Feature request

Well, not as much a 'request' as something I'd see if anyone else would be interested in before I bug the big cheese :)

I often find that discussion on photos posted in a gallery are really interesting and fun to follow so one of the 'features' I feel that I'm missing here on RFF is the ability to keep track of new comments on photos posted in the gallery.

My feeble brain could come up with three options for how this could be accomplished;

1) Email notifications
When you post a comment on a photo in the gallery you have the option to also receive email notifications on addittional comments posted on the same photo.

2) "New comments" option
An option in the gallery to see 'New comments' (just like 'new posts' in the main forum.

3) New forum
A new forum in the main RFF for 'Gallery photos - discussions' - where people can start discussions about a particular photo - or photographer in the gallery.

Obviously I have no idea if it's even technically possible but thought it would be interesting to see if I'm maybe the only one that would be interested in something like this or not.

It would be nice to have one more way to ensure that we keep a balance between the technical and artistic aspects of RF photography :)
 
Maybe instead of keeping track of any private messages on one's frontpage, keeping track of comments on one's pics would be more useful. I just never get any private messages and would rather like to know about the comments.
 
It would also be nice to be able to jump to a members'gallery from that member's details page. We can jump to that member's postings to threads but I haven't found a swift way to jump to his/ her gallery.
 
remy, you can get email notification of comments on your own pics now. there is a box that needs to be checked, either when you post the pic or can be checked later on also.

richard, i like the idea but also have no idea if /what is possible.

I think the number 3 option of Richard is very good. Not only we could discuss technicality of a photo, we could also learn about the philosophy and vision of the photographer. :)
 
hmm...maybe a secret set of elves that every week select a photo to be discussed (read: trashed) and have it posted on the front page. oh wait...that's been done ;)

Trivia: I know one of the elves ;)
 
I agree that it would be handy. More than that: once i asked if it is possible to get back to a commented photo:)
