I noticed a certain delay in updating my member's page (new posted

picture or new comments)... is it a general case or a problem with

my page only?

I found the positionning of image inserted in comment a bit

confusing.<br> IMO should be below the name of poster along with the

comment rather than standing alone above the name which may lead to

the conclusion that the image belongs to the previous poster...<p>

just a remark

Seems that Louis you posted a remark in form of a question but u don't accept a single answer!<p> Yes, There are more picture of nudes, averagely rated though. and No PN doesn't promote over others, there are everywhere else, there is obviously a demand for that, in quantity rather than quality if I see the figures! <br>next question-remark!<p>and welcome back in the real world Louis!<br> :o)

Has anybody heard about the 'global warming'?!...

but checking on your portfolio, I don't see any obstacle to rate them... anyway, you can't rate your own pictures.

Since few weeks now, you need to make a formal 'critique/rating request' in order to authorize rating onto your pictures. <p>you are also entitled to selectively disapprove comments on pictures for which you didn't request critique/rating.

The fact you pay the 25$ does not make you a certified critics or a more valid photographer, makes you simply less anonymous (declaration of credit card holder or paypal account...), so makes you probably more responsible when posting comments, at least for a large majority.

I am using Windows XP Sp2 +IE6.02. <br>I also regularly clean up cookies and temp file (with Adware (a freeware) and/or simply using IE Tools/InternetOption/DeleteCookies and DeleteFiles then I don't have any ads bothering so far when I am logged in as subscriber.

Cold wind, warm wind...<p>well, last week I was not happy about your

leonine subscriber page modification... and I expressed it...<p>So

this week, that ads desappeared (at least for member) I feel

compelled to publicly say that that is excellent. I don't need to

scroll up and down anymore to see the full gallery page and be able

to go to next page. <br>Save around 20% of my PNet page space!

PS: Jayme, 'Satellite' is the model name of the Toshiba portable pc. As said I dispose of a BB sccess, which is a kind of highway for internet...

Ken, I was just direct, no need to feel offended, if so, I am sorry about that.<p>Jayme, it's not the first time i notice that, the upload time for pages on the net really depend... on time! generally nightime (Tokyo time) it's much slower, while it's far more quicker at noon. What I noticed also is, at a given hour and relatively to other pages, members' pages which have a substantial number of post are, and by very far, more longer to charge than other members' pages (including the one with scrolling): try AZ or Marc G page and compare with other people...

seems that Brian and Ben and I were posting at the same time... my latest answer was dedicated to Ken and Jayme!

Sorry but talking about numbers... when I click on name to see the full pages of people here:<p>

It took me, watch in hand, 40" to reach your full page Ken, while 23" for Jayme, 9" for Brian M, 25" for Bob Atkins, 5" for Amelie*, and 11" to see mine when I had those scrolling pages... so let me know about the exact quickness, and stop the bullshit... that said I like your Ashley pictures.<p> PS: I dispose of regular broadband japanese YahooBB + latest Toshiba Sattellite portable pc.

Looking at things in a positive manner... Ken and Jayme, I conclude that people I portrayed will receive more visits... and, believe me,I am just happy for that!

I agree with you Guy and quite desapprove the way this was done. I have seen people writing how much they hated the members page with pictures scrolling or background colour or different font, then they should simply pass their way. We have been doing what was at our disposition, using the tool provider by PNet. Anyway the 4000 characters was limitative enough to prevent real abuse <p> BTW, upload of such pages is must faster than the one of whom has thousand posts in memory. <p> I found that 2 pages of bio 'the extended' and 'the standard' a nonsense. So I destroyed my scrolling presentation of portfolio. As a paying member, I found the way it was done quite tactless, the least to say...

Yuan, you were very hard with me and my beloved EGO... I check site feedback, I read POW, then I read my name... I thought that'as my day at PNet... but still none my picture on PNhome.... just a lonesome cowboy in the eastern!<p>

:o)<p>just jokin'<p>half...!

Ben, I don't have a real answer to your post, just few additional comments on the RATE RECENT ...<p> firstly Ben, a 3/3 is NOT a BAD rating... it's encouraging: in my case, I dont' rate picture which I find hopeless (1-2) and have no time for that, and there are in numbers here... so when I rate 3 or 4, it MUST understood as encouraging (at least from my viewpoint), eventhough there is no joint comment <p> secondly, I much prefer non-anonymous rating. Then I can look back to rater page, not necesseraly at his own picture (sometime there is none, which I don't find a problem: you can have taste and opinion on a photo even if you don' take picture yourself), but to have a look at WHAT HE/SHE LIKES (favourite images), then I can get an idea why I got this rating from that person, on the top of objectiveness of my post. Revenge rating is as stupid as mate rating IMO.<p> then, that is true that IMPORTANT INFO ARE MISSING when rating anonymously on the recent queue page (which I do sometime to have input on Gallery): main is <b> the introducing comment by the author </b>for the critic. I find this quite a nonsense to ask this introduction and do nothing with that afterwards on the page it's precisely requested for...

Brian, if you were'nt happy with the marquee, which I can understand (as I expressed it when you asked few weeks ago), then why not isolate the marquee in extended bio as you call it... what I don't understand is why it was decided to just cut all the bio of people who have 'marquee' compared to the other who had not their bio cut? I like to be positive but indeed quite messy job here.

it's really looks like quite MESSY now. Not a single member with the same page: one have bio, one have extented bio, one have pic, another have not, for one you directly access to extended page, for another you don't, for some you have all details, for some others you dont have... I just wonder if site managers want people to leave the site creating their own webpage or not?

<p> <i>I posted that in another thread by mistake</i>

if you have a <marquee> that is rolling pictures extracted from your portfolio all your bio desappear from standard page... which is not homogeneous with most members without <marquee> that could keep their bio appearing on standard page... that's what I call a bug. Above all, I really don't see the positive point of this change...

I used to have a bio picture... it desappeared, although I can see bio picture in other regular member pages... I think you should advertize a bit more about changes. It's getting quite difficult to follow even for regular posters ...

Seems that there are some bugs in member page: no more bio photo,

strange format,... some member's pages are working some are not...

quite strange

Janet, using the Forum Search function you could have found the reponse recently made <a href="http://www.photo.net/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=00CcwR"> HERE </a>

I still don't understand why some people spend time to rate pictures 1 or even 2... better 'pass on next'! unless you have plenty of time to loose feeling doing something important for the community... <p> What a 1/1 or 2/2 receiver will do about it? NOTHING POSITIVE... either he doesn't care, either he just posted something horrible to get attention and then will be pleased to have got you in his net, either he'll be very frustrated and feel insulted (especially if it comes with no comment which is 99% the case of those rating).<p> If you have such time to spend, why not leave a comment or a question than such a mark (of disrecpect).<p>Rating a pic 1/1 or 2/2 because you simply feel that its rating average is just too high, and place it in a too advantageous position on TRP, or whatever gallery you may nervously look at, is just not fair (to put it into a nice word!). And I reckon many frustrated people act in such way.
