Wish List

I think it would be great to be able to collect other people's pictures that you like in

folders. We have a version of this in our highest rated images, but I think it would be great

to have folders for particular genres and that sort of thing. People could look at other

people's folders for interesting insights into their likes and the user could create a catalog

of particular types of images. I just saw a wonderful image of a smiling frog in a person's

hand today, I would like to put that in a folder called 'humorous' Since I hate to rate

anonymously, there is no way to "keep it". I have no idea how hard this would be though.

Anyone else interested in this idea?

Oh, and while I'm wishing, if you insist on anonymous ratings, could you please, please,

please make it so we can shut ratings off an image without asking for a critique? I would

like to upload a group of images and I don't want to bother people with dozens of critique

requests when all I'm looking for is protection from anonymous ratings.

Sounds interesting, and from a database point of view shouldn't be too hard to knock up. However I'd guess that as the functionality half exists already in top rated photos and the list of gallery comments it may only get low priority in the development to-do list.

Max, isnt there already a comments only section? I could be wrong but I thought I read there was. I havent found it yet- but that doesnt mean it doesnt exist.

Ken, what Max means is that you cannot access critique/comments-only for a photo without first requesting critique for it, which means a limit of four in a 24-hour period. however, I don't see how requesting a critique is a bother to others? anyway, here is the link to find these photos: <a href="http://www.photo.net/bboard/forum?rating_type=photocritique&topic_id=1481&subscriber_p=1&critique_p=1" >Newest Critique Requests (Subscribers' Critique Only)</a>

Peggy, it is a bother to others because you are "requesting a critique" when you aren't

really requesting a critique. If I want repost photos that have previously been in my

folders but were pulled I certainly don't want to ask people to recritique them. That's just

one example.

Steve's wish list. Go back to the old image view and folder view UI layout and design. I hate the new design where you have to scroll down (on 1024x768 monitor) to view links to click to view details, options and critiques. I very much prefer the side by side vertical panes then the current design, which requires the user to scroll and click through at least 3 times more on average to view a single image.
