I miss the old forum !

[frontslash]

I don't mean it in a bad way but this is what I miss from the old forum:


1. Number of hits on the photos.
This was the most important feature I liked in the old forum, although nobody would comment on my bad photos. The number of hits would always tell me if people liked the photo or not.


2. The 300 photos per album.
It seems I post more photos than others, the old forum allowed for 300 photos, and the current one only 100. The old photos although available in another part are not accessable, maybe they should all be removed and the extra space should be used to allow for more photos for the current albums.


3. The image size and resolution restriction.
The old album allowed for 900x900 pixel photos and around 200kb photos, the current one only allows for 600x600 and around 100kb. It's not a big deal, as the software automatically reduces the dimension and size to fit, but it does take away from the quality of the published photos.


But the real thing I wish for is more photos and more people coming to the forum. And more comments on good and bad photos. I joined to improve my photography skills, and the feedback has been great for me. I wish it to continue and be even better.

Hello , FrontSlash , I agree with you in some of the points which make the old forum better in few things, becouse it was built from zero to be the way we wanted ,
but the new one is much better becouse it does not requires any modification or update other than VB update

about the points , I will try to add hits count to the pic
and regarding the number I Did not know it was limited to 100 , will make it 300 or more and if you want we can make it 1000 for you but that will make you put all pictures , it is was limited maybe it would be better so people only see your best pictures

and regarding the size I Think it is limited to 900 not 600
this is what I remember I used in the sitting and this is what I have in my album


thanks

I also agree with some of the points, especially the viewing counter.

But I would like to add that I would like to see more critique on photos as to how one thinks they could have been better composed or edited.

I think we all are here not only because of the love of photography, but to better ourselves in our hobby (or profession as may be the case).
Critiques, both negative and positive, gives a different perspective to the photographer which should have the goal of helping develop better shots.

I'm not much of a photographer ( yet ! ), so not much commenting comes from my side but I always appreciate any comments on my photos. Being here already helped alot in my photography improvement, and I'm sure it would do more.
