There are loco classes in IR (Indian Railways ) which is not in your list like WAP-5 WAP-7 WAG-9 etc.How can these info be added?

Regards

Jay

At the bottom of the database page:

"If your country has a short list of vehicles, please fill the new photos. When you upload photos of new vehicles, they will be added to the database."

In the About section:

"The number of units of railway vehicles in the world is very high, and we cannot, of course, add all the units in the database manually. If you have photos of locomotives that are not yet present in the database, please upload them! As soon as photos of a new locomotive are loaded, we'll add a profile of this locomotive into the database and you will become a discoverer of this vehicle. Ask your friends to add their photos of missing vehicles, and they too will become discoverers. "

As of now an image of WAP-5 is pending in your database from my upload for your approval....
 
 
  Mikhail Ter  December 6, 2010
 
i know :) please, don't write about all pending photos to dev topics, it's for requesting features. If you want to contact moderators, please use Report button on your photo. Thank you!
 
 
  Jayasankar Madhavadas  December 6, 2010
 
So if I need to add WAG-9 WAP-5 WAP-7 WDM-2 / 2A / 2B / 2C and WDM 3D and WDG-3A series , I just need to upload the picture and you will add that class of loco to the database.

This is the procedure as per my inference from your mail. Am I correct?
 
 
  Mikhail Ter  December 6, 2010
 
Yes, just upload them. And they will become at the db in a few hours. Thank you!
 
 
  Dragoş Anoaica  December 13, 2010
 
Do you accept narrow gauge steam locomotives?
 
 
  Mikhail Ter  December 13, 2010
 
A little bit later. We will place a special announcement about this.
 
 
  Dragoş Anoaica  December 13, 2010
 
Ok. I will remove the photo.
What about small (2 axles) Diesel shunters?
 
 
  Mikhail Ter  December 13, 2010
 
All kind of diesel shunters is ok :)
 
 
  Dragoş Anoaica  December 13, 2010
 
I asked because I saw you rejected me one.
 
 
  docent  January 6, 2011
 
It would be great if be not only twitter and flickr usernames in profile, and also a livejournal and homepage links too. And also not bad if buttons like "share this" with others blogs or social networks.
 
 
  Mikhail Ter  January 6, 2011
 
Profile will be improved this month. Sharing buttons will be added as far as photo page will be rebuilt a little.
 
 
  Pierre-Noël Rietsch  January 20, 2011
 
I tried to enter location names with several words (Like: Zürich-Wipkingen, Yaoundé-Marchandises, Winterthur HB) and they were rejected. It looks also that accents (like in "Yaoundé") are rejected.

All that could give way to confusions, as for example:
- There is a station named "Zürich-Altstetten"
- If you write only "Altstetten": There are 3 other towns named "Altstetten" in Switzerland (and perhaps some others in Austria or Germany...)
- If you write only "Zürich": There are 15 stations named "Zürich-xxx", local railways not counted... (and it's possible I forgot a pair of them!)
 
 
  Mikhail Ter  January 20, 2011
 
Thank you for the report. This issue is fixed. You can now edit all your photos to insert correct names.

p.s. I was edited this photo location http://trainspo.com/photo/1851/#photo just for testing
 
 
  Daniele Neroni  April 22, 2011
 
An ideas for adding a new feature: stats of viewing image, people profile (eg web-site, locality and city) and an accurate position in google map (eg flickr).
 
 
  Mikhail Ter  April 27, 2011
 
More stats and detailed profile in the working list. And we are planning to make an option to add GPS coordinates to the own photos.
 
 
  Dheeraj Rao  April 29, 2011
 
Would it be possible to increase the length of the caption slightly to about 100 characters?
 
 
  Narendro Anindito  May 12, 2011
 
mister, can add notification page like facebook or flickr?

thanks before.
 
 
  Mikhail Ter  May 12, 2011
 
We can make everything but i can't understand what are you talking about :)

1) We have email notifications about comments/likes on your pictures.
2) We have email notifications about new pictures from your friends in follow list.
3) We have flow system what show all your friends activity http://trainspo.com/flow/

Could you tell us more about those notifications that you are missing?
 
