Need help sorting out how to use 23? Or have you discovered one of those nasty bugs?

photo data

helen birch   April 30, 2013, 08:30 AM

I used to find the photo data (lower right column) really useful - for re-locating images, reviewing ideas, and finding information about others' camera settings etc. All of that data has gone. Why?
The 'more about this photo' link doesn't really give me much data at all.
Are there settings (I can't find) to revert to this previously valuable available info'?

Hi Helen,

Unfortunately we found that the database query needed to read out that information was quite expensive (that's another way of saying slow...) -- and was basically causing the rest of the site to become slower. So there's a good reason why it was cleared from the page. The exif data and more is still available on the "more info" page though -- for example http://www.23hq.com/steffen/photo/10688607/meta.

The exif data isn't working on my more recent photos: http://www.23hq.com/nellyb/photo/11111444/meta
but is (with the same camera) on earlier ones:
http://www.23hq.com/nellyb/photo/8242596/meta
why might this be?

Hi Helen,

I've just had a quick look at the information in the uploaded photo -- and in fact none of the information we display on those list are available in the original for http://www.23hq.com/nellyb/photo/11111444 (they are for the other photo you posted). Can it be that the info was stripped in post-processing?

Steffen
