Re: Plane spotting with an iPhone?

Re: Disappearing views

Just in case the developers would have a need to more examples to further investigate the issue: The following were also affected: 1492369 5953185 5956411 These were the obvious ones (being my most popular shot, and the other two having the least amount of views). Others might be affected also, but ...

Re: Disappearing views

Hi all,

It still isn't solved apparently...

Another one of my pictures was affected...

Hi all,

Re: Disappearing views

I have no explanation for this... Let's hope the site designers can fix it!

Re: Disappearing views

Hello all, This happened to one of my shots somewhere in May. I only noticed it because it had suddenly dropped to the last position (number of hits). Now that you mentioned it, I checked again and two of my shots fell back to the lowest position... Photos for which I noticed it originally was: #595...

Re: Post screening

Thanks for your feedback, Jehan! Much appreciated!

Post screening

Dear all, I would like to get some advise, related to a recent rejection. ID: 5645669 5645669 The shot was first rejected for underexposed. I asked for a second opinion via the appeal-function. In appeal, the screener agreed that exposure was OK, but It was rejected for "motiv" (reason via...

Re: Photographer(s) Feedback on the new site

I've read it could take up to 24h (Los Angeles time) for all indexing and retrofitting to be done. Are Los Angeles hours longer or shorter than the rest of the world? Could explain why I feel like I'm aging faster than normal.... (sorry, just had to get that in :D ) Thanks for your continued update...

Re: Photographer(s) Feedback on the new site

Hi Kas, I have another question: could it be that a view counter is stuck? I have a shot (ID: 3881947) with less than 100 views (I know, that is nowadays not abnormal...but still difficult to get used to). My other shots also have much less visitors than before the change, but their counters still s...

Thanks for the feedback, Vik! I 'll try to make another edit.
