See now, this is how little I pay attention. I didn't even realize we could really RATE photos until I read this thread!!!

BTW I love seeing everyone's photos, I don't know why anyone would rate personal photos low, this isn't a photography website! I do enjoy seeing your photos, my members of the DWT Team!

Lou - on one of my other Disney boards we were running into a problem sort of like this one. We were also to make it so you had to be registered and logged in to leave a rating/comment. And if you are logged in, then your name was automatically connected to the rating - so no one could do anything anonymous. Just a thought.

i need low ratings to keep myself humble and in check.

RU,

I tried to do that as well (make the username show up, etc.) for just a rating, but couldn't seem to get it. Looking into the photo gallery software upgrade and will let you all know. At the very least, the comments shows who posted them. Again, always open to suggestions.

However, in light of recent complaints, I have turned off the ratings of photos until I am satisfied with a software upgrade that will allow the person's name who rated the photo to be viewed at the very least. This way, if someone posts a bad rating, you will at the very least have to take credit/blame for your review.

I only think this is fair at this time. I am of course always open to suggestions. I hope this also encourages more people to share their photos with the rest of the DWT Family.

I really enjoy the photos from other members, good or bad in quality. I have always thought the "rating" system was inane. Glad to see it go. If someone wants to comment that's fine.

JC, I will not be "warning" anyone about the comments they post about a picture, etc. There is no "Anonymous" user on the site.

Also, let's just the "poll" thing die already, OK?

The last remark seems to be an inside joke with you two

Thanks again Lou!
I do appreciate the extra effort you make in all that you do

Say Hi to the Mrs for me

I agree with just about evryone

. I have had and "Anonymous" give me a rating of a "1" or "2" and when I saw it for the first time, it did hurt. Now I really don't give a flip what anyone thinks of my pictures. I still love to read the comments, so please keep posting them

. I posted pictures to share with everyone because I am proud of them and because, sometimes when I look at other's pictures, they bring back wonderful memories for me

.

I do think that if we do bring back the rating system, that if you want to rate a picture, you have to be a member.

If you don't like the picture and don't want to say anything nice about it, DON'T RATE IT!

To those of you who have rated my photos, thank you and keep it up!
