It says you just RECENTLY WENT PUBLIC lol Antonio! There's no search bar still!!!, noone outside U.S. can 'seamlessly' use tabblo online/offline tomake then order products available softbook, poster etc. and NOW YOU'RE trying to make it so we can sell 'stock photos' if desired.....why was this not announced to us in Tabblo publicly? IS that why i'm seeing MORE ANE MORE of the watermarks, copyright etc. on the 'pro profile tabs' so to speak lol ...

There seems to be little or no action on some 'bug fixing' and loss of search bar ...is HP not allotting the proper funding for rudimentary programming fixes?

Really, I thought you'd been public since June 2006? according to stacy's mashup archive site. ;-)

Now that the policy has changed and one can send tabblo notifications only yo people he is added to their circle, why not add a feature something like facebook is using.
When one would want to add someone else to his circle the site will send a question to the user and ask him if he approves the request. if he approves both users will be added to each others circle.

How cool would it be to have a little "REPLY" link so we could not only comment on what someone has said about our Tabblo's, but also notify them of what we said with the same step?

Any possibility of this??

Having not enough time to go through all these features, I am wondering if anyone has suggested a widget for Macs. I for one have just begun to use a Mac and find it hard getting around at the moment, a widget or a logo for tabblo that I could click on and go directly to Tabblo would be a great asset to me. Please let me know user-to-user if there is one or going to be one. User-to-user is the only mail I have at the moment.

L810th said at 5:45 p.m. on Jan 28, 2009:
I am just adding this as an idea, as I know there are more pressing issues. On several occasions I have found one or more exquisite photos in amongst many photos of a single Tabblo. At times I am struggling to make the whole Tabblo a Favourite or not, as it may not merit that title.
Could there be a single photo Favourites, and if so could there be an option of collating these single favourites into a Gallery/Tabblo where they can be viewed along side other members work that was also chosen by one the one member. That Tabblo could be a forum for discussion with/without textual reasons for choosing them as a favourite.
I know this sounds long winded and involves ownership rights ect. but I think that some images go un-noticed lost within the lesser viewed Tabblos.

CECT said at 8:40 a.m. on Jan 26, 2009:
Back to the Tabblos of vacations subject, how about the ability to group them in folders? I make a series of tabblos and link them one after the other but when I go to the View My Tabblos I have to scroll through all those "pages" if I want to get to something else. If they could be grouped in folders ("France Vacation" "Party Tabblos", etc.) getting to old tabblos would be more efficient.

Also, in my previous suggestion about rulers I should have said that I'd like to be able to see where 11 inches falls, not 8.5.

Kevinb5 said at 1:05 a.m. on Dec 22, 2008:
Is this feature already available?? I'd like to create captions automatically with the filenames of each photo.

CECT said at 6:47 p.m. on Dec 21, 2008:
I like to print out the Tabblos I make of our vacations. If I had a ruler alongside the Tabblos I could design them so there was a break at 8.5 inches. Now when I print there are often large empty spaces at the bottoms of pages because, rather than cutting photos in half, they are moved down to the next page.

Hi, everyone!
I have a problem, I can`t manage Tabblo on my groups. The order Yabblo turned itself off, and now the new Tabblo caught in the end, and old at the beginning. If I click the asterisk to change tabblo on top of the page, the movement does not occur.
Help me, please!

Lifequest22 said at 12:55 p.m. on Sep 25, 2008:
It would be nice if Tabblo had a welcome blurb which explains what Tabblo is and "What's New/Updates" on the Home page. It would make it more friendly and inviting. and a link to about Tabblo which is currently located on the botton and seems obscure. I noticed a little header: "News." But it's barely noticeable.

Well, just a suggestion.

HebronMommy said at 10:34 p.m. on Jul 25, 2008:
I know I requested this before, but there was no response. I LOVE the photo size options on the Interlocking Photos layout where the photos can be anything from little squares to all the way across the page, but please create this layout with a text added option. It is so time consuming to go back and add text later. And, trying to build the tabblo from the lightbox is almost impossible with so many teeny, tiny pictures! Please! Thank you!

HebronMommy said at 3:56 a.m. on Jul 1, 2008:
Will there be a way to change text style or at least color again. I miss being able to customize the color of my title and of the text boxes without having to change each box individually.

HebronMommy said at 5:00 p.m. on Jun 24, 2008:
I would love it if you would add a feature that would shift down or un-overlap the pictures by moving things down. Or, if you would add a layout that is the interlocking mix of photos that includes the small sizes (where pictures can be a small square or a long stretch across the page) that also includes text. My problem is that I add text into my Tabblo, but my favorite layout is the interlocking mix of photos where I have the most control over their sizes. However, when I change the sizes around manually and make some larger and add text, it requires me to constantly drag all the photos down to add space. I used to be able to switch between manual and automatic mode and it would flow the photos down and adjust the text boxes I added or the resizing I'd done. Thank you for any help!
I know that one work around is to add photos as I go, but I usually work with a 100 photos or more and it's so hard to see them in the little light box. It's much easier to move them around within the Tabblo.

