Michael, yes I'm sure there are ways to improve the initial view of the gallery. One problem is the way that images quickly vanish onto the 'underneath' pages, and you have to click through to see them, so for someone just having a quick glance you just see the current most recent selection. Perh...

What has happened?
Debates on these lines have appeared previously from time to time. In my very early days back in 2008/9 there was criticism of the banality of many of the comments, and indeed of many of the pictures, posted in the Gallery. It was felt for serious debate it was best to post and comment in The Forum....

I haven't been very active lately, mainly because I seem to have lost my desire to take photos. It always remains a shame to me that so many post photos in the gallery, using it as free storage it seems, but never contribute to the forum. Some don't even realise there is a forum I suspect. On...

What has happened?
When I took up digital SLR photography just a few short years back, I found Pentax User helpful in numerous (mainly obvious) ways. I have found it less interesting/lively recently, but I'm unsure whether that is me or the site. Rather like magazine subscriptions, after about 18 months the same to...

..... on the Forum and the site in general? Is it my imagination or have things gone downhill a bit lately? Very little quality in the Gallery, very little interaction and controversy on Forum threads. I find it harder and harder to get enthused about the site, is it just me? Opinions please...

I agree with the commentators that see a clique thing going on, but that happens I guess. Personally, from a newbie kind of stand point, the Forum feels a little Aristocratic in ways and I feel like one of the kitchen hands speaking out of turn. I come back because there are some helpful peopl...

... Nigel, I put effort into critiquing your pics ( see reply posted only a couple of minutes ago to your Dorking shots:) ) because you are obviously passionate about your photography. Even though I can find lots to criticise you obviously put a lot of thought into both pulling the trigger and the...

Very interesting stuff is all this. I have been a member for a few months and have come to regard the forum as a valued resource for dealing with my Pentax trials, tribulations and frustrations and totally appreciate the depth of knowledge and experience contained in these pages. As to posting ph...

Some interesting comments here, David. I'm a little surprised that you've become so disenchanted with the whole thing but am sympathetic. I suppose there is less heated argument and controversy than there was because the forum lost so many of its most outspoken members awhile back. I use the Gall...

I really like AG's suggestion. 'Your photos' seems to have a dual purpose. Photos are posted for genuine critique or they are posted for a pat on the back, but it is difficult to know which is which. I think it could be split into two sections, eg: critique section and exhibition section so ever...

[quote:3496ace15f="DrOrloff" It may be enlightening to find out from those Pentaxians who have moved on why they have done so and whether they have gained because of it. I think that the forum ethos of stifling discussion of other brands is a bit counterproductive too. It seems to me that Pentax...

I would love to tell you on the forum jut when I have my posts have been deleted and I've received a warning from the moderators or aessage from moderators. It's sad really as Pentax don't currently offer what I need but I can't wait to get back to Pentax which is bizarre in itself. I can't even ...

Well I can answer your questions Ralph. As regards the video, it was quite possible to post video topics along with stills topics and a couple of people tried for a very short time and it fizzled out with nobody really having anything to say. Where it's obvious there's a new interest, sections ha...

Going back to the original point, I think David was bemoaning a lack of activity in general, and of the more polarised debates and discussions that we've seen here over the last couple of years. Its not just about the type of or amount of photo critique. I think we may have to wait for further devel...

If something is made complicated, only the keen ones show any interest and a lot of people just give up. Just post pictures, enjoy sharing them and comment on ones you want to. It doesn't have to be an ordeal or a test on where something should go. Here we go, back in the "too difficult catego...
