Modern Browser Support

Modern Browsers (supporting current standards) allow to select multiple files, resize images before uploading them and drag & drop of files. Older Browers can still use legacy mode upload. iOS may not even support long standing standards for file upload.

Membership

Fan-profiles with text and images can be created. Fans can collect other members in Idol lists or favorites or collect images in a lightbox as well as participate in the forum.

Hidden profiles

Hidden profiles are for our internal use. Hidden profile can be viewed by staff members only and are intended for possible hiring or just as contact database.

Non-public profiles

Want to be part of www.koolkarz.com? Want to model, but don't want everyone staring at you? Now you can. We now offer non-public profiles. Such a profile is visible to our members and those you give an access key to only. You can manage some access keys and revoke access if it is no longer needed.

Personal Light Box

My personal Light Box lets you create a thumbnail page from the public photos. As photographer you can group the photos you took and may be do some cross linking on your profile. You can use this to collect your personal favorite photos or do whatever you can imagine. (For more info click on Light Box Info)

Thumbnails will disapear when the profile owner deletes corresponding photos.

Quick Search

Quick search is a little entry field in the upper left of the website and it allows everyone to locate members quickly. Enter a member id to directly jump to that member's profile. Enter one or some initial characters like "an" and you will see a list of all members where the User Name starts with "an". If your search pattern matches only one entry that profile will be shown. Alternatively you can enter a email address to locate a member. The email address must be entered completely. This is to protect the privacy of our members.

Member Gallery

This is a Thumbnail index of all members or members which match the current settings. Use this to locate members by their avatar. Try the powerful tool to sort (order by) or filter (search) by several criterions. When searching, a pattern can have wildcards matching one "_" or multiple "%" characters. Search for Gender F to see all female members or search for ProfileType M for models or P for photographers. Countries are expressed by there Internet abbreviations, which are us=USA, ca=Canada,de=Germany and so forth.

Friends, Colleagues and Favorites

You can establish these relationships to organize relationships to other members and control, what information they can view. Favorite is not a mutual relationship, you just can select another member as such. Friend or Colleague relationship is mutual and bidirectional, it must be requested from the other member. All three types give you a thumbnail gallery for the organization and some management tools. As an extra you can rank each member for sorting and make private annotations on each member, which will help you to keep additional information. Friends are organized in a public list and colleagues are known to the colleagues only. Friends and colleague are allowed to make comments on your profile and they have access to your private photo galleries. In addition, colleagues can view some more information about you.

We see Friends and Colleagues as business relationship, but if you like to make it more personal, its up to you. Some people make friends only to get their faces in other profiles.

Idols and Fans

Idols are people you like. You can gather these in a list of Idols. This makes you appear in that persons list of Fans. The Annotation you make will be visible to the person you like in their Fan list. Note that Annotation in other list are private.
