I agree. I think the same thing happens with the forum post.
I just posted one with a question about mmf and haven't received a response.
Surely someone knows about it.

Another suggestion, if I may.
Also think hard before you upload another Character cake. I mean, just how many Spiderman, Dora or Diego cakes can I look at? lol
Unless it's an unusual technique used.
I disagree with this. You could say the same thing about stacked cakes wit hcornelli lace, or sheet cakes wit hroses in the corners. There are only so many ideas. Why can't a person just be proud of their character cake and show it off to other fellow cake buddies?

I agree what does it matter if you don't want to look at then don't. Everyone of these cakes are somewhat the same and somewhat different.
I Really don't understand what the Big deal is.
But I'am NEW at this.
P.S. This comment has no attitude what so ever

Our wonderful JanH has posted links on becoming a Gallery Supporter ...THANKS JANH...YOU'RE A DOLL
As for becoming a moderator, Jackie and Heath makes that decision. The mods monitor the forums and try to keep the peace when threads become heated Make sure that threads are placed in the correct forum(s), answer pm's from the members, take care of reported posts and pictures...other duties as necessary to help Jackie and Heath maintain the forums.
Thanks so much stephanie for answering my question. This was one of those things I just always wanted to know.
And sorry it took so long for me to thank you. I wasn't receiving watch messages on this thread. I didn't even know it had gone beyond the first page .
Not just here... I remember the very first day though that I clicked agree, sign me up, about the 1 photo thing. And so I work to take the picture just right so that I don't have to add a second picture.
Why are we a generation of people who don't read the rules?! I LOVE RULES!! there I said it. I love them. And I love when everybody follows them.
As a totally random thought...
I was at this meeting a few weeks ago and the sign on the door said 'no saving seats' so we walked in and saw 3 seats and went to sit down and the lady int he 4th seat said, 'oh no, these seats are saved.' and so I said, the sign on the door says no saving seats... I thought she may smack me. But we sat down anyway and she got over it (at least she didn't smack me).

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY CHRISTI!!!!!!!
I read the first and last page of this post so I do not presume to know what went on on the pages in between.
I just want to say that I do agree with the rules of multiple pic uploads of the same cake. Please let it be a different view of the cake completely. I ran across a cake here about a week ago that must have had like 6 pics that were "centimeters" different than the previous one. It just gets boring seeing ALL the same pic. If I see multiples of the same cake that are not obviously different in any way, I don't click on them.
About having a gazillion of the same character cake, I do agree that we don't need to see a gazillion of the same character but let's take Thomas the Tank Engine for example. I have done one of them and there have been numerous Thomas cakes uploaded since mine and ALL of them feature a different technique (some one on this thread already posted something similiar to this. Sorry don't remember who right now. . I for one don't mind if there are different techniques. I am always looking for new techniques instead of the same ol' same ol'!
That said, I will say I am guilty of not rereading our rules here. I think I will do that just to make sure I don't step outside the bounds.

You're welcome! I'm approaching 10 years myself on May 30th and my DH isn't even going to be here for it! Oh well, I'll get over it! We've been together for 16 years.
Anyway, I hope it was a great anniversary for you.
Now back to our regularly scheduled thread........!

I just had to go check out mine too! LOL FYI... my eiffel tower cake has an explanation for why there are two!! Don't hate me!
Also.... I was just wondering if it is just me but I have several thumbs that aren't mine in my photos but when I click on them they take me to the actual photo..... anybody else have that? Do you see their thumbs when you look at "marthajo1's photos"? I have (that aren't mine) a gorgeous white cake, a snicker's cake, a topsy turvy bright colored one, and some tennis ball cupcakes..... Just wondering....

That's weird Martha! I don't see any of the cakes you mention in your photos. Are they in your favorites (or were they supposed to be?)...maybe there is a bug and they're showing up in the wrong folder.
Also think hard before you upload another Character cake. I mean, just how many Spiderman, Dora or Diego cakes can I look at? lol
Actually I don't give a hoot how many Thomas, Spiderman, Dora etc etc etc character pics get posted. As long as there's a gallery for them what difference does it make how many are posted! Those decorators are as proud of them as I am of my work. I love doing basket weave but who's going to complain about too much of that? Hmmm?
There are many many here who are far more talented decorators than I and some who haven't gotten to where I am. That's not bragging, just a simple fact. I may try for another ten years and never get any better than I am today, and yet there are some who have been at it for 1-2 stinkin years and do stuff I can only dream of doing someday. Oh well such is life.
I agree about multiple postings of the same cake, unless it's to show the front and back with very different detail. I appreciate when a person posts a full cake pic and then zooms in on the topper, for instance. Often times I will pm someone for more detail.
I look at hundreds more pics from your profiles and photo buttons in your posts than what I see on the home page. I have some of you on my Buddy list just so I can have easy access to your work/profile, without having to search so often. I lose myself in your galleries all the time because I read your post and click your buttons.
I've been making a bigger effort lately to click on the pics I see on the home page before I even go to the forum questions, because of complaints about pics not being commented on. I tried to go to the uncommented pics and found out I couldn't access them because I'm not a gallery supporter? So all those complaints and I can't even make the extra effort to help out? I've even e mailed gallery support members about becoming one and not gotten a response.
I've gone on too long and I apologize. I just see some or maybe a lot of these complaints as small stuff not worth the stress, as the saying goes. If everyone followed all the rules all the time this world wouldn't be what it is. But the fact is it is and not everyone IS going to do it right all the time. Life is too short to freak out about cake pics people. State the rules and then let the people check themselves. Otherwise use the report button and let the supervisors take care of it. It just ain't a real ball breaker in my opinion.

Sorry to be a party pooper. The rules simply say the same photo. Some cakes have many details that decorators spend lots of time working on. I think if the decorator would like to display their work in a way to showcase all the details they put in, they should be able to. In fact, I think some of the more seasoned pros on here should do the same for their cakes instead of just one photo, so their work and detail could be viewed and showcased more. It is, afterall, the simple details and little intricate details that truely make a cake fabulous. That is how the newbes can learn from the pros. Anyone can gawk at many of your awesome cakes, but to truely help others learn we need to see the details. That is my little soap box on the deal. I will say that I agree that photos of the essentially the same thing only 1 inch wider/narrower is unnecessary.

Here is a quote from the Cake Central Gallery Terms.
"Duplicate photos are not allowed.
You may upload 1 photo of a cake and choose the most appropriate photo gallery for that 1 photo. On occasion its OK to upload a different angle of your cake, but we prefer you only do that if it the other photo shows entirely different details of the cake, that are not visible at all in the other photo. Please try and limit any "different" angle photos to just 1, that way there are not more than 2 photos in the gallery of the 1 cake."
You click a button that says "I agree with the terms - Upload picture"
Does anyone read this????
I know this subject has been beat to death here in the forums but PLEASE! I have been browsing CC tonight for the first time in quite a while. The front page has been clogged several times with 2 and 3 pictures of ONE CAKE!
It is so unfair to everyone else uploading pictures and the viewers of the pictures and to the creators of this FREE website when the rules are totally disregarded.
Everytime I see this happen, I almost feel embarassed that our members are not respectful of the conditions of using this website. I also wonder how much database space would be freed up if everyone removed their duplicate pictures.
It just seems that we should be respectful of this site's creators and thankful that we can still use this site for free and help everyone by obeying a few simply rules.
Thanks for listening.
