What's the point of gallery?

JustARando:
Okay, might be a dumb question, but what's the point of gallery? Just noticed that I now have gallery access, but, honestly I don't get the point except for the homepage thing.

I've always been able to attach images and view images in attachments. The gallery posts don't seem to be part of unread/replies-so there's barely any engagement. And most of the photos don't have context. So, overall find it an odd unengaging part of the forum. Am I missing something?

DrgHybrid:
There is a thread that talks about this topic. And the important of nude photos to naturism.

https://internationalyn.org/forum/index.php/topic,17855.0.html

Nude photos for us can mean multiple things for many different people. I highly suggest reading that post there (all 6 pages!) so that you can get a feel what it means coming from your fellow members.

But for others too, it's a place that they can see the different people of the world in different settings. A safe place, if you will. On top of that, as you noticed from just getting access there, is that's a protected area too. So, whereas you might be comfortable posting nudes anywhere on the forum, others might not so they could strictly post them there if they wished and have a feeling of comfort that "JustaRando" (lol, sorry) might not see them.

It means different things for different people. And, as long as people follow by the naturist rules of posting nudes and not as erotic images, then they are always welcomed to post them.

I suppose its so people who want to participate in this monthly best photos event to have somewhere where to upload the photos and so we can rate them.

Also if you have done anything interesting and you want to share it

Can be a lot of things and I personally can't upload anything in normal parts of the forum I and I think it's cuz I'm on mobile or the photo resolution is too big?

I don't know how it works in the gallery but I guess it's made specially to upload photos

Attachments only work on desktop I think.
