Welcome to the MadcowModels development blog, here you can find out whats going on, on MadcowModels.

Organise your photos in photo albums
Posted on Saturday 5th of May 2012
You can now organise your photos on MadcowModels into photo albums!

To provide you with the greatest flexibility to organise your photos exactly how you wish there are no limits as to how many albums you can have, or how many albums a photo can be placed in. The thinking behind this is that you may wish to organise the photos by models/photographers you've worked with, or even have a portfolio album of your best images and albums of experimental styles. The possibilities are endless!

Can I add photos I'm tagged in to albums?


At this stage no, but that functionality will be added soon.

How do I reorder my albums?


To reorder the images in your album(s), go to "Photo...


Spell checker
Posted on Monday 30th of April 2012
Although many modern browsers have a spell checker built in, quite a few people have this turned off by default.

I've now added a spell checker to the forum's, post-a-casting and update profile sections.

Refer a friend referrals status
Posted on Sunday 8th of April 2012
The referral page ( www.madcowmodels.co.uk/refer ) has been updated to now include the status of any referrals you've sent to friends....

Saved member lists
Posted on Thursday 5th of April 2012
You can now create lists and categorise your saved members into them, making it easier to keep track of each member and easier to find them.

To start creating and organising, go to "Saved members" from your Control Panel.

Shortly, I will be adding the functionality to add a member to a list as soon as you save them.

James...


Rotate images
Posted on Tuesday 3rd of April 2012
If you've uploaded any images and they are orientated incorrectly, you can now rotate them by going to Your control panel - Photo Manager - click the photo you wish to edit and clicking "rotate left" or "rotate right" underneath the image.

Mobile website blank page fix
Posted on Wednesday 7th of March 2012
Some members were experiencing blank pages when trying to access the mobile website ( m.madcowmoddels.co.uk ) off of Windows based mobiles, or via Internet Explorer.

This bug has now been fixed. If you still experience any issues with the mobile website, please contact me.

Updated advert system
Posted on Monday 5th of March 2012
Whether you have your own business to advertise, a blog, or even just want to advertise your own portfolio, you can do so quickly easily and affordably using the MadcowModels Advert Publisher, and now its even easier to target your advert with our latest Advert Manager updates.

Whats new?:

• Your Advert Manager ( www.madcowmodels.co.uk/advertising/manager ) has been integrated with your account, so no need to log in to each advert individually.

• The old advert manager log in screen is now a summary page for your adverts ( www.madcowmodels.co.uk/advertising/manager )

• You can now set up an advert by...

Rebuilt dialog boxes and image statistics
Posted on Wednesday 8th of February 2012
There were several underlying bugs in the previous dialog/popup boxes. I've rebuilt the dialog boxes to remove the bugs, and restyled them. I've now launched them site wide.

As a part of this, the functionality on photo pages to view a photos statistics has now been re-enabled. Clicking the number of views a photo has, on the photo page, will display a dialog box which will detail how many views a photo has had over different periods of time, and where the views have come from.

James...


Control panel updates filter
Posted on Saturday 4th of February 2012
You can now filter the updates you see on your control panel, by going to "Your control panel" - "Your Updates Options".

The updates can be filtered by type, and you can also decide how far back in history you want your updates to go.

Thanks to mattauckland for the suggestion....


Photos uploaded on a specific date
Posted on Tuesday 31st of January 2012 | Posted by James
So you've clicked a link that says "Joe Bloggs has uploaded x photos today", which is great, except if they have an extensive portfolio, then scrolling through to find their new photos is a bit of a pain.

Now, we've started introducing links which display only the photos uploaded on a specific date, so using our example above, the link will take you through to Joe bloggs portfolio which will just display the photo's he uploaded today.

These links have also been introduced to the "Uploaded" date on each photo page.

