I think that It would be nice to have one more statistic- recent average votes received, maybe in the past 10 challenges, past 2 months, or however you want to calculate it. This would be a nice thing for people such as myself who have entered a lot of challenges, and have improved significantly since, but find having an average score that reflects their current ability impossible because of the excess baggage of low scores from years past.

having such a statistic would provide a more applicable representation of a photographers' performance, both currently by just looking at the recent averages, and in terms of continuous improvement by comparing recent to all-time averages.

I don't think that it would be very complicated, probably no more than a line or two of code, so the issue is probably just whether people would like to see such a statistic.

What do you all think?

You can copy the entires scores area of your profile page to an excel spreadsheet and cut it up any way you like. I like making graphs. :)

Yes, I do, but It's not convenient, and you can't see that statistic for others without undue effort.

I'm getting an "invalid XML" error, but regardless, it still doesn't help when you are just looking at profiles.

I'd love to have that statistic on the page. Perhaps the most recent 25 or last six months. Enough to have to be consistent, yet show growth (or not) over time.

But that would be unfair to those of us who've gotten worse. LOL!!!!

For some reason it's putting a
tag at the end of the URL, remove that and you should be fine!

As for the stat, it's something I'd like to see, along with perhaps a yearly average?