AliDar said at 6:19 p.m. on Jun 18, 2008:
I'm starting to get worried about the amount of messages in my Tabblo inbox. I would like to clear out a lot of the past messages I've received but doing so one at a time is a major pain. Is there anyway that could be implemented that would make it so that we could select more than one message at a time, so we can delete a large grouping of them at once?

THANK YOU GUYS!

MichelleMc said at 7:27 p.m. on May 30, 2008:
Hi, is it possible to add different styles of photo layouts, for example: three or four or more pictures all overlapping and slanted on one page? Or maybe being able to add five or more pictures to a tabblo? Just curious? Thanks!

MrsPinz said at 10:18 a.m. on May 28, 2008:
Why can't we choose our profile photos from our own photos in Tabblo?

MrsPinz said at 10:00 a.m. on May 28, 2008:
I've been begging for a way to organize my contacts from practically the beginning of Tabblo. It would be really great to be able to have different contact lists, like friends, family, business, etc, with different privacy settings for each group (i.e. only people from my "friends" list can see certain tabblos, "family" can't view my "friends" tabblos, etc).

In that vein, I really need to be able to identify my invitees! Once they register with Tabblo and have a screen name, the email address is hidden. And often the screen names bear no resemblance to the email addresses. If nothing else, please continue to map the email->screen name in the list of invitees.

YorkJodi said at 4:08 p.m. on May 25, 2008:
This is actually a Tabblo Feature Request... rather than a gripe about issues...

See my tabblo above... Is it possible to have some sort of a map that would show where the people in your circle live... Similar to what ClustrMaps does for blogs...
OR will ClustrMaps work, to join it, add it to your tabblo home page??

Is anyone else interested in this?? You could "collect" people from all over the world, see how many countries are represented. I think that would be fun!!

Thanks for "thinking about this"... Jodi

HebronMommy said at 8:48 a.m. on May 23, 2008:
Until I sent an e-mail to "contact us" and was told about the Tabblo Feature Requests, I had not even known it was here. I was encouraged to share my frustrations this way so that others could comment, too. Until then, every comment I had to make went directly through the contact us e-mail. I would bet that there are lots of others, like me, who are very frustrated with the new controls or the lack of the controls, but don't know how to let you know. So, when only a few people say they want a certain control back, I'd multiply that number by 5 or 10 or more to get a more accurate number of who feels that way.

HebronMommy said at 8:44 a.m. on May 23, 2008:
I still can't get a Tabblo to layout correctly since you removed so many tools. I almost always use the interlocking photos layout, but I add text (since there's no layout option that has both) and I also adjust the sizes of the photos. When the Tabblo is created, most of the photos are very small, so I always used the automatic mode to shift the photos down when I make enlargements or add text boxes. It takes so much extra work and time to move 50+ photos in and out of the lightbox (where it's hard to see which ones you're working with) or to manually move everything down and down and down to create the necessary space. Please bring back the automatic or create a control that will shift down any overlapped photos/textboxes to create space.
Or, like I suggested before, could you have 2 sets of tools - an advanced and a basic. Those of us who are used to and want and need the old tools could use the advanced tab and everyone else could use the basic.

Moabjeeper said at 12:18 p.m. on May 19, 2008:

The editing controls issue is a big one, the grid size frustrating... BUT...

I'm still having notification problems...
I have not been getting notifications when new tabblos are made by anyone, when you all comment on my tabblos or send me a message in the inbox... I have to search for these tabblos & comments myself. They say they care... but that it only affects a few people... and now they have this other issue... so when will they ever fix that.

Is anyone else having this problem... it's surely not JUST ME...
Please if you are having notification problems... tell them. Thanks!!

AliDar said at 2:05 p.m. on May 15, 2008:
Okay, so I've tried to make a new tabblo with the new editing controls, and I'm just about in tears with frustrations. ... first of I use an iMac and iPhoto, so I have to export the photos to a folder somewhere so I can find them with the available uploads provided. I can deal with that, and I guess the iPhoto plugin disappeared awhile ago... but then I tried to use my handy little Firefox plugin Fotofox to upload, and the photos uploaded fine, but there are options with the plugin that allow you to make a tabblo straight from there. You can name the tabblo and set the privacy, all before you even begin. That no longer works. When you click on it's 'View Photos' after the upload, you are sent directly to your all My Photos because a tabblo wasn't created.

