WJT Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 Is it possible to upgrade the link for "Photos With More Than 10 Ratings". Please. We need that number to be "more than 20" ratings. Almost 80% of my portfolio has more than 10 ratings and is now showing up in that link. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gib Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 Congratulations, Walter on so many with more than 10 ratings, but the rest of the peasants like me, like it the way it is, thanks. : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajpn Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 I'll second that notion Wm! I can't seem to get more than 10 ratings on anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJT Posted October 20, 2003 Author Share Posted October 20, 2003 Now William, you are no peasant. I've seen your work posted from time to time, and also recently investigated your folder. A lot of your work is inexplicably underrated; especially in your "Autumn" and "New Cameras" folders. We need to increase your visibility somehow. And Anthony, I've seen your work in the past as well. Looking at your folder, most of your photographs are very highly rated; several are +40 ratings. So you are not being quite forthright here. If this request is a problem for others then, by all means, let the powers of PhotoNet relegate it to oblivion. This forum is to test the waters, so to say. Regards.

nikos Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 Perhaps there could be a 'photographer's top-rated' link that would display the 10 or 20 highest-rated photos from a given portfolio. This could be useful for some cases where people have a huge portfolio with many subfolders, and you only want to get a quick taste of the kind of work the photographer does. Of course, photographers who want to showcase a representative sample of their portfolio can always do that by creating a presentation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aardvarko Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 upper-end outliers would be best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james_oneill Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 The way that photos are put up for people to critique means (a) you have to ask and (b) recent requests with less than 10 scores get priority. In a lot of cases pictures go from 0 to 10 very quickly and stop. For some reason more of my pictures have had six scores than any other number, followed by 10 scores.

alethea_hollis Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 There is a definite problem with the rating system as it sends pictures with 10 ratings down the viewing order, and many including mine get "stuck" on ten. I have queried this in another thread some time ago and was told that I needed to increase m profile by rating and commenting, so that I would become more known and people would then look for my work. I am afraid although I have participated (and enjoy it) it has made little difference to the "getting stuck at 10". Whilst I have to accept it as part of the photo.net process, it is somewhat demotivating to have your pictures "stuck". I am not afraid to say I want my pictures to get more ratings/comments than they do, its what I am here for partly and to get more knowledge, experience, learning of course. I use "stuck" in inverted commas, because I was told they were not stuck, but in my view they certainly are. I would expect many many people are finding the same. Its up to all of us to keep on looking down the top pages for longer than we usually do, and give people lower down some good honest comments and or ratings. This will encourage people like me as well as get us out of the 10's and therefore available for more people to see our work. I know, I know, its all been said before, but as a relative newcomer I am saying it again as it is important to me. Alethea Alethea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swenson Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 I'll third that notion Wm! Other than two or three of my best sunsets/sunrises I have a hard time getting 10 ratings, even with images that have been view 2 or 3 thousand sometimes more times.

dougityb Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 guys, delete your current critique request and resubmit it. If your scores are low you'll stop and hold steady at 11. If they are high, you will accumulate more than 11. I don't know what the actual cut-off numbers are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajpn Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 Just for your info Walter... I have not had a photo reach over 15 ratings in months; the two most recent have received 13 and 10 in three or four days. I'm either going to have to assume that I have not been coming up with the interesting shots, or something has changed. Anyway, I'm not concerned with that, just making a simple statement.

WJT Posted October 21, 2003 Author Share Posted October 21, 2003 Anthony, I stand corrected. I misunderstood your original statement. Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raghav Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 I agree to Alethea Hollis. Although very very new to the site, I could also not get past the 10 barrier. It would be good to have more people commenting and viewing my photographs. I find it a very nice way to improve (specially since I am an amature..I like being criticized for the shots/angles chosen..) regards, raghav..

john falkenstine Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 If 10 or 11 is a problem, don't worry, just speak up on some crappy pictures, soon your review count will drop to 5 or less as people get mad at you...and you are demoted to the dark corner under the staircase at pdotnet.

smolinski Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 I like your idea, Walter, for "20". I, too, found it strange that after ten ratings the images disappear. Doug, wouldn't deleting a critique request and submitting it again be somewhat an abuse of the system? Now you have me curious on what would happen with an image if I did that.

fya Posted October 26, 2003 Share Posted October 26, 2003 Something's up. All my requests for critique stick at 10 ratings. Obviously it is no coincidence the site only displays pictures with over ten ratings. Occasionally some poor schmuck falls over one of my photos and sticks a rating in boosting the thing up out of the nether world. Further to this whenever I request a critique a notice is sent to the same hapless crew of "no uploaded images" that fall all over themselves for smiling baby, contorted cat images. What gives? Of course I haven't sent my 25 bucks in either... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
