Paul, Do you think you could turn your...ahhh..."disertation" grin into faq wording. You've got some good points there! As you mentioned, and audre, confirmed in another thread, this one's going to take some time and every bit of additional help would get this thing off the ground. As for categories/ratings, I believe the forum could be constructed to accomodate both. The "OVERALL" category could be changed to INCLUDE general comments. Remember, it was mentioned above to include text boxes for each category so a critiquer could provide added info for the rating. I would really like to see at least the categories stay because they give some structure--a way to guide and think about critiquing that is totally absent in the galleries. IMO, I believe that lack of structure contributes to the their failure as a source for improving artists. As for a numbering system, I'm not particularly hard up on that; however, I thought from the few examples I provided that it pointed to specifics. A simple text box could accomplish the same thing...just take more time. Paul (too) P.S. You're right, Pauls are nice people :-)
