I thank everyone who takes the trouble to vote on my photos. Good or bad I want the vote. But what I would also like is a bit of constructive criticism. I've posted photos recently and gone back a bit later on to find that someone has voted and they've obviously voted 1 or possibly 2 and in some cases 3. I've also been lucky enough to get some 4 and 5 votes. I really appreciate that people have taken the time to do this but what I'd really like is some constructive criticism. If there is a vote of 1, 2 or 3 then obviously they have thought that the photo could be improved in some way. Please tell me then I can improve (hopefully!) And a little comment on why you've voted 4 or 5 too would be great. I appreciate that it's far too much to ask when voting on competition photos though.

I'm sure everyone else is feeling the same about their photos. So come on, how do you feel when you see that someone has voted for your photo, do you want to know why?

I also agree with AyJayEl about the notification of a comment.

I've just noticed that someone has left a comment on an image I uploaded several months ago asking me a question. I hate to think people assume I am ignoring them when I don't get back to them, when I hadn't thought to check.

Or maybe it's our responsibility to go and check on these things occasionally!

Sounds familiar!

Yeah sure!

Click on the "My Forum" tab (top right box after logging in) and you get a series of options - response notification included...

Set your preferences as you wish, and you're done.

I get notifications of every post.

Yes Mike but that relies on you having posted a reply to a message or to have started the thread in the first place. What I am talking about is when someone has started a thread about a photo of yours. You don't know that they have done it until you have checked all the threads. On some sites that I subscribe to, if someone posts a comment about your photo you can opt to always have a notification.

 Is that clearer or is it still like mud?

I seeeee - I thought that this did happen....but no...it doesn't.

Looks like some technical development is imminent - there are gallery improvements in progress, but I have no timescale by what will be done when.
