Another thing to think about is grouping pictures by date posted so that if someone is a regular they can click on the day(s) they may have missed and see just those pictures.
Also: maybe have separate buttons for adding and replacing tags. I tagged something and found that my tag replaced the one which was already there, whereas I simply wanted to add an additional one. That might also solve the prob of how to add multiple tags: you just add one, and then repeat the procedure to add others.
Couple more thoughts -- in the case of duplicate posts of the same picture, it'd probably make sense (time permitting) to remove one (the lower-rated?) and combine ratings and comments for both in the remaining version.
And another suggestion would be to configure the rating system in a way that pictures show up in the "top rated" list only after having a certain number of votes (maybe at least 10 or 15). Makes not much sense to put them into top rated list with only one 10-points-rating :) Or maybe calculate the rating depending on the number of votes (normalize them in a certain way). But I can't think of a suitable formula right now lol
If you choose to order the Images page by "Weighted Rating", it orders by (number of ratings * average rating), which I think is pretty close to what you're describing. It leads to a more consistent ordering where an image with a single rating of 10 doesn't get put to the top. I just chose to put "highest rating" instead of weighted rating on the front page because I actually think it's interesting how it changes more often... if I put "weighted rating" there, we would be looking at the same 9 pictures for much of the time without any change.
If you want to add a tag, just hold CTRL (Windows) or Command (Macs) while selecting your new tag. You'll notice that the tags currently on the image are already selected, so the new one you select should just be added to the others without deselecting them. Same thing for removing tags.
This doesn't make sense to me... duplicates are removed before they're even posted on the site, so they never get rated or commented.
Incidentally, if you go to Images and select the Recently Posted/Abs option, you'll find a pic repeated from the bottom row of Page 1 to the top row of Page 2 ...
Can you link to both of them? I'm not finding it.
Chances are the two pictures are different sizes, in which case the duplicate-checking script fails to recognize them as the same.
I would have a number of preset tags, such as "bicep", "abs", "bodybuilder", "gymnast", etc. On each picture page, people could tag the image with any number of these tags, or remove tags from the picture. Then, on the main images index, one would have the option of only viewing images with a certain tag.
In addition to the tags, there would be a system where each image page can be labeled with the name of the person in the picture, and then on the images index, you could view all the images of any certain person that have been labeled with their name.
Other ideas? Or do you like this?
Overall, I just want to sort and organize the images in some way-- as of this post, there are 2,740 images on the site, and finding any specific one is very hard.
