We promised to do this a long time ago, but it has finally happened.

The gallery has gone back to showing all new pictures created recently. It still has the extra 'popular' and 'new user' sections but no longer only shows one picture from each user.

If you spot anything bug-like or have any feedback, please let us know...

Thank you!

Thanks, ThinkDraw and Baldur ...

I think this is the way it should be

Baldur

Thank you for the thank you but it was not of my doing.

clorophilla

Lizzi

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

talking about changes...

Still there is that flaw in the "recent popular pictures" strip, when kids use the comment function of a pic as a chat. Just now it's happening wit two doodlish pics of two 9 yr old children:

It was talked about this problem in past times, here it is the topic:

strarting from this comment forward.

It would be nice if this could be fixed...

thanks again!

ThinkDraw

Hi,

Have fixed the issue for these two pictures, will keep working on a general fix.

Thanks for the attention . . .

Thank you Think Draw. The issue of the number of comments on picture determining its popularity bothers me much more than the number of pictures an artist can have in the gallery at one time.

I hate to be the lone dissenter here or to complain at all about something that is provided to us free of charge and is so much fun, but I liked the format before better, where an artist was only allowed one drawing at a time on the first page of the gallery. If you look at the gallery now, there is almost an entire page taken up by the multiple drawings of three people. My latest, done this morning has disappeared into oblivion never to be seen again. I thought the previous format solved that problem.

Baldur

hmmmmm
But, had you done 2 drawings today your first one would have vanished into oblivion immediately upon your posting the second. Realistically most people are not going to go to your personal gallery to see if you've done anything else recently.
They might however cruise through the first couple of main gallery pages and find it there.
It's a darned if you do, darned if you don't situation

I suggest putting the next button back at the bottom of the gallery page (like it is in "my picture gallery" -- makes it easier to scroll through.

I agree with five about the next button. I do like being able to see all the pictures again. Thanks!

clorophilla

I agree too!

ThinkDraw

So. Multiple comments from the same user will no longer influence the popularity of a picture which should improve the 'recently popular pics' section of the gallery.

Next to add the 'Next' link...

clorophilla

thank you TD!!

mdawrcn

Thanks for the "paging back." That is new, right? It works great!

mdawrcn

And the next button!!

Sad to see that there is not much activity on here anymore.
