Too many photos by too few posters, it is becoming impossible to vote and some are no longer posting photos because their 2 or 3 are being swamped.
I have been told by other posters that if you don't get your photo on page 1 or 2 then you won't get kudos so they don't post not many views after the first 2 pages.
Others have said they feel they have to scroll through too many photos to get to any new posters.
This is not sour grapes on my part, it is other posters who take fantastic photos and I have asked why they won't post their photos anymore.
(I am talking about 50 posts to a page when I say 1 or 2 pages)
Don't make too much work for yourself Pimpy, we know who won this week, I don't think it matters if you miss a winners thread now and then. It's a bit like the rules, the more rules there are the more work it makes. I would like to see a thread with all the winners so far (most kudoed) really just out of curiousity and a reminder of the photos that have resonated with people the most.
There is no doubt the photos on the first page seem to get a rush of votes, probably a mix of people trying to encourage more photos and of course just by the nature of being up for the whole week those photos will get more exposure. But a photo that resonates with people will get plenty of kudo's wherever it is in the thread.
When the thread first started I did wonder if posters should be limited to say 3 photos each week, but without people posting mutiple pics I think the thread would often sink pretty quickly from the first page. Some weeks I'll post half a dozen, other weeks none, usually somewhere inbetween. Personally I won't intentionally post a photo that's already been in another themed photo thread just as I won't post recognisable photos of family or friends. But these are really just personal preferances and each to their own.
I think the thread is fine, it is what it is, relax and enjoy it.