 
  Narendro Anindito  May 12, 2011
 
my mind, notification the activity on my photos and notification if my comment has been replied. and all published in a page, like http://trainspo.com/flow/
:)
 
 
  Mikhail Ter  May 12, 2011
 
Understood. We are thinking about it :)
 
 
  Narendro Anindito  May 12, 2011
 
okay... ;)
 
 
  Giovanni Grasso  May 13, 2011
 
salve volevo chiedere lumi sulle mie foto che sono semrpe in attesa.......
 
 
  Giovanni Grasso  May 14, 2011
 
ancosa sto in attesa.....ma le E483 DB SCHENKER RAIL ITALIA non piacciono a qualcuno dello staff? per caso?
 
 
  Pierre-Noël Rietsch  May 23, 2011
 
Is it no longer possible to see the pictures "new vehicles" and "waiting" in the personal gallery, only in the "activity" list? I know I have more or less 10 of them, uploaded weeks ago, but it's hard to follow what happens (resp. what doesn't happen)
 
 
  Mikhail Ter  May 23, 2011
 
You can see every picture status in your personal gallery. You must be logged on.

Btw, good point to focus on it - we need to add more detailed status bar for the waiting pics in the personal gallery. Will be ready this week.
 
 
  Pierre-Noël Rietsch  May 23, 2011
 
The problem is that when I open my personal gallery (when being logged in), I can see only the pictures who have been approved, but not the "waiting" or "new vehicles" ones.
 
 
  Mikhail Ter  May 23, 2011
 
Just look under the picture, and you can see picture status in square brackets. You can scroll all the gallery and find all waiting pics.

I know, this is really inconvenient way and that because we need to add more detailed status bar for all waiting pics.
 
 
  Andrew Zolotukhin  May 25, 2011
 
It would be good to add a possibility to specify more than one vehicle for a photo.
 
 
  Mikhail Ter  May 25, 2011
 
Yep, we are working on it.
 
 
  Giovanni Grasso  May 28, 2011
 
EX SNCB 7103 383/25 scusate ma nella fto la macchina e' questa 7103 non 71
 
 
  Giovanni Grasso  May 29, 2011
 
non capisco ancora perche la foto non e' passata

http://www.trainspo.com/photo/7748/#photo

e' una locomotiva d amanovra di SBB infrastruttura nel deposito di chiasso ....
 
 
  Giovanni Grasso  June 3, 2011
 
per il modello delle locomotiva nella foto G3 44 ecco il link di wikipedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GE_44-ton_swi...44-ton_switcher

spero di vederla pubblicata grazie :-)
 
 
  Micke321  June 20, 2011
 
Is it possible to add a gps coordinate instead of an location? Becasue many of my pictures are taken in the bushes.
 
 
  Mikhail Ter  June 21, 2011
 
This feature is not yet implemented, but we are thinking about how to make it more convenient.

At this moment you can upload pictures with GPS in EXIF headers. In any case, you can specify the area as location.
 
 
  ivanfurlanis  July 5, 2011
 
Is it possible to have the option to edit each field of vehicle details? It happened to me to make a mistake and I had to delete the photo and re-upload it instead to edit the mistaken field. Thanks.
 
 
  Mikhail Ter  July 5, 2011
 
You can use report button to tell what you want to delete/edit your picture.
 
 
  ivanfurlanis  July 5, 2011
 
Ok! Thank you.
 
 
  ivanfurlanis  July 9, 2011
 
Will be possibile to add the possibility to organize photos inside authors' galleries into subfolders with a customized order, like, for example, Flickr?
 
 
  Mikhail Ter  July 14, 2011
 
We are thinking about it. But now we are working core features implementation.
 
 
  ivanfurlanis  July 14, 2011
 
Ok. By the way, thank you very much for all your work with Trainspo!
 
 
  bagas alqadri  July 22, 2011
 
Can you make a webpage to show all of the class family ?
 
 
  Mikhail Ter  July 22, 2011
 
Can you tell more about this idea?
 
 
  bagas alqadri  July 23, 2011
 
Okay in this Trainspo we have a class family such as Dash 8 Family, Dash 9 Family, EuroSprinter Family, etc. Can we see all of Class Family like in database page? So there are two database, the first database is for classes and the second database is for that family.
 
 
  Mikhail Ter  July 31, 2011
 
Will think how to make this feature.
 
