I would like to invite friends/email friends to view photos however, when I try this I automatically get your options of email service providers, I use Yahoo and this is not listed? when I choose other email provider it selects g-mail which I dont have an account for. I feel like Im being run in circle, hopefully im just missing something simple, how do I link my yahoo email account to your service? many thanks ***************** [From Susan - Customer Support] Unfortunately, due to some changes with Yahoo's email service, it is no longer compatible with our automatic email forwarding functionality. One thing you can do is open your Yahoo email account, start a new email, and simply copy and paste the URL link to your DropShots site or a specific photo/video, date, month, or even album into the body of the email.

Especailly you include album as one of the features. I wonder if there is a glitch or not that in vedio mode, the full screen expansion is not working. ***************** [From Susan - Customer Support] We're glad that you're enjoying using our site!

We have polled them individually. For the rest of us "old-timers", it will be take a little time to get familiar – that is understandable." What about those of us "old-timers" who loved it before??? You sure as heck didn't poll US individually! Once again, I'm very disappointed with what has happened to DropShots. I loved the calendar layout with one photo per day and the ability to view by year/month/week/day. It was simple and intuitive and easy to navigate. It was clean and uncluttered to look at, and I want it back! Flikr offers the calendar-view, but they don't do video (yet) and I don't really necessarily want all of my stuff out there for the world to see -- but if y'all can't give me back my calendar-view, I guess I don't really have many other options left....

I did notice the video now seems shakey. Does this have to do with the new larger resolution? I love the new set up. I did notice the video now seems shakey.

I am trying to be patient as changes are made! Your excellent communication and willingness to work with your customers has helped me stick with it! I would like to second the comment regarding 2 video viewing options. Reloading all of my videos is going to take a long time. I think you mentioned working on a possible fix for this (please keep us posted on this development, I don't want to begin reloading if it won't be needed) A few features I really miss: -Title for the days events. I do caption photos, but a main title was really a nice feature, especially for a quick glance! -Calendar view. I really liked the layout, could we have the option to select that view if we prefer it? -The caption accompanying the photo when a comment is added! I realize all of these have been mentioned before, but if a number of us miss the same features, maybe they can be returned! Thank you for all of your hard work and most of all thank you for keeping families in touch when distance keeps us apart!

I know some glitches will have to be worked out. Still having trouble on uploading videos with the new dropbox. Wondering if there is a way to stop IE from opening up dropshots each time a photo is uploaded. I use firefox so IE opening up is just an inconvenience. Thanks. I am happy with the new look.
