mcgarity Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 I have never tried to do a search on "rate recent" until tonight. I decided to search the landscape category for a photo that I submitted yesterday. It was easy enough to find but I do not understand the numbers associated with it. It showed "Rating= 11.67, K=6." This has got me scratching my head. On a scale of 1 to 7 I don't see how you come up with a score of 11.67 so obviously I am missing something. I suppose it could be the sum of aesthetics and originality rating but thats just a guess on my part. As to what K=6 means, I don't have a clue. I tried looking in the FAQ to try and gain insight. I could not find anything that explained these numbers. If someone could or would educate me about this I would be grateful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amitai schwartz Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 Anyone have an clues? I've wondered about these numbers, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mottershead Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 K is the number of ratings that have been given in the Rate Recent queue, and the rating is the sum of the Aesthetics and Originality scores, and so it is out of 14 (7+7). The reason they are totalled is that this view shows the list of photos in the "Photocritque Queue", which drives "Rate Recent". This queue is ordered, in part, by the total of the two ratings.

minicucci Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 "I decided to search the landscape category for a photo that I submitted yesterday. " Can you search by category? How? I'd love to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgarity Posted August 1, 2005 Author Share Posted August 1, 2005 Patricia I am definately not the expert on this. I have been a member of Photo.net for some time and yesterday was the first time I ever tried this. That said here goes nothing. Go to the critique forum page. On the right hand side where it says "Recent(Rate) (List) (Browse)" click on Browse. There are a number of options at the top of the screen for searching. It allows you to search by category, by number of ratings received, and so on. I found it to be pretty nifty. I wish I had made use of this feature long ago.