Next, I tried to find a layout that fit the size of the photo and cropping I wanted. and there wasn't any. Without the grid choices that we use to have you have to make your image fit in the confines of what is provided by the layout. I couldn't even find a layout , and or style combination, that provided a slot that suited the dimensions of the photos my camera shoots, let alone one that I could use creatively. With the grid choices I was able to either tweak the dimensions to show all of the shot, or resize and crop just the way I wanted it. That can't be done anymore ... so I tried Freeform. Freeform is a joke. There's nothing freeform about it. You still are limited to using a large grid, with the dimensions and spacing decided for you.

Clicking on Manual now only means that you can lay another photo on top of another without them bouncing back into a pre defined position, and even then you have to work at it because if your not careful in your exact placement they will. I haven't tried this yet, but I don't believe overlapping will work any longer, since the photos now always seem bounce into the provided grid, even when you are in Manual mode they still move into position dictated by the large grid underneath.

I have a large screen, as I think many people do, and for those in the know, you use to be able to use the 6 col, no border layout, in manual and with your choice of grid to create a tabblo that had some individuality. By choosing a different grid you were able to get around the no border aspect, you could position your photos where you wanted within the tabblo to create a border with the foreground colour, and there was this little trick I used to extend the border around the bottom by adding a text block beneath my photos but not typing anything, so the foreground border extended around the bottom as well and wasn't cut off anymore. That can no longer be done.

I do however, like the editing tabs; I can get use to the tiny little layout and style icons, with it's descriptive title way off to the left... , and you no longer have to chase the controls all over the page, or click on the button to keep the editing tools in place so that you can access the colour choices on the right, or worry about the fact that if you have too many drop down windows open, you won't be able to see the ok button because it's off of the page. ... And the new graduated colour choice method is wonderful. ... And so is the added ability to change the font, and size of the title. But without grid choices, and the other fine tweaking controls that were included in Manual mode, everything we make from now on has to fit into the layout and style choices provided, and there's no way to be individually creative with your tabblo's design.

I've been at tabblo for well over a year now, and except for my first few tabblos, I haven't created a tabblo without pushing the limits of the provided layouts and styles; what I wanted to do just didn't fit within those confines, and now there isn't any way to do that. The templates might make it easy for those who haven't the time or inclination to be creative with what they make, and that's great; everyone can make a half decent looking tabblo, but for those of us who want more control over what we make, you've taken away our tools. Please bring them back.

AliDar said at 12:36 a.m. on May 15, 2008:
I haven't made a tabblo yet since these changes have occurred, but believe me I am not looking forward to it, not if what I've been reading here is any indication, not if you've taken away the grid choices and manual controls. With those options you got to actually have some individual control on how your tabblo looked. ... for the artist in you, it use to say, (that seems to be missing too) but how can you be create something individual if you're using the same paint by number outline as everyone else? ... PLEASE BRING THEM BACK!!!

Debdog said at 12:06 a.m. on May 15, 2008:
PLEASE>>>bring back the fine grid! my first tabblo turned out OK...NOW I HAVE BEEN AT THIS @ HOURS>>>supposed to be in manual, but my pics are all over,and how the heck can you put your text where you want....then it all re-arranged by itself...i give up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HebronMommy said at 11:08 p.m. on May 14, 2008:
I use Tabblo to prepare pages for a month's worth of photos to share with family across the country. This tool was invaluable to me and I miss it terribly! Please bring it back.

HebronMommy said at 11:03 p.m. on May 14, 2008:
I used these options all the time to add space to my Tabblo by making photos larger and then using the automatic layout to shift the photos down or use the compact to fill in space that was created by adjusting photo sizes. I loved going back and forth between those options and manual where I had the control. Please bring these options back. It is almost impossible to use the layout I prefer and not be able to shift the photo sizes and have the Tabblo adjusted. If it was too complicated for some users, you could maybe set up an advanced toolbar and a basic one so that those of us who are used to and love and NEED some of the editing tools that have been deleted can access them again. Oh, and ditto on the grid size control, too.

Saulblum said at 10:06 a.m. on May 14, 2008:
In the old right-side floating tool palette, under "Layout", there were three options for the grid size: very large, medium, and a very fine grid. These options are gone in the new bottom toolbar, and you can only use the grid from the style you have chosen. It was very useful to have the fine grid to precisely place pictures and text on the layout. Will these options be coming back? Thanks!

Also, is there a way I can take multiple tabblos and make one book out of it?

