------------
Back to the OP-
That feature, and most useful sorting tools for photos do not exist. I hope they add them back.
The photo gallery has been render useless, and great photos are not being seen.
Currently, I can't even list all photos added to an area, let alone a state. These features must be added.
also, getting the old sorting functions would be nice.
This would be a good start.
- Most recent
- Most recent comment
- highest rated
ON A SIDE NOTE:
I fear though, unless you get inflamitory, that these suggestions will not be heard.
So if this doesn't get many responses I might turn into assholeinbozeman.
Cheers,
Tom

Are you saying that I'm lying?
I did give him a straight answer. He asked how to do it, and I told him the method. Is it the perfect solution? Nope. But it's what we have at the moment. I suppose I could have ignored his question, but what good would that accomplish?
So get off my back, would ya?

wow dude. Take it easy.
I'm not trying to be 'on your back' or call you a lair, but he's talking about an old feature, not tags.

I also agree that the site is not perfect, hence this forum: Suggestions & Feedback
When you give a response like the original one you gave, it seems that the problem is missed or not important. Then nothing more is said.
Then you get pissed off when it's pointed out.
All that aside-
There are issues with the photo gallery that need to be addressed.
Thanks,
Tom

The OP did not ask why this feature is gone, and the OP did not ask that that feature be restored. He very simply asked how to accomplish a particular task now that the feature is gone. He was given the answer.
Coldclimb added a helpful note about when it will work that way, and when it will not. So (official suggestion here) maybe something needs to be added when people submit photos encouraging them to create tags so people can more easily search for them later.
Anyway, if you would formally like to request that the first feature be restored, then do so. The comments are being read and prioritized, as evidenced by the announcements listing the many changes that have been made to the site based on user feedback. The suggestions are not being ignored, and you do not have to be inflammatory to be heard. I think the mods and owners have made it clear that they prefer it when you're not.

The original post in this thread asked how to sort photos, including a given area (North Carolina) and asked how to accomplish that.
His statement suggested that the method used before was no longer available, and wanted to know how it was done.
I replied. You then said I didn't give him a straight answer, which implies I was misleading him.... lying.
The "old feature" is no longer available. Lamentable as that may be, there is a work-around for the moment, and that's using the tags... as I suggested.
In reply to: When you give a response like the original one you gave, it seems that the problem is missed or not important. Then nothing more is said.
I'm stymied... when I answer the question directly, I'm ignoring the problem? That's amazing.... what if I didn't reply at all? Would that be acknowledging the problem.
In reply to: Then you get pissed off when it's pointed out.
No, I get pissed when people call me a liar.
In reply to: All that aside- There are issues with the photo gallery that need to be addressed.
Indeed, and I have said as much. Nobody is ignoring your complaints or the problems you raise. Issues are prioritized, solutions are developed as fast as can be done, and implemented (inline photos, anyone?)

Right on Reno.
Thanks for keeping this on the radar.
I guess 'mislead' was too strong of a word, for that I'm sorry.

I guess that was what I was expecting to hear originally.
Right on, and I think that tags are a good added aspect.
Hopefully people will start tagging photos.
Cheers,
Tom

No worries, Bozeman. Honest, we're working on making the changes as fast as we can.
Also, I'm sorry if I came across harsh: Had a couple shitty days at work, and I took out the frustration here. That's no excuse, and I owe you an apology, so here it is:
Sorry, man. I know better, and I apologize.

If you browse the Route DB right down to the climbing area, you will see a link to photos linked to that area.
for example, go to http://www.rockclimbing.com/routes/North_America/Canada/Alberta/Banff-Lake_Louise/Lake_Louise/
and you can click on the link to see all 29 photos taken at Lake Louise in Banff, Alberta Canada. But I havnen't been able to figure out how to see photos from all of Alberta, like we used to be able to do.
I wrote most of the previous version of the photo section on this site and some of the routes DB, and I must say that this new system has huge potential, but right now lacks features that I used all the time before.
The biggest things that I miss are, like you said, being able to view photos linked to larger areas (for example all of alberta rather than just the area Lake Louise). I am planing a Trip to Thailand, and only have 3 or so days to climb. I would really like to be able to see photos of all of thialand so that I can select the routes I want to climb, and don't waste one of my days in some average climbing area.
I have noticed that the photo moderators are allowing climbing photos on the site without them being linked to a climbing area. This is probably because the routes db doesn't have nice prominent links anymore, so even if photos are linked, it is hard to find other linked to the same region.
The other big thing, and isn't related to photos is creating new areas, and managing the routes DB. It is very hard to use right now .. We actually have a HowTo document that I have to read everytime I want to add or accept an edit from a user. That is all I have to say about that.
