		<description>More problems: photos which were marked as Private but visible to friends and/or family appear in the photo list when viewed by a friend or family, but clicking on them to get to the photo page returns a 404 error.

Also, it is not possible to easily see or change the role of a person in the social circle (i.e. see if it's just a contact or a friend or family, or change it a posteriori): the only way is to remove them and then readd them.</description>

		<description>Uhm, something wrong happened as I was uploading photos: I had about 59% of my monthly bandwidth used, and I set to upload a bunch of photos (7 photos totalling less than 13 megabytes) with privacy set to Private (Family and Friends allowed).

When the upload was finished, my bandwidth was reduced (83% consumed) but only &lt;i&gt;one&lt;/i&gt; of those photo appeared in the photo list: http://beta.zooomr.com/photos/oblomov/162294

However, I get an error when trying to display it (

Uh-Oh, Zooomr Experienced an Error
It looks like something didn't quite go right. If you care to help out, please kindly report this incident to our Feedback Team.

Thank-You!

) and my friends can't see it in the list at all.</description>

		<description>Dada,

Thanks for the tip! I've changed my display name and will try it out. What I did in the meantime was to assign a weird tag to all my photos so I can use a proxy tag in place of "owner". Problem is all my tags have to be "match all of" or it won't work.</description>

		<description>I think the lightmap problem is a more general issue. I geotagged many pictures in the same place (&lt;a href="http://beta.zooomr.com/smartsets/michelinux/2057" rel="nofollow"&gt;all the pictures in this set&lt;/a&gt;) but when I look at geotag it says I only tagged 5 pictures plus the one I selected (try to click on lightmap for a picture!).
Bugzilla! Bugzilla!</description>

		<description>Two questions about the LightMap:

1. could you please provide a "Close" button :)

2. sometimes the photo locations are somewhat off. Example: consider picture

http://beta.zooomr.com/photos/oblomov/159046

and open it in the LightMap. At the default zoom level, it get stacked with other five photos: while three of these are really in the same location, the other two are not. However, it may be assumed that at the given zoom level it's more efficient to stack them.

Now zoom in by a single clic (on the plus). Now, the distance between the photo and the ones in a separate location is almost half of the displayed map: the photo is in the middle of the map, the extra ones are instead much closer to the lower border. However, the 6 pictures are still stacked in a single balloon. 

And if you zoom by one more level (enough to isolate the picture) and then shift the map up so that  "via Petraro" (where the extra pictures are) shows at the bottom, they get stacked &lt;i&gt;again&lt;/i&gt;, even though they are at opposite borders of the map.

It looks like the 'stacking' algorithm is a little too aggressive.




Separate problem: a friend of mine seems to be having problems GeoTagging maps correctly. I'm not sure if this is a problem with the LightMap being slightly off (I think I've seen it being slightly off in IE? She's using Firefox though) or her moving the map without realizing or anything like that, though (I'm helping her online so I don't actually see what she's doing).</description>

		<description>WJ, I had the same problem with smart tags. I've found a work-around: I see in your URL your 'name' 18068@Z01, I had a 'name' like that, before the name was my gmail login, because I used to log in via GMAIL. It's a good thing they've changed the gmail login in the URL for something anonymous.
Now here's the workaround that worked fine for me:

Go to the 'Your account' section. there you can change your URL. Change it to something else (without the numbers and @-signs eg your display name 'trielementz'). Then go to your smartsets again and change the name....</description>

		<description>Thanks for pointing this out Michele.  Yes we are aware of that and will fix that.  As soon as we launch ZGrooops we will set up two seperate forums.  One for people to report bugs and one for people to give us feature ideas for development.

Thanks,
