For me, this new feature works awesomely!
Finding me only images of the women and type physique I like the most.
The site was great as it was.
But thank you, Chainer, for this new feature and your willingness to try new things and not just leave well enough alone.
I changed it so it no longer recommends images you already favorited or uploaded.
@Chainer: can it also exclude women I've subscribed to? I would think it's likely people (like myself) are already pretty familiar with someone they've subscribed to, making an image recommendation less valuable to them.
And for people like me who don't favorite a lot of images, the recommended ones might as well be renamed random images.
Or it could be seen as a way to encourage users like yourself to participate more in supporting your fellow uploaders by adding more to your favorites list. This is a feature that most, if not all, social media platforms have. Yes, I was once like you before, but I got tired of seeing the randomness in my recommendations on Youtube so I decided to start liking videos. After a few days the recommendations became spot on (for the most part).
I dunno, the main page is getting a bit overencumbered now. And for people like me who don't favorite a lot of images, the recommended ones might as well be renamed random images.
It would be good if it was possible to turn these boxes on or off on the main page.
Scroll down on the front page to see it (you must be logged in and have at least 10 favorites).
It works pretty similarly to Similar Images except instead of starting with just one image, it starts with several different ones from your favorites, and it is limited to the past 2-3 days of uploads.
Limiting the number of times an image can be pinned or how often could be interesting. For example not being able to pin an image before 1 month of the last pin date?
Can we revisit this feature request? Certain photos seem to get pinned multiple times a week. Putting a hold on an image for a month after the last pin date sounds like a great idea.
They show up under High Score. It is true they don't show up under Recently Commented (on the front page) because I didn't want people to be able to front-page their waitlisted uploads by commenting on them.
I just tested, and yes the Favorites entry appears to update to the new image after merging even when it's waitlisted. Since you fixed waitlisted images not showing up in a name search, I guess the only concern would be images merged into ones on the waitlist disappearing from High Score / Recently Commented and so on?
Oh, and I figured out what was throwing me off with thinking I couldn't see my waitlisted images. It's that the pictures most recently taken off the waitlist and posted to the main site (i.e. the earliest ones added) show up at the top of your personal gallery. I don't know that that necessarily needs to change, as the pictures will eventually all end up in the original order again once they're done leapfrogging each other, but it is slightly confusing.
It's only disappearing from the main image listing when using no filters, right? So if someone has favorited it, they should still see it in their favorites.
One minor thing I noticed is that when merging an existing picture into one on the waitlist, the latter doesn't get posted immediately. I think it would be better if it did, so that the picture isn't effectively disappearing from the site for an indeterminate amount of time (depending on how long the waitlist gets).
This site keeps getting better and better.....

I really appreciate the continuous effort put to keep improving this already awesome site.
This is the best feature ever! 🔥
Awesome feature. Thanks Chainer
Once again, thank you. This is great.

Works!) ;D
So far amazing feature! Thank you guys!!
Nice!
Quick note. It's recommending some of my own uploads. Thought you would like to know.
Excellent thanks Chainer

Why do I only get 1 or 2 uploads a day (Direct to site) and then it takes almost the whole day or even longer before I can upload more?

10 days old.

Right, when the pic gets off the waitlist, the "posted" timestamp is reset to that time to ensure the image is at the top of the front page.

That seems like a good change.
