Lower the foto upload cap?

Default Lower the foto upload cap?

It's been brought to my attention by a few members that the cap is currently too large. Long time members don't much like when people 'flood' the fotos page; regardless if the fotos are the best ever or if they utterly suck. Last time I made the cap it was a general consensus of 6 shots. That was without a poll. I am doing a poll this time to get an idea of what would be fine with you guys.

This comes from the members who post maybe 1 or 2 shots now and then and next thing they know, they are pushed back to page4 in a short amount of time. In fact, some of the OLDEST members don't come by anymore cuz their shots are lost in the shuffle so quickly.

So please give your 2 cents as well as vote for what you feel is best for the community.

I hate posting a shot I've worked on for an hour just to see it pushed back in 20 seconds by three hundred out of focus, crummy shots taken on someone's kitchen floor of their new stands. I think it needs to come down to Quality over quantity.

I agree with two photos, but I voted four, since sometimes four might be better, like in the Weekend Warriors... four would be good, but two is fair.

and I voted three as that is what you see on the main page when you log on. Don't really need much more then that.

Well said Shane. I voted for three, that seems fair enough.

Thumbs up Photo Cap

No way!
I was uploading my 4 shots yesterday and I got to 3 when I tried uploading the 4th it kept telling me this message
"The file extension you have entered is incorrect" even though it was a Jpeg.. it took me ages to work on that and now I know why it wouldnt allow me to upload a 4th on the trot!

Not to worry, I agree there should be a photo cap for uploads.. I just forgot you'd added one. I've voted for 3 well because that is what it stands at the moment and it's always been a good base for stories.. beginning, middle and end.. I think with the right imagination you could stringe a sequence of pictures in 3 and still have an awesome upload, without flooding the page.

The problem here is that if someone really wanted to be an Ahole.. they could upload 3 and wait for someone else... upload another 3 and wait for another upload.. then upload another 3. Technically it's not flooding but when the page is expanded you'd still get 9 or 12 of their shots to someone elses 3 so it sort of doesn't solve that page issue thing.

I voted for 3, because it seems like a cool number for something like this. Personally I wouldn't mind seeing more than 15 thumbnails at a time, but I've always liked lots of thumbnails. :-)

You can set the number of thumbnails to a page to 90. You get several days worth of pics at once. I cant help but say that eventually, your pic is gonna get pushed back, no matter how good it is. There are too many people that post up to let yours stay on the front page for as long as you would like. I agree that it should be quality over quantity, but if you wanna post 6 bad ass shots, go for it. I would agree that 3 is a good number because thats all you see from the front page, but seriously, set your view to 90 and it becomes a non-issue.

I only set it temporarily at 90 if I miss a week. And even then, I only skim. Otherwise, I prefer to keep it at 15.

There is NO real cap. You can, in theory, post 200 shots if you want. And in theory, I'll be going thru at least 197 of them and deleting them. What, you guys see the different math in there? Isn't the cap upwards of 6? Shouldn't that be 194 shots I'd delete no matter how good they are? Well, in this case, I'd delete 197 cuz that was just cruel, mean and dumb to post 200 shots and make the rest of the community deal with your 1 vehicle, 200 angles flood!

As I said, several members have been discussing this lately which is the ONLY reason I brought this to light. Then again, this discussion was up for debate a couple years ago too. And some of you newer guys never dealt with some people who'll flood with 30+ shots.

Thanks for commenting and voting. I didn't have a date of when this would close. I'd like as many people to say what's up.
