OK, I'm perfectly willing to have a reasonable discussion. First off, check out my thread in Ideas Forum about feedback and comments. You'll see straight away that saying things like "Those 27 comments weren't enough to stroke your ego?" are so far removed from what I really want that it's the complete opposite. Why would I go to the trouble of proposing ways of getting more constructive comments (rather than those of the "great image" variety) if I want my "ego stroked"? At the very least I'd start posting T&A. "How about instead of trying to limit those of us who don't get those kind of comments, try to help us." Help in what way? I'd be glad to help. If you call posting well over 1,500 comments myself "not helping" then maybe I can't help out after all, but if you have ideas then don't keep them secret, let's hear them. "If people don't want to look at an image they're not gonna look at it." Very true, but what about people who WOULD like to look at an image. I miss loads of images because on dial-up I simply don't have time to trawl every one, and it does worry me when someone takes the time to comment on my images and I then miss their image, because it looks like I'm just in it to get feedback from others (yes, like some of the more ignorant might suggest). I never suggested this was a miracle cure for all the woes of the gallery, but it would surely help. You only have to look at the rate views appear on an image to see what effect page position has. I can get maybe 100 views in 3 hours on page 1, but on page 5 I'll get maybe 5 or 6 in a day. If the galleries move even 20% slower as a result, more people will see more works, they'll comment more on individual pieces, yours included, and also (wash my mouth out for saying it) I do think it will focus people's mind on what they're posting, so they'll post their best works.
