Photo forum

Isn’t it about time that the photo thumbnails start to appear again on the photo forum. It would make it an interesting place to go again!

pusser giffgaff were implementing the thumbnails for the photography tag (which you could have seen in the preview site before it was taken down). Perhaps @ajapayne can update us?

pusser I agree. Thanks for the reminder endorphin . There was some great work done by @ajpayne and it's a shame it still hasn't been implemented.

pusser I quite like the element of surprise in the forum as it is now. In fact some contributors use intriguing titles to pique your interest or make you curious to see their photo.

good idea

This could slow down loading times. I found the old style was quite clunky. I do agree though, it was nice to see the image before going into the link

timwilliams25 even a small thumbnail would be better than nothing. It would give you an idea of the content.

amejoy I’m not a like to surprise person 😀 A preview of what’s on there would be much better and people won’t have to dream up titles that many won’t even see. If you look at the usage of the forum I suspect it has decreased since the new format?

pusser The stats may well prove you right. I've only known the forum as it is now and would soon get used to any new format.

@endorphin @anth006 Hey guys, sorry to keep you waiting for a response guys. As you may remember the community dev team focus was shifted at the start of the year and so this sort of additional feature was put on hold. Once the focus has shifted back and once preview is back online, this will be back up and work will resume on it.

anth006

ajapayne Great to hear from you and hoping you can get back onto this in the very near future. Thanks for the responses, much appreciated.

endorphin

ajapayne thanks for the update, it's much appreciated.

pusser

ajapayne hi, any idea when the team is likely to focus on the Photo Forum, it did make a huge difference being able to see what photos where being posted😀

anth006

pusser The development team had a shift in focus early this year to improve what we have before introducing anything new. As soon as the team are able to introduce new features I'm sure they'll be keen to get onto it.

I think that now we just need to keep letting the management know that this is important.
