Ciao Massimiliano. You can do that by going to the <a href="http://www.photo.net/bboard/forum?topic_id=1481" >'Critique Forum'</a> and on the right column chose the category you're interested in. Once that category comes up on the screen chose "Rate Recent" link on the top right. This way only images from the chosen category will come up on the rating system. Hope this helps.

It's not a question of cookies Tim. If you're logged out it's the same as if you're not registered at all so you can't rate. Hope it helps. Best regards.

It can also be because you're using a public access point (i-cafe, university or any other). Still I think there are some good online bookmarking services.

Why not use the "Notify me of Responses" link under the "Contribute an Answer" button? Best regards Gary

Same here :) Thanks a lot Brian

Ian: You can just look at the <a href="http://www.photo.net/">PN's frontpage</a> or trough <a href="http://www.photo.net/gallery/">this section here.</a> then choose "Photos of the Week" on the menu on the left. Hope it helps.

Yes Barry, I noticed that also and I think that you're right on the posted date/submit for critique date issue. I think it has already been discussed on a previous thread and someone suggestion was to delete the photo and repost so it will come up on the more recent views if you're submiting a fairly "old" shot.

Chose Category = Fine Art; Period = Month; By = Average as search criteria. Your photo is on page 5. (at least when I made the search) Hope it helps Serge. Best regards

Two reasons for not agreeing with Chris. The first is the obvious business motivation that sustain PN - which is fair -. By reducing the number of submissions from 4 to 2 you would almost take out one of the most important differentiation factor between subscriber and non-subscriber status. But not going in that direction, I must say that the fact that having less to critique isn't going to make me critique more :) What I mean is that people that go trough the "critique only list" aren't interested in short "wow" comments/critiques. They usually chose more interesting thoughts to share. By reducing the number of available options on critique you may also reduce motivation by lack of options. When speaking about questions where is mandatory a person chose and decide to go on to the next process of choice and decision, reducing options is a good choice, but when it's not like what happens here, reducing options is the opposite. One more thing: you know I often visit you work and often leave a comment or critique. If I get there and you already have 6-7 critiques all centered in the same aspect of the photo I will not leave any comment and I go on to your next critique request to see if there is anything I can point out besides the obvious. There are only a few photos on PN that can create a huge number of different comments/critiques.

What about those guys with the tripod John? :) I think it's a good idea. Maybe not lift the limit but at least raise that same limit for a sustainable value.

The photo has not been submitted to the Photo Critique Forum so it's not possible to rate it. Hope it helps.

I guess it has something to do with the way you submitted the photo. By looking at the photo ID it seems to be an email submission right? (ID:10000480). The sort is probably putting this one in first place but Brian will for sure SORT this out.

Windows XP/Firefox and it works great. Better than before IMO. Agree with Giovanni. Thank you for your efforts on making things better everyday Brian.

Same here Peter. I think it slowed down a bit but only Brian (and God) can answer that :)

I think David mentioned what's the most important aspect on the new rating system --> "...but I certainly feel that the increased number of ratings gives a more meaningful average." --> This is also the nightmare of any inflationary average. I don't know the real number of members rating daily but a photo with less than 25-35 ratings doesn't have, IMHOI, a meaningful average. I completely agree with David and tough we cannot be sure about the true intention of a given single value we MUST believe that every singe one is a numerical representation of a member opinion on a determined photo. If we start discussing intentions and "vengeance ratings", "mate ratings" and others one of these days someone will rise the problem that some photographers receive "true comments" and others receive "mate comments". Problems with this new rating interface? Sure. Now we have the ratings given at such an high-speed that some ratings are indeed charged with a decreased critique/analysis quality and the compressed version of the photo sometimes adulterates the photo but it also has it's qualities: higher number of ratings (as mentioned before), faster, friendly interface, etc. Some of you will say that I placed the rating speed in qualities and problems. Yes I did. The faster interface is a great tool when used with criteria and a nightmare if used as an automatic 3/3, 3/4 rating shotgun.

As to ending with the anonymous ratings I just don't think that's the solution. I'm not a professional and I only starter with photography in a more "enthusiastic amateur" way :) last summer but I'm sure that all the pros here will be glad to know something that they don't know during physical exhibits or similar events: some work is not a 7/7 for everybody. If we could have the 3/3 and 3/4 with a comment, well...that would be like a 7/7 IMHO.

Please apologize if my English didn't got trough.

Best regards to you all.

Refreshing. Loved the "Take a nap every afternoon..." advice :) Thank you Jayme

Thanks for the clarification Brian. Neil - Yes it matters but only because the problem was on my end. Thank you both.

I tought it was on my end but I guess not. I didn't saw any thread regarding that down-time so I assumed the problem was mine. Let's wait and see.

Unless there was something wrong with the db on PN that is already fixed the problem is probably on your side Christopher. There's nothing wrong with your gallery or member page. Try cleaning your browser's cache. Best regards.

Lighter, somehow faster (it may be just an illusion). Auto-submit doesn't stay ON as stated before.

Bill and Alexandre. To tell you the truth I think you're both right. I understand Alexandre point of view when he states that is much easier to express feelings in your native language. I have no doubts about this Alexandre. I did this on a few photos and coincidently in one of yours. I also understand Bill issue or question. If PN is a community it's important for everybody to understand each other. Didn't look for the English definition of community tough. I'm only getting references from my limited experience in life. I guess Brian's and Bob's comments are very clear. At least to me that as a recent member never raised this question nor looked for any policy on this. I'm now enlightened about the rules of "making comments" and I agree with them. English is preferable but not mandatory. If they were mandatory I guess Credit Cards would also have to follow the same rule.

As to automatic translators they're fine for simple things but not for express complex feelings or long critiques.

With? Sorry "...it would be..."

I think with would be very useful indeed.
