"No, cars should continue to be posted in the Sports & Leisure subsection"
Otherwise there'd be nothing in the Sports & Leisure section  |

Re: Photo Forum Automobile Subsection Poll
No, otherwise why not have a seperate sub-forums for mountain landscapes and lake landscapes - or seascapes for that matter - in the landscape and travel forum.
The average quality of the car images here isn't that high, but there are exceptions.

Re: Photo Forum Automobile Subsection Poll
allan hi....
i know u moderators have this tendency and reasoning behind making more sections and subsections on the forum.... but honestly - it is a bit annoying (at least for me). i get a sneack into the forum... wanna see this and that and those jumps from sections subsections are simply anoing :-))) so many time i just give up to see something this time (may be later).... it works pretty good as it is now in my opinion. and allan, and others like andy... if u have more shots with the lotus cars (new cars, old cars) please post it - im really getting exited :-)))))))))

Re: Photo Forum Automobile Subsection Poll
love the cars. I vote NO despite the fact that I would like to see more vintage shots, as opposed to new shots of vintage cars

Re: Photo Forum Automobile Subsection Poll
Personally, I'd get rid of all the categories. Why do we need to say what cubbyhole our photos fit into? All this does is compartmentalize our thinking. A picture is a picture is a picture.

 Well, that's kind of beyond the scope of the proposal under consideration here, Brent...but I'll take it to Andreas and see what he says! If he starts muttering about "damned Madison liberal anarchists" I guess we'll have an answer! Thanks. Allan

Re: Photo Forum Automobile Subsection Poll
IMO the reason for this poll are meanwhile long forgotten bulk postings of car trader like pix in S&L; meanwhile the traffic has boiled down to a manageable level.
Personally, I like looking into the S&L section. I look who posted, then I move on.

Seriously, though, check out the Shutterfreaks forum (ShutterFreaks™ - Viewing a list of posts) They have no categories in the "Share Your Photos" column, but you can generally tell from the titles what the photos are going to be. One of the problems with putting our photos into categories is that some work never gets seen. I think by the time a lot of viewers get through the first three or four categories, they get saturated and never get into the "Other," threads. Or, thinking they aren't interested in certain subject matter, people might just completely ignore entire areas. Not categorizing the photos would lead to a lot more images being seen, in my opinion.

Re: Photo Forum Automobile Subsection Poll
Nicely argued and quite convincing, Brent.
I'll definately make Andreas aware. Thank you for the suggestion. Poll closes in twentyfour hours. Vote now please. Thanks. Allan

AW: Photo Forum Automobile Subsection Poll
OK, now I am aware
I have a third suggestion: Changing the title of the sports section to "Cars, sport and leisure" or something like that. BTW.: The temporary M8 section is gone and the postings are transferred to the digital section. Regards Andreas |

Re: Photo Forum Automobile Subsection Poll
We can have a "cars" section. If it doesn't work out, it can always be removed, deleted, or whatever. No big deal.
 That's my 2 cents. Ed. .

AW: Photo Forum Automobile Subsection Poll
Dear all,
sorry - 1% of members and such a close result are not really representative. But beside renaming the sports forum I have another new feature that could help: Tags. I indexed the forum last night and amongst the 50 top results where "cars" and - surprise - "ogp". Take a look: http://www.leica-camera-user.com/tags/index.php/ogp/ http://www.leica-camera-user.com/tags/index.php/cars/ Regards Andreas |
