Yes. Click on the “Edit title” link that you see near the photo or video title, and an input box will appear. Enter your new title in the input box, and click the “Save” button. If you wish to cancel this operation, click on the “Cancel” button.
In addition, you can add title, description and tags to the photos and videos before uploading them. The title, description and tags that you add before uploading will apply to all the photos and videos that are going to be uploaded in that session.
Titles are shown in big font above your photos and videos. Good titles make your photos and videos look better! Not to mention that titles also make your photos searchable on Ikbis.
Tough question! The short answer for that is yes. If the title contains very offensive words, we will delete the title completely, and leave the photo or video untitled. You can re-title it again afterwards.
Words can be as offensive as photos and videos, so it is to the benefit of our Utopian Ikbis Community, that you are part of, to monitor titles, descriptions and tags ; )
Yes. Like you would do in titles, click on the “Edit description” link that you see near the photo or video description, and an input box will appear. Enter your new description in the input box, and click the “Save” button. If you wish to cancel this operation, click on the “Cancel” button.
In addition, you can add title, description and tags to the photos and videos before uploading them. The titles, description and tags that you add before uploading will apply to all the photos and videos that are going to be uploaded in that session.
Yes. When you run a search on Ikbis, Ikbis will search descriptions as well as titles. The search also includes tags, user profiles and countries.
Tough question! The short answer for that is yes. If the description contains very offensive words, we will delete the description completely, and leave the photo or video with no description! You can re-write your description again afterwards.

We were sad to see the first couple of weeks, when we launched Ikbis, that most of the videos and photos on Ikbis were not tagged. Since Ikbis is the first photo and video sharing service in the Arab World, we feel it is our role to take the initiative to encourage people to tag their photos and videos. So bottom line, please tag your photos and videos. It will make Ikbis more interesting. We want to make the biggest tag cloud on Earth! So let’s fire up our tags!
Yes. Click on the “Edit” link that you see near the tags of the photo and video you are viewing (shows only when you zoom into a photo or video!). An input box will appear. Enter your amendments to the tags, or add tags, in the input box, and click the “Save” button. If you wish to cancel this operation, click on the “Cancel” button.
In addition, you can add title, description and tags to the photos and videos before uploading them. The titles, description and tags that you add before uploading will apply to all the photos and videos that are going to be uploaded in that session.
Yes. When you search for “Photos and Videos”, “Photos only” and “Videos only”, tags are included in the search. Tags are so important to us that you can also search “tags” only.
The short answer for that is yes. If the tags contain very offensive words, we will delete only the tags that are offensive.
Words can be as offensive as photos and videos, so it is to the benefit of our Utopian Ikbis Community, that you are part of, to monitor titles, descriptions and tags ; )
Click the Tags link in the upper menu, while you are logged in, and you will see a simple tags cloud of all your tags.
Please notice that the albums section is very rudimentary at this stage. Enhancements are being applied on how users add photos and videos to albums. You will NOT lose any albums once we introduce the new functionality.
When you are on albums, click the “Create a new album” link. A dialogue will appear asking you to confirm whether you want to create a new album. Click “Yes” to proceed. Then you will be redirected to your new album, in edit mode.
When you are in the album, in edit mode (if not, click on the “Edit this album” link), you will see a blue bordered box. This box contains the photos and videos that are currently in your album. To add photos and videos to your album, click on the 
icon that you see on each photo or video. To remove a photo or video, click on the 
icon. You will see live interaction happening between the blue bordered box, and the list of photos and videos below it.
Yes, of course. While you are in the album, in edit mode, you can edit the title and description of the album in the same way you would do with photos and videos.
Yes, of course. Just in the same way you would share photos and videos. Just look for the “Share this album” link in the albums page, or the share by e-mail link on the sidebar.
Photos and videos that are set to be viewed by your contacts only, will be viewable by your contacts only. If a photo is set to private, it will not be viewable to anyone but you. However, when we send them the e-mail, it will contain the thumbnails of the photos and videos that are within the album, regardless of the permissions you set.
Archive pages are our way of organizing your photos and videos! They will come handy if you would like to view your photos and videos sorted by date. There are two kinds of dates; Date Uploaded and Date Taken.
The former one is quite easy, it is the date you uploaded your photos and videos on Ikbis. The latter one is the date you have taken the photos with your digital camera or mobile phone.
Well, we don’t always know. But digital photos usually contain this information, along with other data; like the camera model that was used. We import this information, and then make it useful in the Archive pages! This data is called meta-data, known as Exchangeable image file format (EXIF for short).
We also have top 10 lists in the Archive pages:
Top 10 viewed | Your all times top viewed photos and videos.
Top 10 rated | Your all times top rated photos and videos.
Top 10 taken memories | Your all times oldest photos and videos by date taken.
Top 10 uploaded oldies | Your all times oldest uploaded photos and videos.