Photo albums and message emails
Posted on Friday 6th of January 2012

Create your own photo albums


Albums are the new way to save and organise photos on MadcowModels. Save your favourite photos, photos for inspiration at a later date or those that you'd just like to refer back to.
For example, here is just a small album dedicated to some of my favourite photos on MadcowModels:
www.madcowmodels.co.uk/james/albums?albumid=3
And you can view all of my albums here:
www.madcowmodels.co.uk/james/albums

You can save a photo by clicking the star on each and every photo page, and you'll then be prompted to save it to an album or to create an album.

Non modelling photo category
Posted on Tuesday 3rd of January 2012
For new photographers, who haven't yet photographed a model, we allow them to upload a maximum of 2 non-modelling photos to their portfolio.
As soon as they upload 2 or more modelling photos, the non-modelling photos are removed.

www.madcowmodels.co.uk/blog/2011/11/Photo-policy-updates.html

What this meant, was that non-modelling photos would be polluting the normal modelling categories.

We have now added a "Non-modelling" photo category. This is *only* to be used to contain the non-modelling photos for new photographers, and does not mean hundreds of non-modelling photos can now be uploaded.

Regards,

James...


Messaging updates
Posted on Thursday 29th of December 2011
The message/conversation page has recently been updated, to a neater version which also provides a lot more information about the member you're conversing with.

The message stream


The message stream has been moved to the left hand side, and has been tidied up - hiding things like the Attachment feature and messaging privileges, which appear when you start to type a message.

Feedback from other members


Any feedback the member you're messaging has received will be displayed on the right hand side, along with the photoshoot rating, giving you a quick insight into that members history.

Members work styles and rates

Plus one
Posted on Sunday 18th of December 2011 | Posted by James
+1, or Plus one. The new link above all forum posts, and on all comments around the site allows you to quickly and easily agree with what another member wrote.
You can also click the "X members +1'd this" link to see who else has agreed with what the member has written.

I look forward to your feedback,

James...


Your messages dropdown and hovercard redesign
Posted on Tuesday 13th of December 2011

Message Dropdown


Tried hovering over the "Your Messages" link at the top of the page? Hovering over it will now display a quick summary of the last 5 messages you've received, who they're from and whether you've read them.

This will receive another update shortly to add a tab for sent messages, so you'll be able to see a quick summary of messages you've sent, and whether they've been read.

Hovercard Redesign



The hovercards (The little things that display when you hover over a members username) have been redesigned, and they will now load a lot quicker.

The redesign has...


Members choice photo
Posted on Friday 9th of December 2011 | Posted by James
We've had the Editors Choice on the home page for about 18 months now, and now we have Members Choice.

If you've seen a photo which you think deserves extra exposure, click the "Choose this photo" button on the photos page, and the photo with the most amount of members choice votes will be displayed on the front page of MadcowModels!

Please be aware, you only have 1 vote a week - so use it wisely!

Of course, you cannot choose your own photos ;) and unfortunately photos which contain nudity also cannot be chosen at this time.

Education centre youtube and photo nudity
Posted on Sunday 4th of December 2011

Education Centre


For many months I've mentioned in the forums that I'm interested in building an education centre. Why? Well a lot of our members are relative newcomers to the industry, so having a one-stop-shop where our experienced members can share some of their knowledge and experiences with the "newbies" makes perfect sense.

You can find the new education centre here: www.madcowmodels.co.uk/help-centre

The development blogs and articles have been integrated with it, as well as the glossary and other "site help" bits.

The "Member help" section will be expanded to include other sections over the next few weeks, but we feel theres enough there to kick start it.

Online Icon
Posted on Thursday 1st of December 2011
All around the site you will now be seeing little green dots ( )

These green dots indicate whether the member is online or not.

You will be seeing these little dots:
1) On profiles
2) On forum threads
3) On hover cards
4) On your inbox/sentbox
5) On the messaging pages
6) On comments

Hope it helps!

Christmas header and home page snow
Posted on Thursday 1st of December 2011
December is here, and there's no denying that Christmas is rapidly approaching.
Each year we do a different header design for it, and we've just launched this years!
We've also followed our tradition of having snow falling on the front page.

If, you do not want to see the Christmas header you can switch back by clicking the "Normal header" link on the footer.
The Christmas header and snow will remain in place until the 1st of January, 2012.

