Member favorites?

Let me set this up....I picked 10 people at random from the online list and looked at their favorites, of these 10....6 had used the add to favorites option...this group of 6 really varied from having only one image in favs to one having 60 plus pages of favs. After looking at them all(even the one with 60 pages) I found 4 had one image in common....I then sorted by c-index to see where this image ranked...13 pages later...I found it. I would love to see a "sort by favorites" button...before someone says "thats what the c-index is for" I don't want to replace the c-index but have a new way to view what others like. I really was taken by the images I found looking through others favs...many were absolutly spectacular...I feel this would give an oppurtunity to see images we wouldn't dig deep through the c-index for. Please don't let this become another trash or praise the c-index fight....just in case you are wondering what image it is that the four had in common...here is a link Virgo I know I missed it first go around and may have never seen it without looking through those favorites.
Thanks

Interesting point Moe, sometimes I go thru a favorites gallery & see images in there I hadn't seen before for whatever reason, if I like them enough I'll go comment, or even DL.
So it's something to consider.

It will never happen.. Someone might mistake it for favoritism.. This is a dictatorship.. Caedes rules..

Morwyn : why are you so pessimistic about everything? Can't we just have fun and be a bit more light-hearted?

When you get to be 61 years old you will as pessimistic as I am.. I have just seen too much of life to be light hearted about much, any more.. I really wish we could still have fun here..

Edit: I was just told that a pessimist, is a well informed optimist..

I am not belittling anyone.. I have just seen more than the average person.. I love this site.. I wouldn't come day after day if I didn't.. It just has some things I don't like very well.. I accept them, not because I like them, but because Caedes has spoken.. As site owner, he has the right to make the rules as he sees fit, and I will support him all the way.. I think the probem is that a lot of people misunderstand me.. I am a terrible tease.. Have been all my life.. For a grouchy old woman, I sure laugh a lot.. I make the kids who come here laugh and that is what is important.. Most of them don't take me seriously.. I have said before and I will say again, I work very hard at being grouchy.. Now as for the favorites listing.. That is going to be a probelm because it is going to look like people are playing favorites.. This caused serious probelms last summer and I don't want to see that happen again.. It will end up with a list of top artists, again problem.. That kind of thing causes jealosy.. You do what you want, boss.. I will always support you..

Hence the word "favorites".........you're thinking back to the way the c-index was manipulated before Caedes made major changes to the voting....you can't vote a zero or ten to affect the outcome of favorites...and your friends can only add your image to their favs once....so if their friends are adding them and your friends are adding you...then it all evens out.....besides...thats a minority. Right now only the artists who have to vote daily to post are the main ones who are deciding what c-index to apply to what image...I would like to hear from the other 150,000 plus members on what their favorites are and enjoy images I may never find without a months worth of searching.

I think Ann might need a joke sign.... just to make sure nobody misunderstands....

If you ask nicely Keifer will probably charge only a small fee to make you a "Madame Grouchy is joking" sign.

and I'd be very interested to see a "sort by favorites" option.

well most of the time… I was kind of offended by your response to a post on another thread awhile ago, but not really knowing you, I let it pass on by. Knowing you a little better now, I'm fairly sure that you didn't mean it the way that it came across to me, but I can tell ya ur doing quite well on ur quest to be The Grouch. lol.

I have a feeling this joke sign might need to have a feature where it can be inserted afterwards to clean up a mess.

Its time for a new sig for me, so it is for sale. Any offers can be made via a message in my profile.

Ahhhh ... ok, then ... got it.

This is where the 'real' personalities of the members get revealed ;) .

Ok, more serious now ... correct me if I am wrong, but, in the quiet of the voting booth, and obviously interrelated with the infamous C-Index, are we not getting a read on what images do stand out?

This is more a question of semantics I think.

Are you suggesting that those images that members have placed into their personal favourites folder and may subsequently appear in others ... read others ... be indexed some other way?

Hmm, could be interesting. Although it does sound like a popular vote of sorts.

Additionally, your ... er, sample may not be random or large enough to be statistically significant. (A little levity, if you will ;) . )

I do the same thing. When someone comments on one of my uploads or if I view "users online" I will see names that I have never seen before and out of curiousity check out their favs section too. I've found alot of great photos that would otherwise be missed. Maybe we should have an "oldies but goodies" section. Just a thought :)
