Congratulations, Chainer -- you've really got it fine-tuned now. If I can make one final icing-on-the-cake suggestion -- how about a second 'tab' menu for cross-referencing two criteria, like -- for instance -- 'athlete' and 'abs' or 'biceps' and 'lats'?
All I can say is NEVER resize the pics please!! I am sick of people compressing pics way too much to save a few KB. That said, there should probably be a limit on the size you can upload.
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.
Edit: I added the new tags, except for "natural" which I think is redundant, as most girls/women on the site probably fit that description.
Yes, it should be possible to keep track of all the images that you haven't yet viewed (though I would most likely do it with a database, not a cookie). I don't really see the point, though-- can't you just start from the first page of the image gallery and browse backwards through the pages until you start recognizing the images?
It shouldn't be hard to implement, however, so I might add it as an option under "Account Settings" if I have time. I'll post here if I do.
I agree, 3.5 MB is quite a large download for an image. I'll consider decreasing it if there's support for it, to maybe 1 MB.
100 KB is too small of a limit, as lots of quality pictures are above that. If you're stuck with dial up, well... it's not good for you, but don't expect everyone else to adjust to you.
By the way, if you have a good browser, you should never have to resize an image with a large resolution. For example, when you view an image by itself, Firefox resizes it automatically to fit the size of your browser window.

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.
1) Yep, that's sorted ...
2) I guess that's sorted now also -- I did, however, see two versions of a couple of pics while you were still organising the site upgrade.
Would that be possible? Some sort of cookie keeping track of what images have been posted since your last visit etc. Alot of galleries do it, so it shouldn't be impossible.
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.
Oh didn't see the weighted rating option. And you're right... it wouldn't be that interesting on the front page. So, forget my idea. :)
I notice that some of more recent posted photos are pretty good sized, KB wise. For people stuck with dial-up, (yes, dial-up!), page downloads become excrutiatingly slow. Once a large file is downloaded, many times it needs to be saved then re-sized in order to make it viewable as a practical matter. Most photos seem to be suitable when posted in a range around 100KB or even smaller. Might be something to consider. May save a lot of upload and download time for many people. Thoughts everyone?
I'm not sure all of those will be added, as I don't want the tags box to get too big.
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.
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.
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

The problem was that I forgot to close the drop-down menu where you select the image tag... Firefox (my browser) ignored my mistake, but yours probably thought that the rest of the page was a part of the drop-down menu and it didn't know how to deal with that.
the tags "lats" and "traps" would be a great addition too.

Does it consider the pictures' histograms at all?

Nice shot, of course -- when you remove duplicates, do you merge their ratings/tags/comments?
This thread is to help me decide whether I should lower it to 1 MB or thereabouts.
Thanks... again, deleted the smaller one

Nice shot, too ...
I feel like the other tags ("abs", "overall physique") cover that pretty well... if I added tags for clothing the list would get way too long.