Lerone said at 10:25 a.m. on Dec 3, 2007:
hey,

tabblo seems just right for collaborative story-making beyond the appreciated "group"-feature.
so I would love to be able to allow other invted people to work on (i.e. change) one and the same tabblo. this could at least be an additional option. and without knowing the (code-)details it seems easy to implement...

thanks already for conideration!

Okay, this might be nitpicking, but I have a lot of user to user messages in my inbox and whenever I think of tidying it up it is so frustrating because I can only select and delete one message at a time. I start doing just that, but find the process so tedious that I give up. I would think that things would work much more smoothly if I hadn't had such a full inbox, and I can only see it as benificial for the server not to be cluttered up with peoples past messages. If everyone has the same problem and reaction, that's alot of space that could probably be put to better use.

Wouldn't it be cool if we could print out a Tabblo onto a pillow or bedspread...they have such beautiful layouts, you really could make something special for that someone special...cool gift...here is a sample of a company that does:

Hello Tabbloites!

I'd like to make a family tabblo. I'd like to share the photos with my family so they can download them. I would NOT like to make my family photos public.

Even if I were to ask my family members to join Tabblo, I have a pile of people in my circle and don't want to share my private photos with them. I'm stuck. Either I get my family to join and clean out my circle so only my family can download the photos, or I have to start a second account. Either way I have to 'FORCE' my family to join if they want to download my pics or I'm forced to make the private pics PUBLIC.

A little help Tabblo! I want to share private photos with people INVITED to a Tabblo only. A kind of My Invited Downloaders on a tabblo by tabblo basis. Any chance?

One thing that I've noticed since I've been on Tabblo for a few months now, and have commented on a lot of tabblos, is that the length of that list on my notifications page is getting longer and longer, and it's starting to become quite a job to scroll through it to pick and chose those tabblos that I still would like to receive comments about. I think it would be a great help if there were some way you could organize the list into categories for us. For example: My tabblos, My circle, My groups, and Others. ... Or perhaps some way to delete items from the notifications list, but maybe with the option to archive them as a separate list so that you still have a link to all the tabblos you felt inspired to comment about.

Thebeautifullife said at 12:05 a.m. on Jul 1, 2007:

Wouldn't that be great? I've seen some really great stuff on here and I know everyone likes to be acknowledged in one way or the other. There could be different categories, i.e., funniest, best use of color, best black and white, most moving, best family tabblos, etc. We could nominate ourselves as well as others and then narrow it down from there. Once we have the categories with the finalists, we could vote on them. It would simply be for the recognition, but of course the folks at Tabblo could offer a gift certificate or two as a prize. Just a thought. Think about it!

I'm not certain there are many if any Tabblo's that are never seen, but if there are I would be interested in seeing a page that shows a list of Tabblo's that are older than one week and have never been viewed, in the order of oldest first. Kind of the opposite of the 'Popular' page, but it could give exposure to some of the cool things we may miss. Eh, just a passing idea.

I love the confetti background & how you can change the back color & keep the confetti. How about more backgrounds like that -- perhaps like "starry night", "snowflakes", "seashells", "baby", etc. Or perhaps patterns or even textures. I experiment extensively with different color combos, but the basic tabblo styles are just feeling a bit stale...

One more observation -- on many styles the captions are so small that my older viewers are complaining that they can't read them. I've tried all different styles & colors to make them stand out more, but they're still fairly limited. Maybe something to look into?

Thanks!

Just discovered balloons and they're pretty cool. Just noticed that they fail to resize in the slideshow view and so can obliterate photos. I'm surprised you include them in the slideshow view at all. I would rather be able to see the photos without the balloons there.

Hi guys!

Just want to say I LOVE the word balloons! Way cool! Any way you could make an even smaller size? Even the smallest size is kind of big on smaller photos.

Regarding the slideshow: The photos are too big for my screen. Is there any way to make them smaller to fit the screen? Or is this something you could work on?

Hi,
I am from israel and I often tag my pictures/tabblos with Hebrew tags as well as English tags. When I view the taggs of a tabblo I can not see the Hebrew tags But when I search for my tags in Google, for example, I can see the Hebrew tags in the result's test.
For example: http://www.google.com/search?q=%D7%A1%D7%99%D7%99%D7%A8%D7%94+%D7%98%D7%99%D7%99%D7%A8%D7%94

I was wondering if on our inner Tabblo e-mailing system, if we could add one more "bar"....and that being: Share a Tabblo? If we click that, we can choose which one(s) and that person would get the email along with the HTTP:// location link to the Tabblo they are invited to see.

I just mentioned to someone I posted a picture of my skies during the Tornado Warning...and I wanted to enclose the link but offhand didn't know it...so I just told them: "look for it"....

What do you think???

Thumbs up or Thumbs down?? Or, thumbs-sideways...(meaning: *shrug* we'll see).

