Prefernces options?

Hello,

 

Each time I view an image posted on photo.net, there is a "folder"

below the image with the following "tabs" or headers: Details,

Ratings, and Copyright. It would appear the default is set at

the "Ratings" tab. Is there a way to set the preferences to show

the "Details" tab of the folder when the image is viewed? I've looked

around and haven't found any information regarding a way to change

these settings.

 

I know many, many folks here on photo.net rely heavily on the rating

system. However, I'm much more interested in seeing the technical

information regarding the image I'm viewing. If there is a way to

change this setting, so the "Details" tab appears when the image link

is opened, I would love to know about it. That way, I wouldn't have

to display images twice.

 

Now, before anyone mentions this: no, I've not posted any images to

photo.net for critique - nor am I a "patron" or anything of the sort -

yet! These things will change in the near future, as I will start

posting images as my body of work grows and I have images that I want

to post! Thanks!

 

Regards,

I've been meaning to ask the same thing. I'm much more interested to hear about the photo when I stumble across it than see the ratings. And the overall rating is restated in the details section anyway i believe.

Depends from where you "enter." Click on a photographer's

portfolio, and then a particular image - the default there is

"details" and not ratings. Similarly, go to the photo critique forum

thumbnails - click on an image, you get "details" as the default.

Only when entering photo critique from the typed "list" will you

find that the default is ratings.

Thanks to Carl and Seven for their replies.....

 

If I enter through a list, then "Ratings" is the default tab. If I enter through the Critique Forum, or through an individual portfolio, then "Details" is the default tab.

 

I suppose then, the answer to my original question is "no, there is no way to change the default setting" if I enter an image through a list, such as the Unified Forum View.

 

Correct?

I'd say that's correct, Bill. Another type of list is that of portfolios,

but then the whole is displayed in gallery format - and you'll click

on the image and get ...... details. I think only services@photo.net

could change the critique forum "list" default from ratings to

details.

 

Should you be trying to avoid the time it takes for the thumbnails

to display - there's something you could alter on your own

browser, then you'd simply get whatever text is in the thumbnail

display : but I'm virtually IT illiterate and can't help you with that!

 

Cheers.
