Hi Chris,

On the photo upload page, the CLEAR FORM button seems to be non-functional now.

And the notifications is not working properly, ie directs to 2018 photos instead of latest.

Thanks, Ted. This should be fixed now.

Which notifications? The ones that come via email or the ones with the red number in the upper right corner of the website?

Both seem to be working properly for me, by the way.

Sorry I was not more specific - notifications of people I am following if that is the right term that appears on my home page
--------------------------------

Yuriy Slyusar added 38 new photos.

Nikos Karageorgos added 33 new photos.

Jay railfotographia added 38 new photos.

Tom Farence added 38 new photos.
-----------------------------------------------

View All Notifications

Besides always showing 38 or 33 new photos I am directed to an old photo.

I never logout since not sure of my login/passwd so maybe that is problem after upgrade.
Anyway not that big of deal I guess, just to be helpful.

Thanks, bob

Fixed, Thank You.

I just noticed that I am no longer getting the e-mails that tell me a picture has been accepted, or the ones that notify me of comments. This JUST started happening. I have such e-mails from as recently as Monday. I don't know if this is just my e-mail server, or a site issue.

Was about to post about this as well...

Had a comment accepted, no email notification.

Overnight, I received a boat-load of acceptance notices as well as comment notices, which were clearly retroactive for several days. Not sure if my e-mail system was just catching up with reality, or perhaps the notification issues with the site have been remedied. At least right this minute, I appear to be up-to-date on notifications.

I got this as well.

Hi Chris,

I receive new photo notification emails for anything containing "Norfolk & Western" and I've now noticed that the View Full Size links no longer do anything. They appear to be just text. Doesn't work on my mobile devices or PC.

Thanks

Clearly an upgrade issue, I hope -

Currently, the option to search via "most comments" is no longer available.

This method often prioritized the best and most interesting photos on RP, with "most favorited" doing a fairly decent job behind it. "Most popular" of course, remains the realm of most campaigned / Darwin, pretty girls, accidents and multiple locomotives at a leasing agent. I still like the idea of a one hour limit for most popular, allowing others with highly appealing images (that got uploaded "at the wrong time") a shot at the front page (as well), all the while adding some variety to the front page (do we really need to see a wreck or a so-so campaigned image for several hours?).

We always look for the site to get better and better, offering new features along the way. This would be a big step backwards (just like the removal of the map and the removal of the time stamp on the EXIF (for those not intent on hiding it).

Just noticed a search by "Most Comments" is available (sometimes?), but only on the front page, not afterwards - ie, I can not look up a patron's images, and then search via "most comments".

I uploaded a photo on Tuesday night that was accepted:

PhotoID: 787054
Photograph © Doug Lilly

I was busy yesterday and did not submit anything, and did not submit anything today. A little while ago, I received an email notice of submission results.

PhotoID:
Photograph ©

This is strange.

(Edit) The [photoid=xxxxxx] function is not working either.

Seeing how it has been working for others recently - let's see if it's you, a temporary glitch, or a current issue:

Thanks. Glitch #2 was on me.

Mgoldman · 11-16-2021, 06:03 PM

Another issue I noticed, again, praying it's a glitch vs a removal of a feature...

On the home screen, you no longer can use "Photos I've favorited" nor "Photos I've commented on" in a search. Those a features I've come to depend on when using
this site. Hopefully, this will be fixed...

/Mitch

Well, wait - now it's there. And now it's not. Seems it is not always an option on the front page,
despite being logged in under each scenario. I saw it, but I can't get it back...

I can confirm same thing happened to me. I thought I was imagining something.

Also, maybe you could help Lisa out on the other thread "Cloudy day Strikes again." which is a pan shot. I heard you do those once in a while.
