I rate quite rarely, but there are a lot of photos I'd like to keep in

mind and/or show others. What I miss is a "Most appreciated

photos of member" page where I can purposefully upload

photos I want to make visible to others - no matter what the

ratings were.

Sometimes I feel that people only give certain ratings because

the want the shot to appear on their "highest rated" list.

"3. For photos on the system less than 30 days, users would be

limited to not more than 5% of 7's. So, someone can go through

older pictures in the database and rate the ones he or she likes

without restriction, but on newer pictures would be limited to no

more than 1 "7" per 20 photos rated."

I think it's impossible to prevent mate-rating by simply changing

the rules. People will always find their loopholes. Why shouldn't

these twits wait a month so as to be able to give their pal's

pouting patsy with pink pants a solid 7/7 and Mr. Gougenheim's

wretched photographic failures the 1/1 they deserve?

If someone is an verifiable abuser of this system, he/she

shouldn't be punished descreetly (deleting his photos, kicking

him out of PN etc.) I'd love to see a "pillory page" where their

names and malpractices are publicly visible. Arrgh.

Birgit, avenger of the ill-rated

To make myself clearer: I don't want to replace my pictures with

other versions. I simply framed them and gave them another size

to reduce loading time! But thanks anyway, William gave the right

hint how to do it. I kept all of the precious comments.

How can I replace an image and keep the comments? Thanks

for helping.

I feel guilty for months, because I still haven't paid my 25 bucks

for all the fun I have with photo.net. As there is no pay-pal

system in Germany I am a bit insecure about leaving my credit

card information on the server. Is it really a safe way to pay - and

is there no other possibility? Thanks for any information.

Oh yes, there it is! Thank you, Brian, and sorry that I looked on

the wrong page...

This brilliant new feature of being able to see one person's

highest rated pictures has disappeared on my own page! It has

been there, I swear! Is it a bug?

Thanks for telling us! I wasn't aware of this problem. For my

English is not the best I am always tempted to correct my

comments afterwards :-)

I noticed, that some of the pictures uploaded in threads appear

only as blue links, others appear as pictures (although all of

them are JPEG files).

Why?

Hopefully I am not number 10.000 to ask this question. (The

search function does not work, but that's not my question here.)

How can I change the order of photos within a folder?

Thanks for your answer!

I am quite new in this forum. Although I experienced what you

write about this idiots who give too-good/too-bad ratings - I see

that the majority of members are fair and constructive. I

appreciate all of the patheticly few ratings I got on my pictures

and I must admit that some of the 5s I got from better-known

people really made my day :-)

I understand the task as to take a picture that is veeeeery looooong (at least

as long as the sofa is :-)) So you have to find a situation that allows your

family to spread out (As i do not know whether your family wants an artistic

or a funny photo I may be totally wrong):

- You certainly know the famous album cover of "Abbey Road" of the Beatles,

where they walk over a zebracrossing. Walking in line is a possibility to cover

a lot of space

- Or: put them in front of a brick wall (very nice contrasts for black and

white). Everyone wearing clothes with good contrasts (striped shirt, plain

blouse, long light dress, short black pants etc.) Put a lot of space between

them. No sky.

- Or as a funny motive: let them carry something very long together. Use an

unusual environment (i.e. rolled carpet on the beach, canoe in the street)

- Take three photos of the same motive but with different expressions in their

faces (e.g. at each case three earnest, one laughing, or all of them looking in

three different directions etc.) and hang the pictures side by side.
