I thought we could have a vote on what to do with the 'post your pictures here thread' as it seems many like me are unhappy with how it is at the moment.

If there is a clear direction forum users want to take then maybe mods would kindly make such changes?

How many people would be in favour of ending the 'Post your pictures here thread', and instead have a small selection of sticky threads split into photography genres, like People, Wildlife, Sports, Macro, Landscapes, miscellaneous. Or something similar.

All those in favour say 'aye'.. All those against say 'no'.
 
What if a photo falls in to multiple categories? Or if I take a few photos at the same time, one of a person, the next of a tree. They are still in my eyes from the same set but do I have to post them in two different threads for C&C?

Not for example if the overall theme is people, then it can all go in the people thread.

If there is no actual 'theme' and they are all a mix of everything yet are still a 'set', they should probably go in the miscellaneous thread.

The 'post your pictures here thread' was obviously was obviously created to solve a problem.
A new thread for every picture would be hell, and much worse than what we already have.
 
Don't need a thread for different types of photo, that just makes things too annoying/complex/pain for no reason.

Could have a "Fun share your pics" thread and a "Serious C&C/feedback" thread.

It's too mixed, allot of people (like me) only find a few genres interesting, at least if they were split into genre, people can view what they are interested in, and if they are interested they would be far more likely to offer C&C.

As it stands I rarely enter the post your pics here thread, the same would be true of the fun or C&C threads.

I think all images posted here are open to C&C anyway, it's just not often that people can be bothered.
 
Thanks for commenting. I think normal threads will get lost fairly quickly unfortunately. Particularly some of the slightly less popular genres.

If 6/7 is too many, how about 3-4 of the most popular, with the rest going into the post your pictures here thread that doesn't have to be a sticky?
 
How about 3 sticky threads like..

1) Post your portraits, weddings & candids here thread.

2) Post your nature, sports, & Macro's here thread.

3) Post your landscapes, astronomy & panaramics here thread.
 
Doesn't look too messy not to make um sticky's to me, except nature an wildlife could probably be made into one, as well as people and weddings, it could instead be weddings and portraits.
