Critique Comments

[jacob_jozwiak]

I don't know if it has been suggested before. When a person leaves a comment as

part of their critique, there is no way to actually reply to them (other than

leaving a comment on the photo as well). This means that the person leaving the

comment will most likely not see your reply. If there was a way to reply to the

person leaving the comment directly (or they were notified that a reply to

their comment was made) would greatly promote communication and exchange of

ideas between photo.net members. Just a thought.

yes, this is so right!

It would be good that their is a button for reply for each comment :)

 

Hope the PN Administration will take this into consideration :)

Do you need more than this? Go to your work space, toggle down to "commented on photos" then down to "follow up". Not direct but it does notify the commenter if a comment was made, assuming they check their "follow up" link.

You could go to their community page and request their e-mail address.

Sure, there are ways around it, none of which are very intuitive. Firstly, the "follow up" link is pretty obscure and I reckon 99% of members don't know it's there. Secondly, emailing them directly takes the communication outside of the photo.net context which is counter productive since the conversations are not available for other members to read (and possibly learn something from them).

I think replying on the page the comment was made is fine.

Jacob--

 

I appreciate your point. I will say that when I log on, the first thing I do after checking to see

if I've received comments on my own photos is to check the follow-up comments page. It's

become second nature and doesn't require much work, just a click of the followup link on my

homepage. I have many significant dialogues with people on both my own photos' pages and

on theirs. There are many people who check their followup comments regularly.

I agree with Jacob. You can defend you system, but it seems that you are actually defending your work around system and implying that Jacob must change the way that he does stuff to a way that he doesn't want to do stuff. I think what Jacob suggests is right on, but it would also be too difficult and not rewarding to program.
