The Zeiss User Forums are powered by vBulletin and feature additional plugins to expand the user experience. Some of our features:
Under the QLINKS tab in the menu, you will find an option to upload pictures, which can be organized into albums. Albums can be designated as public or private (visible only to contacts).
Member photos can be submitted to "Social Groups", which are also accessible via the QLINKS tab. I've created some groups (Portrait, Landscape, etc) to get things started, but members can create their own groups as well.
Under "Blogs" on the QLINKS menu, members have an option to post blogs or view blogs by other members. These blogs are really simple to use and hosted here at the Zeiss User Forums.
Clicking on the REVIEWS tab will take you to an area of the site designed for user reviews of Zeiss cameras and lenses. Non-Zeiss cameras and lenses can also be reviewed there, though given the scope of the Zeiss User Forums, we ask that you only review non-Zeiss lenses which can be used with Zeiss cameras or non-Zeiss cameras which can be used with Zeiss lenses. I've pre-populated the reviews section with current Zeiss and CV lenses for review. Members can post reviews on these lenses or upload additional products for review (ie, create a listing for a camera or lens).
Members can buy, sell, or trade photography-related items in our Member Buy, Sell & Trade (http://ziforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=13) forum. In addition, members can link to outside auction listings (eg, eBay) in the Outside Auctions and Commercial Vendor Listings (http://ziforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=14) forum. Both forums have iTrader software installed to allow members to give one another feedback (viewable by all) after transactions in the Marketplace.
