Today, James Bailey's profile is missing.
An incorrect photo is still listed. Bill Bailey alternates a photo of Marvin Bailey ( red ) with the correct photo. My time is very limited, so I am not inclined to spend any more time working on this site until I know that the data I enter can be depended upon.

First, please be sure to sign in properly when you visit HMF - note your latest comments are listed under "anonymous". When you visit HMF, your guest id appears in the upper right. If it shows you as anonymous then you need to sign in. You should not have to sign in every visit unless you have explicitly turned off HMF's "auto-sign in" feature or security software on your PC is blocking "cookies".
We do not understand your comment about Mr. Bailey's "profile" missing. The Profile tab of his listing includes different information - specifically what information do you feel is missing .
The photos of Mr. Bailey's roses you submitted were manually moved to the appropriate rose pages so they could be best and most accurately featured. We used the comments you posted in each photo to know which photo belonged to which rose listing.
Please note for the two photos you have referenced your photo comments indicate they are both photos of 'Rosa Bill Bailey'. If you care to correct your photo comments we will be happy to move the photo in error.

This will be my last response. I submitted photos correctly. They appeared on the site as I submitted them. I sent the link to several folks who also viewed the photos as I had submitted them. They were correct at that time. There is now an error which has apparently been made on your end, since all was correct when I uploaded it. There had been a lot of "moving around", and not by me.
Unfortunately, I don't have time available to work out these problems.
Do not send me any further messages.

We are sorry you are having difficulty using HelpMeFind and we would be happy to help you resolve these issues. We apologize if it was not made clear that individual plant photos should be uploaded to the appropriate plant listing and HMF would automatically link them the the breeder's listing. The upload form for the breeder listing does display a well highlighted message indicating it is intended for photos of the breeder only.
As such, your photos were not uploaded in accordance with HMF procedures but we were happy to make the corrections for you in addition to making a software change so providing a link to Mr. Bailey's listing would include all your photos as you desired.
The only problem left to work out would be for you to correct your original photo comments of the photo you indicated was of 'Rosa Bill Bailey' but is instead 'Marvin Bailey'. We would be happy to move that photo to the correct rose listing too. We believe that should resolve all of your issues with your photos.
Please understand the reason for having you upload the rose photos to the appropriate rose listing is to allow us to establish the computer link between the rose listing and your photo of that rose. Without that link, the individual rose listings would be missing your photos and site guests would only see your photos if they happened to visit Mr. Bailey's breeder listing. When the photos are uploaded using the correct HMF procedure you get the maximum exposure as they are featured on both Mr. Bailey's listing and the individual rose pages. Our efforts from the beginning were for your benefit.

Photos which I uploaded to Breeder James Bailey appear to be missing?
Thanks, Carol Green

Your photos were moved to the appropriate plant pages of James Bailey's roses. Go to your member page and click on the Photos tab to view all your photos and you'll see them all.

Sorry for the confusion. However, the reason I posted the photos under breeder James Bailey was to promote his roses. I do not necessarily want them posted on my account. I plan to be adding to them in the future, as well as adding the appropriate information to the rose pages.
I might post roses under my account in the future, but they would be of my garden or for other purposes. If they can be posted both places I guess that is OK. However, the most appropriate location would seem to be under the breeder name.
I especially liked the fact that I could send folks a link to Jim's breeder page and they would see all of his rose photos at the same location.
Thanks!

Individual plant photos should be uploaded to the appropriate plant pages and breeder page photos should be photos of the breeder himself. This works out the best for several reasons.
If you upload your photos to the breeder listing instead of the individual plant page then site guests wont know what the plant looks like when they visit the specific plant page. They would have to know to go to his breeder listing and then flip through the photos for the right one. Uploading to the plant page provides the most exposure and form a definitive link between the rose and the photo(s).
You can have your photo show up on the appropriate plant page AND the breeder's Photo tab by using the "Courtesy of" option on the photo upload form. As you are listed as an administrator for his breeder listing you will find you can change the "courtesy of" option to his breeder listing instead of your member account. Doing this will achieve exactly what you're looking for.
The photos tab of your member page lists all the photos you have uploaded - of anything. You will find you also have a "member" photo upload where you can upload a photo of yourself. In addition, you have a member "garden" tab where you can list the plants you have in your garden and upload and photos of your overall garden.

This breeder does not own a digital camera and does not plan to purchase one. Any photos of his roses will likely come from me for some time. When I originally uploaded all of them they were marked Photo coutesy of and appeared both as a group or individually on his Breeders page. I am not clear on what caused the change, since I have not done any editing, other than adding information to one rose page with the assistance of Lyn G.
Can the photos I originally loaded to his breeders page be replaced there the same way they were removed?
I plan to begin adding information to the rose pages tonight.
Best Regards

Yes, we understood Mr. Bailey will not be taking his own photos. Selecting him as the "courtesy of" option was a suggestion to have your photos appear on his listing's Photo tab but that will not be necessary now.
We have made a modification and your photos will now be included in all three places. On the the Photo tab of Mr. Bailey's listing, on the individual plant page's Photo tab and on your member page's Photo tab.
Going forward, please be sure to upload your photos of individual roses to the appropriate rose page - photos of Mr. Bailey's roses will be included on his listing also.

Wonderful photos, thanks.
Some of them much smaller than others; are the smaller ones that size to begin with. We just want to be sure HMF's photo upload and resizing processing is working properly.

This is the first time I have posted. All photos are about the same size and should have posted that way. I will make changes if necessary.
Thanks for the comments.

Could you email us the last two photos you uploaded - photo ids 165840 & 165841. We want to see why one is so much larger that the other. We are concerned there may be a software problem on our end.
Also, we see you are uploading your plant photos to the breeder page instead to the individual plant pages - is there a reason for this ? They are such nice photos it's a shame they will only be found when someone visits that breeder listing.

I have sent the subject photos.
The purpose of adding the photos is to gain recognition for this breeder's work. Will add to other areas of the site if appropriate.
I will be working with Lyn on this.
Thanks,
Carol

Please put the name of these roses of which you have posted photos someplace where they can be found. Right now the phots are coming up under the breeder's name, but there is no info as to what the name of the rose cultivar is.

Evidently these are some of Mr. Bailey's roses which have not been featured anywhere before. Our administrative volunteer Lyn is working with this individual to add these roses to the database and once they're added we'll reassign the photos accordingly.
We invite other breeders or their representative(s) to do the same.

Thanks for your message. I have added the names to each rose photo and will be working on the rose pages. I am new at using HMF so have to learn the ropes.