Thanks!

(sorry if this exists and I'm unaware of it)

I was wondering if after you made a Tabblo, and that "share" page pops up, you can check off a box that says do NOT email to everyone I have Tabblo set up to be mailed out to...in accounts, we can set it to "just send my tabblo's to these folks" type of thing. Then, we can just type in whatever addresses or use our address book to specifically hit our targeted audience? I'd like "an exception to the rule."

Make sense?

Pasting the HTML Tabblo gives me into my blog entries is fine. But I need a way to programmatically determine which Tabblos I have, so I can programmatically these "teaser" pages.

I know there were rumblings about a Tabblo API...any news? I really need just the one call that returns me some XML or JSON so I can know which tabblos I've made public. (My blog is my own Django creation, so Tabblo and I ought to play nice together, right?)

is there a way to make the window larger so typing out messages is easier? the window for this post is twice as big as a regular message window and is so much easier to type in (and read what I'm writing so I can stay coherent)

Hello again my favorite tabbloaroos,

My 'Groups' list is getting pretty lengthy. Is there any way that this can be organized, or condensed to sit a little better on the page? Every time you add a group, everything else moves. It can be somewhat challenging scrolling through the list to find a specific group.

It would be 'super neato' to have a feature to show new tabblos in my groups. (Just like I can see new tabblos in my circle.)

Just add it to my 'everything and a toaster (exif) too' list. :)

Cheers!

DVP said at 1:49 p.m. on Mar 26, 2007:
Hey folks at Tabblo,

Can we please have the option to select multiple messages in our inbox? That way we can move them or delete them all at once.

For some reason I got 12-15 invites to the same group and it's a bit tedious to have to read each one in order to delete it.

Thanks!

Thebeautifullife said at 4:18 p.m. on Mar 22, 2007:
HI Tabblo!!


Just a suggestion to work on:
try to get the deleted pictures (from MY PICTURES)to delete from the "most recently uploaded" ones.

Right now, an X rated one of a huge penis and a girl looking wild-eyed at it is on my family-site! Not good. LOL.

Just a suggestion. :) Kelly

I checked off for Allow people to purchase posters or prints of my stuff. But I'm not sure if this is working right for other to purchase my pictures, did I miss something?

Also, is there a log for people that downloaded and purchase my pictures?

I would be great if we could also see all the photos that are NOT in any of our tabblos, grouped together.

I think "drop shadows" enhances the pictorial experience here on tabblo. Unfortunately not all layouts have this feature. I would love to see more layouts featuring a variety of drop shadows. Thank you.

Cruising said at 9:54 p.m. on Mar 3, 2007:
I would be willing to pay for the following service/product.

The ability to order a DVD or CD with my Tabblo(s) and their original uploaded images. So for example, after Basketball season, I would like to be able to

a) choose all the Tabblos, including posters, books or online Tabblos - via checklist

b) Request a DVD which contains the PNG or JPG file of the Tabblo, or a PDF of the book etc...

c) Request copies of all original images that went into the above Tabblos

be burned to CD/DVD and sent to me.

This would be an awesome digital media backup, with the added value of Tabblo being created and archived. I think it supports the space you are in (bridging online and print).

Cruising said at 9:42 a.m. on Mar 2, 2007:
When viewing a group of Tabblos, I didn't realize there were pages and pages...

I finally clicked the "View Other Group Tabblos" link.

But I thought that was all there was, until I went to a group that I "know" had many more. I finally found the more link.

I guess it was intuitive.

Suggestions:

Add a Total Tabblos in this group count to home page.

Change "View Other Group Tabblos" to "View All xxx Tabblos in this group" where xxx is a number

On the page viewing all Tabblos, possibly use a page 1 of 5 or something similar.

I'd take any of these :)

Thanks for a GREAT site.

Cruising said at 10:58 p.m. on Feb 28, 2007:
Kudos for the new styles you added. I also noticed that you now have "Hi username" as a link to our home page. THANK YOU!

But as a request, it would be great if you could put up a page that showed a sample of each style and listed style details, including each color code for each color element (background, field, text), default fonts, title font and alignment.

It is very difficult to go through the different styles and know what they are - and we don't have access to the style sheet to decipher this.

It would make the selection of various styles much more user friendly. Right now, we select a style or two we are used to, and reuse it.

Thanks for considering documenting the styles :)

Hollyridger said at 12:24 a.m. on Feb 27, 2007:
Is there any way you could number the images in a tabblo? When reading people's comments about a particular image in one of the larger tabblos it is so annoying to have to try to find the image. I often see comments on, say, "the tenth image from the top". It is not always certain that you are in fact looking at the correct image, depending on the layout chosen. Thanks...

