As most of you know, I'm a new guy in this forum (just got here July 4). Because I am not a paying member, in challenges reserved for paying members, I can only comment on entries that are up for scoring. That is perfectly fine with me, but I think the manner that the thumbnail entries are presented for comments can be improved - how about randomizing the thumbnails for each session that the member (paying or non-paying) logs in? In that way,
1. the thumbnails on the first page don't get the unfair bias for getting a member's comments before any other entry does
2. we, as commenters, do not get more familiar with one set of thumbnails over another
3. we won't get "comment-fatigue" too quickly
I hope randomizing the images the way I proposed here isn't too much of a programming chore. Otherwise, forget it. My two pesos... chalc |

I think the thumbnails are randomly different for each user.

| But that does not help if the random pattern generated for one user remains the same for the entire voting week. At the moment, I can tell you exactly what the first 10 pictures I'll see the moment I open the "unanswered questions" challenge. It would be better, I think, if it gets randomized each time I open a session for the reasons I've stated earlier. Just my thought. |

I was actually like this for a time, but the problem was, when you moved on to page 2 of the thumbnails, it would randomise again, and you may get some of the same pictures as on page 1, and sometimes there would be a picture that you never saw. People asked that the randomness was fixed for each user, and so it was done.
