No, not a button to insert a random comment to a photo - bet that had ya worried!
I usually comment on the shots that I find easy to comment on during voting, intending to go back and comment on more once I've finished. I often end up looking at the page full of thumbnails not knowing where to start and go off and do something else instead.
(Having said this, recently I haven't even had time to finish voting due to some 12 hour work days).
My idea is to have a button that would randomly pop up a photo ready for commenting, kinda like the CC do. You would be able to close the popup and hit the button again if you really wanted though. This would do the hard part for me which is actually picking a photo to comment on.
I'm just putting the idea out here - does anybody else think it would be useful? Or should I just join the CC and do it that way? (The automatic right to receive a critique has been removed now hasn't it?)

This might be kind of neat, if it's reasonably feasible without a strain on the site.
Also, I discovered by trial and error that if you click on the little page marker next to the ratings on the thumbnail pages it brings up a new window to let you just add a comment but retain your place in the thumbnail list. It'd be nice if this feature were more strongly highlighted on the voting pages. |

The pop-up idea is neat but Mozzilla users could turn off pop-ups. I think there is also pop-up killer software available. You do mean a pop-up window, correct?

Yes, the same popup window you get if you click on the page marker mentioned by Tina (LOL, those South Park profile pictures are getting everywhere!).
I use Mozilla (Firebird) myself - I honestly don't know how anybody can use the internet with all the popups, popunders, resizing windows, etc that IE throws at you. With Mozilla you can specify which sites are allowed to open popup windows, DPC is of course on my list.

I use Netscape 7 at home and you can turn off popups entirely and then select the ones you actually want to see. So for this idea I could turn on the popups for dpchallenge but I think it's on or off so if there are any advertising or whatever popups for the site they would also show up.
In general, popups are annoying. I think bringing up the selection in a new window would be more acceptable.

DPC has no popups for advertising.

Er. That's what a popup is. |

I guess there are two types of pop-ups then, one you ask for by clicking on a link/button and one that appears automatically when you navigate to a particular page. The former is the acceptable popup, the latter is the annoying one.

Mozilla does distinguish between them. It asks whether you think Javascript should be able to 'open unrequested popups,' for example.

| I kind of like Safari, for all its simplicity, etc. Although there are occasionally a few bugs, since it's still in beta. |

I live by it. it gives you the option to allow certain sites (DPC of course!) to use pop-up windows.
It's worth the $20. |

That way, people are not joining, and not doing anything, and still being bumped to the front. You have to 'pay' a few critiques for the bump. :) I would just join CC. I have been a member only a short time, and I'm addicted. I've given probably over 200 cc's in just the couple weeks I've been a cc. I LOVE hitting that button. The suspense of what in the heck is going to pop up next just kills me. lol |
