RickW Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 ...is the view counter. I decided to try coming back to post some images from a recent trip. According to the number next to the eyeball in the Gallery view, they have gotten zero views. Yet friends have emailed me many comments. Sheesh. C'mon, Greg, get this place working!

G-P Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Gallery views accrue nightly - its not an immediate thing so if you are watching the counter and clicking back and forth you won't see those clicks counted until the following day.

RickW Posted December 17, 2017 Author Share Posted December 17, 2017 How about photos posted TWO WEEKS ago?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-P Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 I see you have uploaded 4 photos recently. Haleakala Observatories | Photo.net - uploaded on 12/18 and it has 9 views Uphill | Photo.net - uploaded on 12/13 and has 7 views Maui Sunset, with Storm | Photo.net - uploaded on 12/11 and it has 2 views Maui Sunset | Photo.net - uploaded on 12/9 and has 8 views Seems the view counter is working to me, are you seeing something different?

RickW Posted December 18, 2017 Author Share Posted December 18, 2017 Greg, when I posted the message there were zero views for the most recent 5 photos. Something is working a little better. I still don't think the view counts are accurate, though, because I have heard from more people than 4 or 5 about each of my Maui photos.

paul ron Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 what ive noticed about low view counts here, there are a few people that post a dozen pictures at a time from same shoot which pushes mine to the bottom of the page. i dont understand why they do that. putting up a dozen lousey pix when one excelent photo is more than enough and its a better show of quality that says more for the photographer. if you cant do it with 1, putting up 12 doesnt make up for it. if you want to have fun, post in no words... The more you say, the less people listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I don’t, I think a lot of people use the site as a proofing/display platform, that is, if they take pics of someone, they may very well post dozens of similar-looking shots for the person they’ve shot to choose their favorite. So, they’re not really putting together a finished or refined portfolio as much as using PN for personal storage or proof presentation purposes. We didn't need dialogue. We had faces!

paul ron Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Is that what the "categories" and a portfolio are supposed to be used for? There are specific site for that like drop box to name one. Knowing that, I just may drop my pay proof service n start using PN as a drop box site for my shoots. I thought posting work in a portfolio was to show off your best quality photos. Thanks for clearing that up. The more you say, the less people listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickW Posted January 9, 2018 Author Share Posted January 9, 2018 I see you have uploaded 4 photos recently.

Greg, the two winter shots I posted in the last couple of weeks have ZERO reported views, even though I have gotten a dozen email comments on each (including several from photo.net members). I think it may be related to a more recent (and unanswered) question: Why does a photo I post sometimes have a black surrounding screen and a cloudfront image address, and sometimes the (desired) grey surrounding and a photo.net image address?
