Kelly, to mirror what Almo said, my life got a lot easier when I raelized I could open the drop-down menu and hit "F" and it goes right to the first Fuji product. I still have to scroll through about 1300 Nikon lenses to get the one I want but it makes a little easier

Hope this helps!

I suppose if I *have* to, I will, but mine is pretty far down the list of "C's" too, and kinda hard to pick out since it's not with others of its kind. I always get just a little bit confused when I'm looking for it. Lenses are even harder, because I don't exactly *remember* the exact specs of my lenses unless I'm looking at the boxes. I'd have thrown the boxes away except I need them in order to post in the gallery.

I would rather see it changed, if possible. There is no logical reason why I have to scroll through cameras I don't have and never will. It would be different if I was scrolling through f-stops or something that is always changing. My camera pretty much stays the same each time I use it. ;)

Would it help to press "d" and then scroll up? Maybe the camera info could just be set up to be left blank unless someone really wants to post it. We seem to be able to discuss shots on the forums without that info unless someone feels like posting it. If someone does have a question about hardware, they generally ask it. Hey- that would generate one of those now too few comments and open up the chance for a dialog.

I've also noticed that people don't post comments to my pictures unless they know me, and I kinda feel the same way. I'm real squeamish about posting a comment to a name I'm not familiar with.

I'd have to agree to a extent. Even though I just put a bunch of pictures up around the beginning of April, you just don't seem to get the same traffic as on the forums. My only post so far is from almo, who critiqued one of my pics on the forums, and then gave me a rating on the critique. I love the ideas of the ratings. It's a nice little thing to use, but it seems like this is going to be a thing where people who know you rate your photos. But I don't mind that, I'm starting to rate 'random' peoples photos right now, just go into one category and do a mass rating. I just wish viewing the pictures would be a tad easier so your pictures don't disappear so quickly.

That's my thoughts,

I was even inspired my almo (again) and added a link to my gallery page in my sig. Might not be a bad idea to create intrest and traffic to that area of the site.

Whenver I've posted in the Gallery I have tried to review/rate/comment on least as many images as I've posted.

My concern is that encouraging people to review/rate/comment other than when they are genuinely interested in doing so will clog the gallery with a lot of stuff that is handled quite well now in the forums.

Sometimes there is just nothing that is new in Gallery that I want to make much comment regarding unless I resort to brutal candor.

One issue I've always had with rating ANY thing with a 10 scale, is that by setting a standard like that, users should adhere to it or its worthless.
I can on one hand say I've never seen 1 or a 2 posted, and whats the REAL difference between a 5 and a 6. O.K. I can be cynical so take this with whatever grain of salt you desire.

I do hope, that users will use the Gallery more! There are a lot of really, really good photos from photographers who don't post anything elsewhere or seemingly only post once and never (long time) return, maybe because they don't get feedback.
