    We now have a complete category for feature requests. Can you start using that? One feature per thread - and check to see if it's already been requested before you post.

    You can find it here dprevived.com/c/feature-requests/149/

    To have a Challenge feature like DPReview would be great.

    We already have a category for that here dprevived.com/c/challenge-discussions/48/ - is that what you are after or something else?

    Thanks for the clarification Alan! Yes, I tried to register with the old names I had on DPREVIEW, but the system didn't tell me about the successful registration and wouldn't let me go any further. Is it possible to delete these accounts?

    Please tell me the EXACT names to be deleted and I can do it.

    exif info for pictures, right now i am clicking on the original and using a browser plug in to see the exif, apologies if it already can be seen

    What's it matter WHAT the exif is unless someone is asking for help. I find exif quite useless. There are many ways to achieve the same image.

    John

    In the DPR forums I've been frequenting people often are asking for help, and having the exif available is an important first step in that process.

    There are many ways to achieve some images - and few ways (or occasionally, only one way) to achieve some images. Some of those are among the most interesting images.

    But, that aside, reviewing the exif of others' photos is educational, both about the approach and style and technical aptitudes of the person wielding the camera when the image was taken, as well as about the performance and capabilities of the hardware they used and for what it tells us about alternative approaches we could consider with our own shooting.

    My first suggestion:
    An internet forum is a place for communication between people, okay, but it should be a safe and somehow contained space as well. I think, all pictures should be visible only for logged in users, and definitely hidden from search engines, bots, and unregistered users.

    Regards!

    Thanks, we will consider this. At the moment, we just want to get it up and running so we are not forcing people to register before they can see what it's got in it. Once we have a forward stable momentum, we will revisit all this.

    It may save some transfer, but it won't attract new members, I think. I find that when browsing photo forums where I can't see the images I lose interest.

    I think it's pretty normal to lurk at a forum for some time and get to know it before you decide if you want to sign up or not. When it comes to photo forums getting a picture of what kind of images are posted is part of that.

    I like the site, but please redesign the favicon when you have time: I find it hard to distinguish among all the others when I am looking for the website. I suggest that it is too fussy.

    Many thanks for considering this!

    Odd. I find it unusually distinct. Maybe it shows larger on my screen than on yours.

    I'm not seeing a threaded view, or a way to determine which post (or poster) someone's responding to.
    Is there a way for that to be implemented?
    Thanks

    I think the new alternating gray background for odd-numbered comments is too dark and clashes with the white background of both the even-numbered comments and the forum overall. Additionally, the text elements in light gray are pretty low contrast against it, as demonstrated here: webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/?fcolor=7A869A&bcolor=D3D3D3

    Could use another iteration imo.

    agreed i think its a regression from all white. kind of looks like something has been quoted at first glance plus takes away from the fresh white look.
    cheers

    Yeah I agree, the shade of gray is a bit jarring.

    My initial impression of the alternating grey-white background was… hummm, ‘that’s a bit dark’ !
    but, it (renders great) works very well when viewed on my iPhone.

    It might be a bit jarring but I appreciate the separation it provides. It could be toned down, but I’ll take it as it is over what it was prior to the update.
