daniel rufer Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Hello all<p> Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I was intrigued by the smoke picture in yesterday's "daily sampling" and wanted to bookmark the portfolio. Unfortunately I didn't, as I was not on my computer and I stupidly didn't mark the person as interesting or such, so I simply have no clue what he or the picture was called. <p> I tried searching the gallery for "smoke" but always get the "database busy" error. I tried searching for portfolios with "smoke" but didn't find any. I also remember that the photographer had a portfolio called "thin lines" but that doesn't appear in the portfolio list either. <p> Is there any other way to search?<p> Sorry for the trouble, and thanks for helping :)<p> Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshroot Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Sadly, there is no way to do this currently. Although it comes up often enough that we should probably find out some way to at least have the previous day's "front page" images listed somewhere. Yu were getting the database busy message because thursday night-friday morning is when the site backup takes place. That always is taxing for the server. The gallery search should work fine now. You can also search using google images and the limitation "site:photo.net" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_mounier Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 If your browser has a "History" you can just go back and look for the page. In your browser's prefs, you probably had to set how far back you want to save. Hopefully you set it for a few days. I just did this myself, not having remembered the sight I was looking at. Worked like a charm. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_mounier Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Is this the shot you are asking about? http://www.photo.net/photo/3865047 Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel rufer Posted February 2, 2008 Author Share Posted February 2, 2008 Thanks to both for answering.<p> To Josh: the previous day's "daily samplings" would be nice... a day goes by quite quick :)<p> To Peter: Of course I would have used the history, but I was at a computer that I do not have access to anymore, that's why I should have marked the person as interesting or emailed myself the link or... <br> BUT: It is indeed that shot, thanks a lot for finding it!<p> *goes off to bookmark the smoke portfolio and Mehmet Ozgur as interesting* ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
