suggestion for e-mail photo alerts

[PeterKrenek]

Hello, in an e-mail photo alert there could be links to photos instead of just

user name and photo info. This way we would not have to search for users (which

are sometimes impossible to find with just an initial instead of a surname as I

have suggested previously - http://www.photo.net/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?

msg_id=00Jo3T), but simply click on the link to save time. It might reduce

server traffic (search would not be necessary), so it might be a convenient

change. What do you think ? Thank you.

This is completely wrong. When you request an alert on a post, the alert contains a simple link to bring you right to the photo in question. But more importantly, I TOTALLY DISAGREE that Photo.net should start automatically e-mailing people's work to other members.

Chip, I do not see anything wrong about this. Probably we are not talking about the same thing. You can already choose whether Photo.net is sending you automatic alert on photos. You just select keywords the image info should contain and an e-mail with information about the photographer's name and subject is sent to you as often as you select. This alert does not contain any links, which makes you lose your time searching for the photographer in the PN directory and then finding the photo in question. That was my point.

 

the link where you can set up an automatic alert is here:
