FAO Fuji - Links to people who comment on competition entries
Submitted by Richard McLean on Thu, 16/07/2009 - 11:56
Unless I am missing the obvious, when somebody makes a comment on a competition entry there is no direct link to get to their latest entry. On the old site the posters name was underlined if they had entered the competition. Clicking on the link associated with the underlined name took you directly to their entry. Now you have to click once to get to their profile and then again to get to their entry.
I appreciate that a link in your signature would do this but how many people will do this each month (and remember to update the link)?
This site has many improvements when compared with the old site but this would appear to be a retrograde step.

I agree Richard - another thing, apart from comments in the comp being added at the bottom instead of the top - which I've already commented on - Is I could do with a "Next" button" in the gallery to save having to click on the back arrow all the time when looking at a run of pics.
I know some prefer not to have "next" for the comps though - so that people won't just comment on people they know's pics - but in the gallery I for one would like to see it.
I used to open every comp pic on the old site but don't do it now so making less comments - but I'm making more on gallery pic's now that they are on display. Before I used to look at peoples profiles if they mentioned them in posts - but rarely commented on them.

I've listed a few similar gripes about this site in the "I prefered the old website" thread. ( http://www.myfinepix.co.uk/forum/4/11083 , near bottom of first page and over to 2nd).
I think we need to compile a list of all these things we would like to see changed and send them in to Fuji. 'Navigation' around the site, particularly at the lower levels, seems to be the biggest general issue.

A Few snags but give it time also if viewing the Gallery a slide show would be nice

Give it time.
I preferred, old money, brown leather footballs, wooden tennis racquets, fish and chips in newspaper, Val Doonican, Brylcreme, 7" vinyl records, open coal fires etc,etc.

Yes. I loved Pugwash, not so keen on the Clangers (I was about 18 then)

I like this site a lot but I seem to spend even longer on it than I did on the old one and was beginning to think it was sending me daft(er)!! This afternoon I typed a forum comment but when I checked later couldn't find it - probably didn't click "Save".
Going back to entries being added at the bottom of the page - I keep a sort of log of No of pages in comp & gallery to see how many have been added since my last check - and check "most comments" in comp to see how many I've got.
When I notice the No of comments has increased I go to my pic and see who it's from.
I think yesterday and at least twice today I've checked and seen the same comment still at the bottom despite the No I've got increasing - I hadn't noticed theres now a "Page 2" arrow - same as on my profile gallery!!! So I've just found the last three!!
