$50 a pop. Oh no, the photo police are on the way.

I've traveled loads with my laptop and camera. I think the best way is to protect each item individually and then just throw it all in a regular backpack. If you're traveling to foreign countries it's more inconspicuous and you can take it on board in addition to a carry-on.

Count me in. I sent an email a week for months to the critique circles and never recieved a response. I won't hold my breath waiting for them to open up again especially with the hardware issues that Brian is now working on. Maybe we can form a group informally and go from there.

After reading through this thread there are 3 points that make a lot of sense. First and foremost, James suggestion of anonymous photos for the first week. That would take the wind out of the back slappers sails and could possibly jump start more rating and critiquing of photos. Second, get rid of ratings of 1 and 2. As Bob said, they are retaliatory rates. They are primarily used in retaliation and by low ballers. This site is supposed to encourage photography, a 3 is low enough. If people hate a photo that much, let them give it 3's or not and/or leave a real critique or not. Lastly, whatever you decide to do, do it in baby steps. I used to write 3 or 4 critiques a day at photosig as a last chance critic. They had their heart in the right place when they decided to change and try to get better critiques as you are now contemplating but it's not working there. It was a good place to get a quick measure of the publics opinion of your photo, not by the ratings but by the views, the same goes here but it's not as immediate. Photonet excels in the forums. It seems that most active members here like to discuss the different aspects of photography and critique the POW which is fine by me. I've learned a lot here. In my opinion, anything that would push for more critiques is great. It's hard enough to get most people to just click on a couple numbers and give a photo a rating. Figuring out how to get them to think about a photo and type out a critique is going to be a tough trick. I thought and still think critique circles are a great idea but apparently they haven't worked out. Good luck.

I just tried again today and no go. I'll wait for word that it's running again.

Seven, I've checked myself on other computers as Massimo has and now that I know it's not only me I guess we'll just have to wait until it's fixed.

I've changed the name of the file that I want to upload to avoid a conflict with the original. Any suggestions?

For the last couple days I've tried to replace an existing photo

with a new and improved version. All goes well with the process

after I hit submit but the photo doesn't change. I'm also refreshing

my browser.