 
  Jayasankar Madhavadas  August 10, 2011
 
Any moderated website has a feature for the owner of the picture to know why the picture is rejected . Earlier this feature was religiously implemented. I wish that feature to be used by the moderators. It gives the owner a chance for improvement too.

Regards

Jay
 
 
  Mikhail Ter  August 10, 2011
 
Picture can't be rejected without any reason, it is technically impossible.
 
 
  Jayasankar Madhavadas  August 10, 2011
 
http://trainspo.com/photo/11075/#photo ... this picture of mine seems to be rejected ... there will always be a reason for rejection . So if the owner of the picture is aware of why his picture is rejected , it is helpful for the owner . That is what I meant by the earlier suggestion.

Regards

Jay
 
 
  Mikhail Ter  August 10, 2011
 
It's not a feature of the site engine. Any rejected picture must have a reason, right. So maybe you need to wait for the reason.

"Photos will be available in your gallery immediately after the upload, but you will receive new slots after the moderators approve your photos, or other members will rate your images positively. If you do not receive new slots for a long time, maybe it makes sense to remove the unsuccessful photos and upload new ones."
 
 
  Spotting Limburg  August 13, 2011
 
Is it possible to make the maps click-able and expandable?
So that you can see the location 'darts' better.
 
 
  Mikhail Ter  August 14, 2011
 
As you know, Trainspo is under development for now and we are just working on implementing of core features, and it's still time to talk about every new or wanted feature to make Trainspo better :)

About the maps, i think it's cool that picture view page is lightweight for browser generation with static map image
vs dynamic javascript code - it's more comfortable to browse images. But if you need more closer view to map, you can click on the map and open google maps detail view, or click on the location name to get this within Trainspo.

If you are talking about the map in the member profile view, or vehicle map - it will be dynamic map soon, as well as location dynamic map, for example http://trainspo.com/geo/7838693/
 
 
  Spotting Limburg  August 15, 2011
 
I meant the last one yes. Nice to here that it will be implemented soon.
 
 
  Mikhail Ter  September 4, 2011
 
Added for the member profile.
 
 
  Spotting Limburg  August 15, 2011
 
Here's another one which will make classifying loco's hopefully a bit easier.

Is it possible to create a drop down list of all existing (which are already reported) vehicle classes within a operator class as soon as the operator field is defined.(perhaps via double clicking or mouse over for example)

Hopefully this will save some guessing time and avoiding entering mistakes for loco's of an certain operator. I know searching in the database is a manual solution to check this, but automating things when possible is always a big plus. ;-)

Regards Peter
 
 
  Mikhail Ter  August 15, 2011
 
Nice feature!

Just finished it, try it with "*" in the class field. Will add a synopsis after a few days of testing :)
 
 
  Spotting Limburg  August 15, 2011
 
Will do in the near feature. ;-)
 
 
  bagas alqadri  August 18, 2011
 
I think its better if each class has power output in Horsepower (HP) unit.
 
 
  Mikhail Ter  August 19, 2011
 
we're going to add a switches: hp or kW, km/h or mph, etc..
 
 
  bagas alqadri  August 19, 2011
 
oh okay thank you very much. :D
 
 
  Loris Ornella  August 28, 2011
 
Hi, can I post picture of city's tram?
Thnank you.
Loris
 
 
  Mikhail Ter  August 28, 2011
 
Now we have category for tram-trains:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tram-train

We have such item from France, for example: http://trainspo.com/class/1370/

But we are planning to make a category for city trams too in the nearest future. Announce about it will be displayed on the main page.
 
 
  Taylor Veldman  September 4, 2011
 
This isn't exactly a new feature request, but I think it will help beginners of the website to identify a certain locomotive. www.rrpicturearchives.net is where I go to when I need some help regarding unit information. Every American Railroad and some railroads in other countries can be found at this website. But you have to know the reporting marks your interested in, otherwise, it will take forever to find what your looking for.
 
 
  bagas alqadri  September 7, 2011
 
Hai, I have an idea.

How about to make Photo of the Month award and Photo of the Year Award ? And how about to make a page to display all photos which include in Photo of the week award ?

Thanks before
 
 
  Mikhail Ter  September 9, 2011
 
Thanks you for the idea, that would be very interesting! Need some time to think about how to make it better :)
 
 
  Taylor Veldman  September 16, 2011
 
Hey! I saw in the about Trainspo description that you are looking to complete a team of moderators, it says to contact us, but there's not any way to do that, I guess what I'm asking is, am I worthy enough to be a moderator? Or may I be one?
 
