The New Chat :-)

More Photo Stuff

Photoalbum Restrictions

We finished the page where you can set restrictions on your photoalbum, have a look and tell me what you think:

Please tell me if its understandable with the different settings.
And yes mmgoodlooking, we will make so navis can see these restrictions.


Rating of Photos

We also made the photo rating. I have decided that you can only get photos of yourself rated. There is not much fun rating a pic of a dog or a BMW or a banana. So when a user submits a photo for rating, he will see this popup. Actually the same goes for PhotoChat pics and Profile pics.

Navigator Photo Approval

This means that navigators have 4 jobs when it comes to photos.


  1. Profile Photos. These must be a real photo of the chatter and the navigator can help the user flip/cut/crop/edit the photo in order to make it fit correctly, or simply reject the photo if its not good enough or fake etc.
  2. PhotoChat Photos. Same as today, must be a photo of yourself and navis can crop/cut and approve/reject.
  3. Rated Photos. All the navigator has to do here is to approve or reject them, and like the two others this must also be a photo of the user.
  4. Uploaded Photos. The user can upload eny kinds of photos. All photos will be screened by the navis and deleted if inappropiate.

Nude or Not?
To answer the question from mmjustcooking (hehe), then this is a nude photo, and I think adults should be allowed to use these kinds of photos in their private restricted albums.

I have seen far worse on 50 Cent, Justin and Nelly's music videos on MTV


Supreme Upload Technoligy!
When you work with a team of total geniouses, they sometimes come up with some exceptional ideas. This time we actually managed to make a system where you can upload multiple photos at once, without having to click and choose and click and choose... And the best thing - you dont need to download ANY java applett or active X to do this!!

Check this out!

And whats even better is that you can put names and descriptions on your photos while they are uploading, and you can even watch the progress as they uploads.

Pretty cool eh? :-)


Answers to Questions

xxPoohxx sure, everyone has a mobile phone these days, but if you wanted to cheat with your age, photo and information, would you really give us your mobile phone number? (in UK we can actually check and verify the number with the police if needed)

  • Hello DonTron first i`ll congratuilation for u new project.
    i realy think, that´s a new standard of chat, but :-) for nudes or not, in my oppinion ´must clear rules to see, so it´s not alloud to ask the chatter if one pic. alloud for childs or not....
    If realy every pic. must be sign up by a Navi, the Navi also have to tell for what age it´s alloud to see or not.

  • A quote from tigerbear on previous days comments " adult content would be for each country to decide for themselves."
    So moving on :D im starting to get a bit worried here that maybe the album is becoming a bit too complicated for a lot of chatters.
    Too many functions and most of them get lost.

  • About Photoalbum Restrictions, i think it would be useful to add a "None" option to allow users don't show their Photoalbum to noone if they want to do that.
    The rest of settings are great and understable ones.

  • I disagree with the comment about ratings I'm afraid - it's just a bit of fun and sites like HotOrNot.com have been around for years and years and still get thousands of new uers a day so I don't think it will harm the chat to have a rating system.

    RE: Adult Pictures - On UK Chat we do currently ban nipples and excessive pubic hair and of course, if something is still see through. however, those two pictures that you posted on the blog would not be removed as neither of these things are showing.

    I do think it's important to have each country decide on their own rules because it's more relaxed in some countries than it is in the UK.

  • Hey - sex sells! If you really want to get a huge number of users, I think it is really neccessary that you allow soft or even hard porn pictures in a special area in the chat. Would it not be possible to give access to this area (or to special marked photos) to users only if they have varified their age by sending a copy of their passport by fax? So their age could be checked with a security of 100 %. Don't you agree?
