WHY IS IT, HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN ?

[bigalw]

I normally check the site and contents daily, but sometimes in the "Album" section I get the message below ??

"Invalid Album specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator"

as there are obviously administrators and moderators how is it that quite a few of these people get through the net, surely the administrators/moderators are aware of them ???

When you get that message, it means the album has been removed.
Unlike threads and posts in the open forum, users maintain control of editing their albums. They can add and remove photos as they wish, or delete an entire album.

The other possibility is that the album has been made private. Private albums can only be viewed by people on that member's contact list. If there's an album you want to see, you may need to send a friend request to the owner.

Only One Click Pass members can make 'Private' albums.

I'd thought that private albums was a useful facility and thought about a One Click Pass but it doesn't represent good value for that alone.
I know all the other access that comes with it but I'm quite happy with the OCC content and I'm not into videos that much. There is already far more than I can view over a morning coffee - and that's not a complaint!

The bottom line is, has any thought been given to a tiered membership so that more people could use the private album facility at a lower price.
I just think that there are probably people who are cautious about posting on open albums but are happy to share with those who contibute. I think the net result who be more content in the long run.

I appreciate the admin issues asociated with a more complex membership system, just thought I pick up on the post as the subject of private albums was raised.

Thank You