 
  Mikhail Ter  September 16, 2011
 
heya) Just mail to team@trainspo.com :)
 
 
  Spotting Limburg  October 1, 2011
 
More email notification options like disabling 'Trainspo | The same vehicle captured' messages etc.
 
 
  Mikhail Ter  October 1, 2011
 
It's easy to implement. Just tell full list of options :)
 
 
  Spotting Limburg  October 1, 2011
 
I think the following ones will be received the most via mail, other messages are more rare:

Photo acceptance notifications
Liked 5 times
The same vehicle captured

I don't know or there are any other auto generated messages which are send regularly via mail.
 
 
  Mikhail Ter  October 1, 2011
 
will be added in a few days.
 
 
  Shriram  October 2, 2011
 
How about a compare-loco feature using which you can compare the specs of 2 or more different engines in a tabular format?
 
 
  Mikhail Ter  October 8, 2011
 
We should add this feature in the nearest future.
 
 
  Shriram  October 2, 2011
 
Can we also have an option of viewing the EXIF information(if available) for a photograph so that we know which camera and lens was used to take it?
 
 
  Mikhail Ter  October 8, 2011
 
And this too :)
 
 
  bagas alqadri  October 6, 2011
 
Hi, i have an idea for you.

How about to make a watermark for every each photo accepted into trainspo ? It use to prevent photo piracy.
 
 
  Mikhail Ter  October 17, 2011
 
Thanks, maybe later.
 
 
  Mătrescu Tudor  November 20, 2011
 
Can you add the logo of RATP Iasi?
This is the logo: http://trolleybus.tramclub.org/Poze/3590.j...g/Poze/3590.jpg
 
 
  Mikhail Ter  November 25, 2011
 
We haven't ability to add logos to the operator company. Need to decide how to make it in one standart first.
 
 
  Spotting Limburg  December 1, 2011
 
Perhaps it's a nice idea to create a change log of Trainspo once in a while. Just to inform the big public about the development of this wonderful site. :-)
 
 
  Mikhail Ter  December 1, 2011
 
Yep, it would be useful and I think it should be done in a time.

p.s. now we are working on the nice fullscreen show of pictures and sets :)
 
 
  bagas alqadri  December 30, 2011
 
I hope there will be "the best photo ever in 2011" :p
 
 
  Mikhail Ter  December 30, 2011
 
Voting for the photo of 2011 will be started shortly after NY :)
 
 
  bagas alqadri  December 31, 2011
 
Oh great thanks before :)
 
 
  Pierre-Noël Rietsch  January 22
 
Lots of my pictures are have been placed in a "db" state, and it looks that they are not visible in the gallery. What exactly is the difference between the "ok" and the "db" state?
 
 
  Mikhail Ter  January 22
 
If the picture haven't passed moderation voting process, but we still need it in the database (new class picture, or just missing loco in the class, rare, unusual, etc..) the picture is accepted manually with "db" status.
 
 
  Marco Stoppini  February 20
 
I would like to know why my photo of FS E633 204 is so long awaiting moderation. What is the problem? thanks...
 
 
  Mikhail Ter  February 20
 
No problems, just still on the moderation voting process. Please use "report" button to contact team about specific picture, this topic is for requesting new features. Thank you.
 
 
  Spotting Limburg  March 12
 
What about an extra field which can be used for defining the start and end point of the photographed train. Very useful for passenger trains as well as known block trains or intermodals to plot there routes continentally.
 
 
  Mikhail Ter  March 12
 
This will be very interesting. I think it must be a new "train" or "route" item (like class or location) with route, timetable and pictures that can be assigned with this route. It's in the planning state we need somebody who can help to manage this feature. Maybe you? :)
 
 
  Spotting Limburg  March 12
 
Sure, no problem. Although I can't code it. X-)
 
 
  harrisonjh  April 11
 
Hello Mikhail - A "re-upload" feature would be great for replacing existing images in the DB with improved versions of same. Re-uploads would be checked and approved, or not, by the moderators.

Regards - Joe Harrison
 
 
  Mikhail Ter  April 11
 
Hello. Yes, I'm fully agree with you - we really need this feature. I'm thinking about the implementation.
