Photo category

10:32 pm

We’ve just added a new category to uyB - specifically for photos.

Any photos on flickr tagged “upyerbrum” will automatically go into it from now on - and while we’re at it could we (very politely) ask that since these are automatically added it would be good if you could make sure the images have a title in flickr when you tag, otherwise it makes the upyerbrum page look a little bare.

Facebook application

5:50 pm

For those of you caught up in the whole facebook phenomenon, you might be interested in our upyerbrum app. At the moment it acts in a similar way to our badge, putting the top five stories on your profile page, but we’ll work on making it a bit more facebooky and interactive.

Add any feature request of comment here.

Images now on upyerBrum

9:14 am

You can now use < img > tags in upyerBrum descriptions - which means that if you submit a flickr pic you can show a tiny thumbnail for people to look at. Images tagged ‘upyerbrum’ on flickr will automatically appear with thumbnials.
