I'd like to announce to everyone that we will now be introducing the new SCANDAL Gallery!

As you can see now, categories are now sorting the images.

There are 5 main Gallery categories.

------- Blog --------

All blog pics go inside here. It's divided into the years since the start of SCANDAL blog, 2009, 2010, 2011.
Each year will contain the months of the year where that picture was posted. Pictures the girls posted that month will also be posted on the same month regardless of who's the one in the picture. Once the month ends, it will be locked and the thread for the following month will be created.

------- Live Performance -------

All pictures of live performances/appearance will be posted here.
It's divided into 3, Live Events, Live Tours, and International Lives.
- Live events are all live events attended by SCANDAL where they appeared and performed.
- Live Tours are all pictures coming from SCANDAL's own live tours.
- International Live is obviously all pictures of SCANDAL outside Japan, from the airport down to their performance.

Threads will be made for each event. So it will not be like the General SCANDAL Pictures before where everything is posted there.

-------- Magazine --------

All Magazine appearances of SCANDAL will be placed here.
It will be sorted now by the name of the Magazine and the date. So we recommend if you're posting new scans there, including the publish date would really be nice.

There's also a miscellaneous magazine picture thread there, so if you have no idea where your scan is from then post it there.

------- Official ----------

Obviously official pictures. Pictures of them officially released by Sony.

-------- Miscellenous --------

Have no idea where to put yours? Then place it here for now. This is also the place of pictures that don't fall on the above categories. Examples are live appearances of the girls where they were interviewed and also things like the Salon pictures the girls are recently having.

____________________________________________

This was done to make the pictures more arranged and organized for easier viewing. Searching for pics won't get you anymore to the hassle of clicking the page one by one. You just have to have an idea of what your looking for and look for the name of the thread and you'll see what you're looking for.

I know we'll have huge adjustments specially when it comes to posting pictures there, compared to the previous one where we just place everything in a single thread. As you'll notice also there will be no more individual picture thread of the girls.

Post here what you think of this new gallery. Feedback, comments, suggestions, questions, everything. We want to see how this gallery will go, so your opinions will be very much appreciated.

Also as you can see, the one who did all the hard work is BB, so credits goes to him for.

WOOHOO! everything seems so organised now :D Many thanks to BB for the new revamp!

This new Gallery serves up the purpose as what mc has mentioned.

however, each and every member can still contribute to any pictures if they are not found in the new gallery.

so yea, let's try and make this new gallery at its awesome best!

EDIT: if you see some of the topics does not contain pictures, is because i have not done it yet. sorry about that.

Guys, thanks for the efforts and dedication to make Gallery section a more organized place. So, if I may humble opinion, I think the individual member thread should have continued... That way, people have less time to go all around the forum every day, we walked directly to the member section of our favorite girl and take her new picture quickly.

But as I said, only an insignificant opinion and does not tarnish the good work they have done.

Regards

For the individual threads, it will be gone. But we would not rule out the possibility of restoring them back.

this is because we want the members to have a feel about the new gallery, and we will hear all the suggestions to improve this gallery.

The staff had mixed opinions on this, so we're going to test one proposed method first.

It seems like quite a number of people are confused using the new gallery.

If there's anything to improve/change/complain/enquire,please do tell us.Your honest opinions are the only way to improve on the new gallery.

First of all, really thank BB for the effort to sort the pictures out for us. It must be difficult to decide on which categories the pictures go into. Really great work.

The magazine gallery is good IMO. Previously, we had to scroll through the pages to find the magazine or picture we wanted, and it sometimes is a bit confusing which picture belongs to which magazine. By sorting according to the magazine title, it makes searching easy.

I agree with Rinaland on the individual picture thread, but I understand it is not easy to define which ones go to individual and which ones don't.

How about double posting the individual pictures? All pictures should still be posted into the respective categories, but those that are individual pictures get to be posted one more time into the individual threads.

Just giving my suggestion (^w^)

Wow! Great work guys! Especially BB! You sir, are committed! Kudos!
This will definitely help individuals who are looking for a specific picture and reduce the amount of posts from users that contain old pictures that have already been posted before.
I really like the way the blog photos have been re-arranged, with the old blog pics from the past years locked up and displayed as kind of a thumbnail-album on the first post. I would like to see this when a month of new blog photos has been completed and locked up(the blog photos for Sept. 2011, for instance). This "system" really solves the problem of clicking through pages and pages of pics just to find a pic that was in mind.
If you guys do decide on bringing the individual girls' galleries back, it would rock to see the thumbnail first post thing applied after the thread would reach the max amount of posts.
Oh yeah, while I briefly skimmed through the new gallery section, I noticed that there's no thread for pictures from the girls' twitters. I know the pics are random(things from food to buildings to trees) and usually don't feature the girls directly, but I think it would be interesting to check out what the girls are...checking out. lol.

-That's all I can say about the new gallery...for now

that's a good idea, lexian! the pictures from the girls twitter can be thrown to the random pictures. but of course, that needs daily updates also. so give it our best!

Thanks. It's definitely an organized place now. If I'm looking for an individual picture it is easier to find. The new organizing of the threads will probably make it easier for members to tell when new threads appear or are updated in a certain area (as arranged by the sub-forums). For me, however, it seems coming across new pictures on a more general basis is slightly more difficult. Previously, because of the thread for pictures of each individual member, checking those 4 threads would pretty much keep me up to date with new pictures and sometimes events going on. With the new gallery it seems like keeping a more general view of things is a little harder.

Thanks for all the hard work (I reminded myself of a certain phrase in Japanese while typing this sentence).

Whoa! Nice one BB!
Nau I can see the picts. more easier~

Oh I forgot to edit the links of the icons. Fixed them now~

We're still continuing discussions about the individual threads, so waiting for updates for now will be appreciated.

how do i go to the galleries?

Is Perfectly Ordered .happy.