Photo policy updates
Posted on Friday 18th of November 2011
We've always been fairly relaxed with the photos uploaded to MadcowModels, both in quality and content.

We will now be tightening the reigns on what can be uploaded, but for the better.

Camera phone photos


The uploading of camera phone photos/low quality photos have always been against the rules, but this rule has never been enforced except in some cases.
This rule will now be fully enforced. Camera phone photos are no longer allowed on the site, and any camera phone/low quality photos on the site will be removed.

Please bear with us whilst we do this.. there are thousands and thousands of photos on MadcowModels, and it takes time...


New photo categories and site header update
Posted on Thursday 10th of November 2011
A few new updates today!

Photo Categories


We've just added a few new photo categories which have been suggested/requested by a few members.

The new categories are:
Alternative Fashion
Published
Still Life
Life Style
Theme
Photomanipulation

If there are any categories you'd like to see, please feel free to let us know!

Header update


The header has been updated - to get rid of that black bar behind the header, and...


Your work styles and rates
Posted on Tuesday 8th of November 2011
"What are your rates?" is most commonly the first message between a photographer and model. Often you may just want to compare the rates between several different members, which can be made a long process by having to mail each member and every member.

Today we've introduced the ability to input your rates for each work style, and these will then be displayed on your profile!

To input yours, go to Your Control Panel and go to "Update Profile"....


Response Rate Update
Posted on Thursday 3rd of November 2011
The thread in the forums about the response rate provided a lot of good feedback.

The response rate has since been updated, first earlier this week and again today.

The new response rate looks at messages you've received and checks to see whether you replied to the initial message.
It does not take into account "conversations", only the first contact between you and another member. The thinking behind this is that it provides a more accurate result as to whether a member will respond to initial replies.

James...


Comment system rollout
Posted on Tuesday 25th of October 2011 | Posted by James
Today, the comment system has been rolled out to another area of the site, and merged with another system.

The commenting system is now on each casting call, allowing for open/group discussions about individual casting calls.

The new system has also been merged with the photo commenting system, allowing for a better tie up of comments in the future.

Commenting is now available on the following pages:

•Blogs

•Articles

•Photos

•Castings


And it...


Changes to the visibility of adult rated images
Posted on Wednesday 19th of October 2011
We currently have a work safe mode feature which if switched on, doesn't allow you to view adult rated images. When turned off, the website is "unfiltered".

We realise that this isn't the perfect solution. Just because you want to look at images categorised as glamour or lingerie for example, doesn't mean you want "Adult" photos appearing on your screen.

Rather than banning the upload of adult images (though there are rules on what is and isn't accepted), instead we've restricted how they can be viewed and where they will be displayed.

Whats changed?



1) Work Safe Mode can not be turned off by non-members, to prevent under-18's from...


Instant email notifications for new castings
Posted on Friday 16th of September 2011
Members can now receive instant email notifications for new casting calls added to MadcowModels!

The moment a new casting is posted, matching your chosen criteria, you will be emailed a link that will take you through to the casting call, so that you can be one of the first to respond to it!

So that you only get notifications for castings that you're interested in, you can specify to receive an email when the casting is looking for a specific member type (a model, or a photographer for example) and a specific remuneration type. So if you're only interested in paid work, you can receive notifications when a paid casting call is added!

To set up your notifications, go to "Your Control Panel"...


Updated statistics section
Posted on Wednesday 7th of September 2011
The statistics page for your profile and photos has been updated.

The photo statistics now show the "absolute unique" views, so each person that views a photo is only logged once, and refreshing the page will have absolutely no effect on the statistics.

Below the daily statistics is a "How people are finding your profile" section. This section shows all the referring pages to your profile, these may be internal links from a search on MadcowModels, links from facebook or any other website for example.

"How people are finding your photos" will be added shortly, as well as a timeline/history view for both photo and profile referrers....


Saved user notes and activity
Posted on Friday 2nd of September 2011
Although not a new feature, as it was always available through your "Saved Users" ( www.madcowmodels.co.uk/SavedUsers.php ) panel, we've now linked the Notes and Recent Activity panel to members profiles.