AnotherSteve said at 3:59 p.m. on Feb 26, 2007:
If you make a comment on an individual Tabblo, you have the checkbox that allows you to have other comments on that Tabblo mailed to you. This is a pretty cool feature.

That checkbox defaults to "checked" however, and once you have sent that comment, there is no way to go back and uncheck it. So if you later change your mind, you have no way to turn off that stream of emails. Could you make it so you can go back and change that setting?

AnotherSteve said at 9:15 p.m. on Feb 24, 2007:
Please see the above Tabblo for my request to have some really wide layout options, or at least make the text rotate the same way the pictures do.

Thanks for a great site!

I'm using Phanfare as my photo album site. Any chance you could work with them in the same way you're cooperating with Flickr?

BlueCockatoo said at 4:08 p.m. on Feb 21, 2007:
Hi all,

I just took my second look at Tabblo. I had played with it a long time ago when it was still in beta. It has come a long way since then!

I thought it would make the perfect way for a friend of mine with a small business to share some photos with some of his customers, but he's got pretty high standards for "professionalism" and as cute as the Tabblo logo is, I know that the gigantic conspicuous bar at the top of the tabblo pages will be an issue with him.

I think it would be nice if you could have the bar at the top not be there all the time, just show up when you need it, and in the mean time, just a small (like 50px tall maybe) bar to click on to unhide the menu.

As it stands, it is pretty distracting from the "serious" layouts", especially those that are dark, and since you guys are promoting being able to style things, it would be nice if you could let the WHOLE PAGE reflect your personality and style.

I know you can't get rid of the bar because of branding and such, but it would be nice if it could be minimized and color coordinated with the theme. http://www.yuku.com does a really good job of the kind of menu that I'm describing (you'll have to create an account to see it, unfortunately).

Just something to think about!
Thanks!

Cruising said at 3:43 p.m. on Feb 18, 2007:
When viewing a Tabblo, it would be great if, maybe at the bottom - even below the comments, it would say something like:

Groups: xxx, yyy, zzz

to show what groups it is part of. That way - if I like the Tabblo, I know where i can find others.

Purpletiger said at 7:03 p.m. on Feb 17, 2007:
There use to be a feature on Tabblo where I could view my photos in the lightbox. They were much easier to browse through, and find specific images if I wanted to do other things with them. Now when I load images, they go directly into a Tabblo page, and I can't find any options other than viewing all of the photos in "my Photos". It's very difficult to navigate and find what I need considering I have a very large amount of images loaded. Is there any way to add back features that allow for better navigations and searching of one's own images?

Mdark said at 2:36 p.m. on Feb 17, 2007:
It's useful to upload zipped photos.

Burekas said at 5:47 a.m. on Feb 17, 2007:
Hi All,
When I just started my first tabblo, I often used the "scale&pan;" feature on my album thumbnails.
I did not realized that actions done with the "scale&pan;" will actually change my original images, I thought it will only create a more "interesting" thumbnails.
For example, if I have several portraits of the same guy includded in my tabblo, All of the thumbnails will look alike because they are small images of the same face. BUT if on one thumbnail I will zoom to his eye, on the other zoom to his lips and so on..., I will get a more diverse look on similaar pictures.

I think that the option of "scale&pan;" on the thumbnail only will be a grate feature that will place tabblo one (another) level about any service we know today.
Thanks.

UrbanParadoxes said at 5:15 p.m. on Feb 16, 2007:
How about Tabblo buttons for our blogs that do not have "hi," as in "Hi, Urban Paradoxes"? I would love to add a Tabblo button to my blogs, but the "Hi" just doesn't fit. "Urban Paradoxes," for example would work, though.

DVP said at 1:20 p.m. on Feb 11, 2007:
Hello hello fabulous Tabblo folk.

Variation request: Can we please make books out of regular tabblos as a variation? Right now you're limited to making another on-line tabblo as a variation. It'd be fun to be able to make an on-line book from a tabblo.

Recently I started a tabblo and then realized it'd be more dynamic in a book format so I had to start all over. It would have been so much easier to make a book variation rather than starting from scratch.

Antonio said at 11:14 a.m. on Feb 4, 2007:
Hi everyone,

I've been doing some thinking lately about what we could do with the tabblo format for the display of individual images by which I mean having a tabblo that is meant to showcase just one image.

Have a look at this for an example of what I mean and leave your thoughts either here or in the comments on the tabblo.

Thanks and I hope everyone is having a good weekend!

JeroldsSis said at 3:43 a.m. on Feb 3, 2007:
I love my posters I've ordered and I would really like to have the same thing but printed as a photo, (4x6, 5x7, et.). Last year I made something like that of my own (but in no way do they look as great as a Tabblo!) and then used them for photo inserts for my holiday cards. They would also be great for birth announcements as I had a request for one of my baby tabblos to be done that way. Any thoughts on that?

