Getting in touch with other 365'ers

June 13th, 2012
Sometime i want to reach out to certain 365'ers but is there a way to do it where others won't see it? I feel like asking questions about how to do certain photos but don't want to have a whole conversation in the comment boxes under a photo.

I don't think there is a way here other than posting my email but i dont want to do that either.

@jsilver - I don't think there is a way which is a huge shame because there has been time where I have wanted to do that also. Perhaps that is something that will be added in the future.

@jsilver The usual method is to post your email address on a older photo, and then to delete the comment so it isn't viewable any more. Or do it via Flickr if you both have accounts on there.

I think there should be some system of privet messages!

It would be good to have a PM facility :)

I agree. There are folks out there I would love to talk to.

@jsilver set up an account on gmail that you can use for photo purposes only i.e. silverphotos@gmail.com or jsilver365@gmail.com that way it is not your personal address and you do not have to worry about it that much.

I agree with Jase's method, or see if they have a FB or Flickr link in their info.

@brumbe That is what I did, created a gmail account that I posted on my profile. It would be nice to have a more straightforward way though.

I realize i can create a new email. I was just wondering if there was an option here that i was missing.

I just ask if they have facebook. face it most do.. lol..

An IM feature here would be ideal. Until then facebook friending seems to be the best option.

I have several 365 friends that are now fb friends. It is a good way to keep in touch, and to also see more photos than we can share here....

just create a new email address to use for that purpose, then after you've made contact, switch to your preferred email address.

I wish the same thing..a PM would be wonderful.

@jsilver I have networked with a lot of 365'rs on Facebook...a lot of times questions about photography happens via facebook messages etc..I am sure others probably even go as far as Skype

Jase's advice is the easiest way. Pick an older photo and leave your question/reach out there with your email address. I've been on this site for a year and a half and I've left my email address in several people's comments and never gone back in to remove it. I've never had a single problem, but now I have seven 365 friends who I email separate from this site.

It may sound strange but i do like that there's no PM here :-D)))) otherwise we would all chat there, and photos (and discussions threads) would be left word-less))

i thought the ace profiles had a message system ... then how do people know how to post topic as theme winner? well either way there should be an inbox on here i agree with that

twitter would be another venue and just a suggestion, how about a centralized shoutbox? (i know this would require additional resources to pull)

anyway, im happy with the actions on the comment section