Now when you save another member you can go to their profile and click the "My Activity" tab at the top of the page. A pop up page will appear allowing you to add notes about that member (which are private and cannot be seen by anyone else). You can also see all that members recent activity on the site such as new photos, castings and forum posts.

Not new, just more convenient :)...


Request feedback from non members
Posted on Wednesday 24th of August 2011
You can now get feedback from people you've worked with who are not members of MadcowModels!

www.madcowmodels.co.uk/requestfeedback

If you've worked with someone, whos not on MadcowModels, you can fill your part of the form and they will be emailed to ask them to fill in their part of the form.
Being an experienced model/photographer/MUA, yet signing up to a website and having no feedback/recommendation's to your name is unfair, and we hope this will redress this in-balance.

They will also be invited join MadcowModels, and if they do, you get 1 months TopMembership for free....


Article and blog comments
Posted on Monday 22nd of August 2011
We've introduced the ability to comment of articles and blogs, enabling you to give us feedback on the blogs, and to share your thoughts on articles.

Over the past few months, we've had several requests to introduce profile comments.

As always, we're interested to know what you think - whether its a good or bad idea, so you can let us know using the new commenting system below, or the poll on the right hand side (if you're logged in)....


Search engine and tagging auto complete
Posted on Sunday 7th of August 2011
Today we added an "autocomplete" for the search engine and tagging system.

If you're looking for a particular member, you can start typing their username in the search box at the top right of every page, and 10 of the closest matches to that username will display.
Clicking on one of the dropdowns will take you through to that profile.

We've also added the autocomplete to the tagging system when adding and updating images. When you want to tag member, start typing their username in the relevant box on the upload/update pages and the autocomplete will give you a bit of help finding that member and using the correct tagging method....


Updated Member Search Engine
Posted on Saturday 6th of August 2011
We've just launched the new member search engine:
www.madcowmodels.co.uk/search

The new search engine merges the standard search engine with the postcode search. What this means, is that you can search for members within a certain radius of a postcode.

The search engine has also been tidied up, removing a lot of old fields that won't being utilised much/or we felt that a lot of good members may have been being overlooked because the member may have had slightly incomplete fields.

Future updates to the search engine will see the ability to search for more than one member type at a time.

The photo search engine...


New work styles
Posted on Wednesday 3rd of August 2011
We've just added several new work styles, they are:

Catalogue
Commercial
Lifestyle
Make-up
Pin-up
Implied Nude

You can add these to your profile by going to "Your control panel", and clicking "Edit Profile".

If there are any other work styles you'd like to see added, please let us know.

Gift a Membership
Posted on Wednesday 3rd of August 2011
So, you've just worked with a member and now they can't display those brilliant photos on their profile, simply because they're a free member.. well now you can "Gift" someone an upgrade! Simply go to the bottom of the members profile, and click "Gift Membership".

Maybe you'd rather "part gift/part pay" a member for their time, or you'd rather enjoy the benefits of additional exposure by having your photos displayed across 2 profiles rather than just the one.. whatever the reason, the possibility is now there.

The gifting process works exactly like the normal upgrade process. You'll be taken to the upgrade page, select which membership you'd like to gift to your friend, and you'll be taken through to paypal.

Let us know...


Front Page Updates
Posted on Monday 11th of July 2011
As you may well have noticed, we have updated the front page of MadcowModels.

Whats New?


The biggest change is the new "Recent Activity" scrollable stream on the front page, which displays some of the recent activity from our members on MadcowModels.

The purple headers have also been made smaller, to bring more focus to the photos/content on the page.

We've also added a "Photo Spotlight", this chooses a different photo from the MadcowModels photo database, and displays it.

The Articles and Site Blog boxes have been moved into the left and right hand columns, and the remuneration type has been added to the Casting...


Photo organising editor
Posted on Saturday 2nd of July 2011 | Posted by James
One of the most requested features is the ability to order/organise your photos, and today we've just launched the ability to do that.

