05 June 2010:- introduction of 'Admin Approval'.

We are now using the 'Admin Approval' system for new photos entering our group pool.

- photos submitted by members will enter a queue for approval by an Admin.
- please make 3 comments (using the copy/paste code) on other photos
when you submit your photo to the queue.

We hope this system will improve your experience in 'flori' and maintain the high standards which we know you expect to see in our pool.

Full details of how the system works, and how to track your photo's progress + query a decision, are in our thread 'WHY USE A 'QUEUE' ? - "Admin Approval" explained
