New member portal

Ken Wang

A new member portal has been added to the site. This new portal is rewritten from scratch, utilizing latest technologies.

For best experience, please use newer browers, such as recent versions of Chrome, Microsoft Edge (new chromium based), Firefox and Safari. Internet explorer is NOT supported.

This is still a work-in-progress, new features will be added in the future.

If you find any bug, or have any suggestion, please join this discussion or start a new one.

For photographers who upload photos without an account, it is time to create one, then use new member portal for uploading, it's easier and more-friendly and .

The new member portal looks nice but lacks some features, that I particularly love about the present airport-data.com member section.
These are

information about average views of photos selected, either all my photos or selected photos as result of a search.
information about views of every photo.
possibility to jump to a specific page at the top of the display.
possibility to sort photos according to different criteria.
preview of individual photo.
I could not find a possibility to adjust the number of photos displayed on one page in the new member portal.
I would like to know, if these features are going to be added or if they are omitted on purpose (which would be a very sad development.
Will the current member section be discontinued or will both variants be offered?

best regards

Hi Ingo,

Thanks a lot for the feedback.

First 4 functions are added.
Click on the thubmail to preview photo. There was a bug, fixed.
In the pagination at bottom (and also top now), you can choose number of photos to show on one page.

If you don't see any change, please refresh the page.

Obviously it's not omitted on purpose. I missed those functions you pointed out.

The old member section will be around for a while, but my plan is to close it eventually, when the new member portal has all the functions and runs ok.

Hi Ken, has the airport upload been fixed? I know it was broken for a long time, wasn't sure if this was one of the changes you added to this. Love the updates, appreciate you freshening up the site.

Ken Wang

Yes airport photo upload in old member section was fixed in September.

Roberto Cassar

Really happy with the new updates being done especially the Workshop function!!

I am trying to upload MM81577 from workshop but system is returning Server Error. Obtain Lock Failed.

MM81577 is created just a few minutes ago.

Ken Wang

Wait for 2 minutes and try again. The lock will remove itself after 2 min.

If you keep getting same lock error, then there must be some other issue causing the error.

Noticing an issue. I used to be able to do an airport search under the aircraft search section and that would give me all recent pictures from airports I follow. For example under under aircraft, I post OSH or KOSH to see most recent posts from Oshkosh. Most recent I am getting are pictures uploaded back in August. I posted some Oshkosh pics a couple weeks back and they were showing up back then.

Tried to upload MM81577 through Workshop again , returned server error and photo disappeared from Workshop

Ken Wang

@Roberto Cassar please upload MM81577 photo into workshop, without moving to aircraft section, so I can take a look.

Thanks for looking into this,

I will attach what I am refering to - I did a search for KOSH under the Aircraft section. It seems nothing posted after 08/11/24 shows up now. It was working fine 2 weeks ago

Just added "slideshow" tool into new member portal. If you don't see it in menu, press "F5" to refresh page.

How do I move my folders around without sticking them inside another folder. See attached for examples. My A380 is located above the A300. I want to move it below the A350-1000 but it only seems like I will end up sticking it inside the A350-1000 folder or in the ATR folder, I don't see any space where you can move in between - unless I am missing something. At one time you had those arrows where you could move 1 or 5 spaces at a time, which was a long and tedious process if you had a huge list of types. This seems like it could be more convenient, but doesn't seem to be allowing me to move to a new location.

When you drag a folder and move over a folder, the hoved-over folder is highlighted with orange box, that means you'll move dragged folder INTO it. In the following picture, folder "2023" will be moved INTO "2024".

If you hover over the gap between 2 folders, you'll see a line, which means you'll move dragged folder BETWEEN those 2 folders. . In the following picture, folder "2023" will be moved between "2008" and "2024".

Found another thing I have a question on - sorry to keep buggin ya...

How do I do a mass move of aircraft to a folder? What I like to do is post all my pictures then group them under a name in the description and then move them to a folder. I will show an example of the F-16C. For those wondering what the "zx, zw" etc in my descriptions are - it has to do with how I will group them in my various folders.

When I do a search on F-16C zx, it pulls up all my F-16Cs. I don't see any way to move all of them at once into my F-16C folder, it looks as if I can only do one at a time (which will be a very long an tedious process. For me it is quicker to post all my pictures, then spend a week later on moving them all into their folders by how I code them - which I could do in the past.

The best way to organize multiple photos is to use Gallery tool, not Airport/Aircraft photo tool.

In your example, all your newly uploaded photos are in Gallery Root. From there, do a search ('zw' in your example), then you can drag-drop each photo from right size into a folder. You have to drag-drop one by one though. There's no multiple selection.

You can use the Gallery Folder selection function in Airport/Aircraft photo tool for one-off changes.

Thanks for explaining. Ok this reminds me of running a discord server and how we move channels around. I should have figured it out. This might be difficult for some members to try to adjust, but once you get the hang of it it sure beats being only able to move something 5 spaces at a time like we had to before. I have some groupings that have over 100 folders under them, so this will save a lot of time.

I must be doing something wrong. I was trying this yesterday actually. I have several that say OSH 2024 zx. When I do OSH 2024 zx only 1 picture shows up. I have it set to show 10 per page.