DVP said at 9:25 p.m. on Jan 28, 2007:
Would still love to be able to view the metadata on some of the photos I'm seeing on Tabblo. Any chance?

Apungsimang said at 7:39 a.m. on Jan 24, 2007:
Can we have a background music playing while viewing slideshows? Maybe tabblo users can have the ability to upload 2 or 3 mp3's that will play while viewing a slideshow or maybe just select from some categorized music.

Nick said at 10:17 a.m. on Jan 23, 2007:
I'd like to have an option for an automatic notification every time someone from my circle (or a designated list of people) publishes a new Tabblo.

I find that not everyone in my circle uses invitations, so this way I don't have to actively check my circle.

Maybe I'm imagining it, but before when there was an email message from someone, wasn't their name was linked back to their homepage?

Siagian said at 10:26 a.m. on Jan 22, 2007:
Are there any plans to increase the number of "professional-like" styles for tabblo? My current favorites are "moody" and "homestead"...more styles along these themes would make me very happy! Thanks.

DVP said at 8:17 p.m. on Jan 19, 2007:
Any chance of getting a 4x4 layout with the CAPTION option like the larger book? One that automatically sizes photos to a rectangular ratio would be a neat option and provide space for the caption too.

Cunningham said at 7:11 p.m. on Jan 19, 2007:
I screwed up and made a small book when I wanted a big book, so I think it would be nice to be able to interchange tehm. Plus what if you wanted a big bok for yourself and a small book for grandparents, it would not be fun to have to make them another one just like yours. It would make more sense to be able to keep what you created and get either size book. MAybe you can do this and I dont know about it, if so please tell me!
Thanks, Bree

MrsPinz said at 9:39 a.m. on Jan 18, 2007:
Could you give us the option to be notified in our Tabblo notifications, rather than just by email? I'd rather see messages on my home page, rather than get multiple emails.

Cruising said at 10:04 a.m. on Jan 11, 2007:
My best of 2006 book shows up as Cruising's Tabblo - but really this isn't mine at all :) it's everyones.

Is there any way to change the "name" or title of a book tabblo? If not - I'd like to suggest this as a future feature. Thanks.

(by the way - I like the changes to the book editor - definitely helpful).

Cruising said at 2:11 p.m. on Jan 10, 2007:
There are times you see a great Tabblo and are interested in what "template" they used, and what "settings" that are global (such as color) might have been changed. Would be neat if you could pull up this info from "any" Tabblo you can view (not just your own), so you can capture a look for another Tabblo.

Stephenmed said at 12:41 p.m. on Jan 10, 2007:
Ok before you start raggin on me, think about it. Myspace is tha perfect place to "advertise" this site. If ya dont think so, go google -myspace customizations-. If you added myspace to blog list, put a HTML genarator on here, or at least some code to get to tha main user page, you might have more traffic on here than you can handle. (but TRAFFIC=$) Just kidding. Seriously, if you do this, and someone buys this site for 17 kadrillion dollards, I want some posters or somethin.

MrsPinz said at 11:18 a.m. on Jan 10, 2007:
It would really be helpful if we had a way to group or organize our contacts and/or circle, as well as tag email addresses or tabblo member names with our own identifiers.

For example, I have tabblos that I only want to share with family & some with just friends. I photograph sporting events, and only want to share those photos with the teams. I was using the privacy setting of "view by invitation only", but as my contact list grows longer, it gets harder & harder to remember who is who by just their email address or tabblo member name. So I switched the privacy settings to "my circle only", and everyone I've already invited can see all of my tabblos. But it's a little weird when our teammates & their families view my family Christmas pictures, and my family doesn't really need or want to see all of our sports pictures. If we could organize our contacts into groups, then we could set the privacy of tabblos and photos by group designation

The other thing is that email addresses & tabblo member names often don't give you a clue as to who the person really is. So when I'm looking at my list of 100+ contacts, I have to remember that "mmmm5" is on our football team, "mmmv5" is my cousin, and "mvf558" is from our lacrosse team. Being able to give each contact our own identifier would be really helpful.

Well, right now that is the one thing that would really make things easier for me to manage my tabblos. Someone recently suggested that I have multiple tabblo accounts for the different groups, but that seems kind cumbersome too, since I'd have to replicate my tabblos for each of the new accounts. I hope you'll consider working on such a feature.

I love this site & everyone here is great. Keep up the good work!

