Popular Page

Just lazy design and development done in a great rush. I'm sure they'll get there eventually.

I dunno... I stopped looking. It seems the photos on the first page are there for way too long and whilst it's lovely that people have their great shots recognised, it's stale when they've been there too long. At least the spotlight page, for all it's faults, kept moving. We're never happy though. Haha! I'd rather see a new members page or I particularly liked the random page.

Hear, hear! Bring back the random page, where I found all sorts of hidden treasures. I too am unimpressed with the popular pages as the sole place for discovery and recognition; it's incredibly boring to see the same photos over and over again, day after day, and yes, my own ultimately boring images are included in that judgement. It's just like the 'favorites' section of old, which was great for what it was, but at that time there was also a 'random' and a wonderfully revamped 'spotlight' section as complements. I do hope the silence on this issue doesn't mean this is it, that we are stuck with 'popular' pages only. There now seems to be little extrinsic incentive to post quality photographs at Polablip if the only place they might possibly (but probably won't) end up is on the first few pages of a simplistic popularity contest that only a few talented and/or very dedicated photographers will repeatedly find themselves featured in. Around here the photographer must either work the popularity game or rely on intrinsic rewards, which is fine if that's what Polablip is aiming for. Just wish they'd let those of us who remember the good old days know what's in the works (or not).
