color Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 When I look at the list of "people who have marked you as interesting" on my page and see that on a given date one of those people has "made a contribution" I don't necessarily see anything connected to that person, no rating, no critique, so I wonder, what activities constitute a "contribution"? Also, another (I suspect) technically closely related question: When I'm on my page and see that one of the people I have marked as interesting has an updated date next to their name it means what? I've gone to look at the page of one of my favorites based on that date and I don't see anthing new there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lex_jenkins Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 In the context of people marked as interesting, I think the contribution refers specifically to the last time that person has uploaded a new photograph to his/her portfolio.

color Posted November 29, 2008 Author Share Posted November 29, 2008 I used to think that, but it ain't so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norma Desmond Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 It definitely includes the last time a person made a comment of any kind, whether on a photo or in a forum. Yet I, too, sometimes see an interesting person having done something on a given day where I don't see a new photo submission or any new comments, so I'm not sure what they might have done. I know that simply logging on and reading comments and looking at photos will not get you an updated "made a contribution today" but it's likely that doing some anonymous rating through the queue will get you updated, and I don't think anyone would see hard evidence that you've done that kind of rating, so it may appear you've been inactive when in fact the anonymous rating you've done is just the kind of acitivity that goes unnoticed but gets you updated. We didn't need dialogue. We had faces! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshroot Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I'm pretty sure that it is based on "site contribution". Meaning a forum post, image comment, image uploaded, rating, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I'm not 100% sure on minor technical issues like this. Had this been something crucial to site operation, I would have asked Jin to dig through the databases to look for it. As it is, I'm 98% sure that my answer is the correct one and I would rather not pull Jin away from the work he is doing just to track down the other 2%.