Cruising said at 9:55 a.m. on Dec 31, 2006:
Would be nice if in the upper right hand corner - where it shows Hi (for me Hi Cruising), it was a "link" to My Page. I find the "view" drop down works great but takes a click drag click. Would be nice to do a quick-click on the Hi Cruising etc...

Cruising said at 11:13 a.m. on Dec 30, 2006:
Would be helpful if when a photo is added to an Event Tabblo (e.g. via email), that the owner of the Tabblo is notified via email. This way they can clean up size/positioning.

Otherwise, we rely on someone notifying us or checking it "when we remember".

Thanks.

DVP said at 5:35 p.m. on Dec 29, 2006:
Have you ever considered an option where you can chose to have a frame around a photo? You know, turn it on, turn it off, make it different colors...

Would be a nice new addition.

Timball said at 4:59 p.m. on Dec 28, 2006:
My camera has a 16:9 native CCD. I could use a layout object that at least acknowledges that there can be images in other aspect ratios other than 4:3 or 3:2 or you know... square.

Of course after you add in some layout boxy thingie that can do that I'll probably start posting whacky panoramas... :)

Other than that. Good job. I thought about coding up some software to post photos myself, but you guys really did a nice job and help me avoid being a flickr whore.

What kind of code do your code monkeys like to write tabblo in?

I created my first book. Maybe I got lucky, but I had no issues with a book of 80 pages and 80+ pics.

One suggestion that I spent time with, was an easier way to remove blank pages. Maybe in the "sort view" to be able to check pages off and press a delete key. That tended to be time consuming.

Other than that - I loved it.

Can't wait to see my first (of many) books.

DVP said at 1:26 p.m. on Dec 21, 2006:
When sharing tabblos with a group, can we have the option to select more than ONE tabblo at a time?

This is important to me now that all my tabblos have been removed from all my groups multiple times. To reload them all one by one is too time consuming for me.

Just change radio buttons to check boxes. Sounds simple right?! Hah, I'm not coding it.... :)

Acmurray said at 5:01 a.m. on Dec 18, 2006:
Small and picky thing, but:
Could it be possible to list tabblos in a custom order rather than necessarily by the orders listed (sort of the way you can re-order your queue on Netflix)? That would make it easy to categorize them or to list them temporally by when the photos were taken and not by when the tabblo itself was made...
That's the only thing though. This site is amazing; I can't reiterate enough how frustrated I've been by every other photo album site on the web (free and subscription!) and how simply perfect Tabblo is.

DVP said at 3:53 p.m. on Dec 15, 2006:
On the Books Tabblo can you add a button to go back to the front of the book once you've reached the end?

DVP said at 11:21 a.m. on Dec 15, 2006:
The option to change the quantity of your order during the check out process would be nice.

As it stands now, you have to start the whole process over if you change your mind.

Similar to my other suggestion about ebay auctions, I would rather not have the ebay buyer seeing my stuff like "next Tabblo", "my photos", or "my circle" ... In other words, my Tabblo community.

I think it would be a positive to keep it very Tabblo branded and allow them to go to the "home page", but if I could eliminate any of the other personal links on the top or bottom, I would feel more comfortable (ebay isn't as 'friendly' / trustworthy as our Tabblo community).... :)

Cruising said at 8:50 a.m. on Dec 3, 2006:
I made a Tabblo that I was going to use for an ebay auction (a GREAT use of Tabblo), however, I want to eliminate comments on the Tabblo.

It would be nice if there was an option of making subsets of Tabblos that are geared towards groups. If you have a Tabblo geared towards just a particular group, maybe it would show up as a link on the Member page, saying something like "Tabblo residing only in the Landscape Group" or something like that.

The reason why is that sometimes I can find subsets of photos within Tabblos that would be good for a particular group, but I don't want to great a whole new Tabblo.

Maybe I'm just weird, I don't know, but most of my Tabblos are linear "stories". However, Groups are "topical" and I don't always feel like posting a whole new Tabblo with photos I've already posted.

OR... maybe you could add one more level of privacy to a Tabblo and make it "Available to Groups Only". Hey... now there's an idea!

Again, then you could put a link on the Member's page to those Tabblos. I dunno... maybe this is getting kinda complicated. lol

Dave.delay said at 5:58 p.m. on Nov 24, 2006:
By mistake, I added one of my tabblos to a group managed by another Tabblo member. Apparently, the group manager is able to remove the tabblo, but I can't. At least. I can't figure out how to do it.

Ideally, if you add a tabblo to a group, you should also be able to remove it.

Thanks.

i was thinking that maybe we, on a per user level, could group our tabblos into categories that we could define. For example, i could have a "family" category and i group tabblos there. but a tabblo can only belong to one category. So on my page, instead of seeing alot of tabblos, i hope to see some sort of folder or category :)
