michali Posted January 19, 2011 Share #1 Posted January 19, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) I've recently noticed that some members have "Sponsoring Member" below their user names. I signed up and paid for an annual renewable Forum sponsorship some time ago. " Erfahrener Benutzer” appears below my user name. Not that it makes any difference to me, I am simply just curious as to the distinction between sponsoring members? In any event I personally feel that everyone who is a regular visitor here should sign up as a sponsor to this Forum. It’s such a valuable and informative resource and very well worth our small contribution towards assisting Andreas in maintaining and running the Forum.

bill Posted January 19, 2011 Share #2 Posted January 19, 2011 Hi Mike, This flummoxed me at first, too. Go to User CP, Group Memberships. You can enable it there. Regards, Bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveleo Posted January 26, 2011 Share #6 Posted January 26, 2011 I am going to jump in here with my (ever so precious) opinion. Being a sponsoring member (or whatever) gets you gallery room for your photos, and I think this is a sadly overlooked space of this website. Having your own gallery is better than you think it is. It really is like a gallery, not like a forum . . . you post your stuff and people look and comment or they look and move on to the next image or gallery. The photo forum is way too socio-political for my liking . . . your own gallery space is perfect and well worth the $$. addendum: it probably works that way because it is your gallery whereas the photo forum is like an open bar room where the image poster is really an intruder.

Dave, I have no way of knowing if the gallery space is overlooked or not. My personal experience is that I do look through the galleries, but I hardly ever comment as this gets into another time commitment thing, and I figure, since this is someone's gallery, they are not particularly interested in feedback (except for praise?). I maybe totally wrong, but this is how it is for me. Look through a few of the galleries (time is usually a big constraint), then move on to the forum (if there is time).

Ece yeh, that's pretty much how I also view the galleries . . . it's a "quiet" place to wander around for a while and enjoy or move on . . . the forum is like a crowd of people often argung with the artist on how she / he should have created the artwork or this or that . . . the forum (for me) is for interaction and discussion, the galleries are "here is my work, enjoy or move along, please".
