Looks like random gallery images are back!
Hooray! Thanks Stephen. 😎

A much missed feature makes a long hoped for return, excellent news.

I can see forgotten gems from peoples galleries now....and if I want to really geek out I can just keep refreshing the home page. Brilliant!😉😀

What's with the "Copyright 2009" title on all the images that appear on the RFF main page though?

Curious,

I think it's a cool little extra. Makes the images seem more "professional"!

Sorry to break the enthusiasm but I much preferred the gallery as it was the last few months. It allowed to see which members were active and what they were up to lately without having to go in the gallery interface.

That's a point also ... it's quite strange to see an image pop up then do a check on the member that uploaded it to find that their last post was three years ago and they haven't actually visited the forum for almost as long! 😛

i knew it would take less than 24 hours before a negative comment made it to this thread.
let's all go back and read the 'let's burn the admin folks' for taking away the random pics threads...

It seems to me that the thread is called "Return of random gallery ?". The exclamation point obviously can be interpreted as an invitation for opinion.
But well, horray, random gallery is back if this is what you wanna hear 😛

 

[rbiemer]

I for one whole heartedly welcome the return of the random gallery shots!
Much appreciated!
"Let's Burn The Admins"? Wasn't that one of Randy Newman's early hits? As a writer I mean, I think Edith Piaf recorded it...or, possibly Jim Neighbors. Can't quite recall.

I believe Randy Newman wrote it but Harry Nilsson recorded it. The Jim Neighbors cover was largely ignored.

Well, that does it for me... I won't be posting an opinion -- one way or hte other. :bang:

lighten up gumby...

and as for what i want to hear...i don't post my photos here so i am mostly neutral about it.

my comment was more about pleasing people all of the time...or some of the time...or none of the time.

I WAS being light. 😉

I don't post photos either... and I don't look at too many of the gallery photos either. I'm both neutral and apathetic, I suppose.

Your point came across loud-and-clear, but did nave a bit of a tone like "please don't express your opinions". I got it and willingly comply. 🙂

I'm light as a feather! 😀

 

[Gumby]

p.s. for anyone who is happy about the return of the random images... I'm happy for you.

sorry about that then...i am not trying to drown out opinions here at all.
i was honestly expressing my own opinion though. i feel sorry for stephen at times and jorge before him as there is no pleasing some no matter the time and effort invested.

Yup... when a group gets bigger than one (1), there is a chance for diversity of opinion. Sometimes the diversity is fun; other times it is difficult to listen to. 🙂

When the home page random pics were stopped over a year ago due to strain on system resources, there must have been 200 or more posts in various threads complaining about the lack of random gallery pics on the home page.

Now that Jorge found a way to restore random gallery pics without undue strain on the server's resources, now we have complaining about random pics returning to the home page.

damn.
