Why no one can view your photos…
Written by Christian on May 1, 2008 – 2:06 pm -Hi girls!
Christian here, mostly-silent programmer of Hotel Bliss.
I have received a couple of reports that girls aren’t able to view other girl’s photos. After looking through the code numerous times and staring blankly at the raw data, trying to understand where I had gone wrong, I began to realize that it was not a coding error at all.
It was simply an aspect/feature of the photo area that I had not made very clear. I am here to clarify it so you can start showing people your photos:
When you upload a photo, it is viewable by you, but no one else. To make your photo viewable by anyone at all, you need to set the “permissions” for the photo. You can do this by visiting your photos control panel, finding the photo you would like to make available to be viewed, and clicking the “permissions” option underneath the photo.
From this screen, you will be able to make it viewable by everyone, or just select users.
So now you know! I apologize for not making this clear from the get-go, and I am making steps to make the process more intuitive for future users.
Thanks for reading! If you continue to experience issues, please leave a comment/send me a message from inside the hotel at my profile: http://hotel.blisswarrior.com/christian

Christian,
Thank you, that is helpful but even when I go to my photos it shows nothing. I know I uploaded at least 3. Even the one I see for my main photo isn’t there to “edit”. What am I doing wrong?>
@lacivia - What you have mentioned in your comment may be revealed as another confusing part of the Hotel that must be explained/remedied.
There are (as it currently stands) two different areas to upload photos:
There is the “profile photos” area which is basically just a gallery provided for you, to be able to choose your default photo (to be shown on your smaller “icon” listing in the “browse” and other areas of the site).
There is also the plain old “photos” area which is accessible from the “add/edit photos” button on your main control page. This area is what people will view if they click the “view photos” button in your penthouse. These are the photos that can be commented on, etc.
Hopefully this clarifies things for you!
