Conniekat8 So you would prefer a forum, and I would prefer a new gallery genre (or similar filter). Why can't we have both? If you want to have a more interactive discussion of your image, post in the forum with a pointer to your gallery image. You can choose how in-depth the discussion goes by whether you choose to start a forum thread. Again, personally, I will comment on more images if I can select from a browsable gallery instead of dealing with an overload of ebots or searching through forum entries. That's my choice, and I feel I am probably not alone in my lazy but well-intentioned approach. If no one wants my input, that is okay too. But I have a suspicion that I am not the only one who would find this approach preferable to the current one. I really just posted to state why I left the group, and what would cause me to participate again. If others felt the same way, then the group might prevail. As it is, many artists are leaving, and groups members will lose valuable feedback on their images. I feel that is unfortunate. ArtPeal I've read your previous posts and agree that the multiple selection of galleries and/or genres would be ideal. But, since this option is apparently not being offered, I would at least like to have the option of choosing Critique group as the genre. I know people don't want to post to an unpopular gallery, but is the genre that big a deal? I don't care about the genre listing generally, and there are still key words available for searches. Hey, maybe that is an option right there. Add Critique as a keyword, or some other code word unlikely for a non-member to use. Not as convenient as a separate genre, though.