Organising your photos is simple, you just go to your Photo Manager, click "organise photos" and drag and drop the photos into your desired order.

Any changes to the photos order are saved instantly, so there is no need to press a save/submit button.

If you're logged in, you can edit your photo order by clicking here: www.madcowmodels.co.uk/PhotoManager.php?action=order

Any feedback is welcome.

Profile Preapproval Check List
Posted on Saturday 25th of June 2011
When a new member signs up, and logs into their control panel, they will now see a checklist of things that need to be completed on their profile before it can be considered for approval.

These criteria are:
A valid Email Address*
A profile photo
An "About me"
Completed profile information
and to be added soon: a minimum amount of photos in the members gallery

This is to ensure that profiles on MadcowModels.co.uk are as complete as possible, and profiles will no longer be accepted unless the check list is complete.

*Email addresses are now automatically "pinged", so we...

The new forum layout has gone live..!

Forum Home Page



Theres not too much new on the home page, largely, its been cleaned up and made more efficient on the processing side, and a few of the forums have been re-ordered into a more logical order.

Members message response rate
Posted on Wednesday 8th of June 2011
All members profiles on MadcowModels now display the members message response rate.

This information is only available to members on the TopMember and Premium membership packages.

The message response rate is measured in percentage, and it will be added to various other places on MadcowModels, such as the hover cards and user listings, shortly.

Message Sending and Log in Slowness
Posted on Monday 6th of June 2011 | Posted by James
Several new updates for you..

Message Sending


When members were using the messaging system, sometimes there was a bit of lag when the messaging system was connecting to all of the other systems to send the message + upload any attachments.

Now when you press "Send!", the submit button will disappear and a message telling you that your message is being sent, and attachments being uploaded, will appear.. hopefully preventing members from pressing the "Send" button several times in confusion ;-)

Log in Slowness


We were aware that logging in was taking up to 10 seconds to happen after pressing the "log in" button. ...


Suggest new photo categories and modeling work styles
Posted on Thursday 2nd of June 2011 | Posted by James
With more and more photos being uploaded, and many more members signing up every day, we're hoping to add more specific photo categories and a wider range of work style categories to prevent "over crowding" in each category.. so who better is there to ask than the users themselves!

Photo Categories


The photo categories we currently have:
Fashion
Catwalk
Fitness
Stock
Editorial
Body Parts

Headshot
Swimwear

Messages emails and urls
Posted on Tuesday 31st of May 2011 | Posted by James
We have recently changed our policy regarding email addresses and website urls in messages between members.

Free members can no longer send email addresses/URLs to other free members, nor can they see them. If one member in the conversation is paid, and the other free, URLS and emails will be visible to both members.

It is only between Free members that email addresses/urls will be filtered.

Its very important to us that we make the Free membership as usable as possible, whilst at the same time, making sure the paid memberships are good value and the benefits worthwhile.

TopMembership is set at the competitive price of £3 a month, giving you full access to...

Website modeling and photography glossary
Posted on Thursday 5th of May 2011 | Posted by James
We've compiled a small glossary of terms used within the modeling and photographic industry. We understand that becoming a part of a new industry can be a bit daunting, and thats before you realise theres potentially a whole new language of terms and words out there.

Work Safe Mode
Posted on Wednesday 27th of April 2011 | Posted by James
We've just introduced a work safe mode on MadcowModels.

Work Safe Mode prevents any nudity from displaying, and it prevents you from being able to search for it.
It also prevents you from being able to view adult rated casting calls, and select the adult-rated categories on the search engines.

By default safe mode is on for everyone, but it is optional to turn off except for under-18's who cannot turn off safe mode.

On MadcowModels, you can turn the Work Safe Mode on and off, via the little switch located at the bottom right of the footer, titled "Turn work safe mode off".

For more information, please...

To view this gallery, there is a link at the top of your profile.

Have you done a shoot with a member, and they've not tagged you in the photos? Contact us and we can tag you in them.

If photos appear in your gallery that aren't of you, or if there is any other problem with the tagged photos, please contact us.
