Here’s the deal. I’m a long-time NPN member, frequent visitor, and occasional commenter and image poster. When I visit NPN, I want to see all of the newest images posted since I last visited. ALL of them. Regardless of category. I do this just because I enjoy looking at them and for inspiration. NPN, as is true for many others I’m sure, has made me what I feel to be a better photographer. If I see an image that strikes me, I’ll leave a comment or maybe even a “critique” (of course, now, I must be sure the image I’m viewing is posted in a “critique-able” gallery). Until recently, I did this several times a day, happy when I find even one new image post. But with the new design I find myself visiting NPN less frequently. I can’t seem to easily do what I want to do, and I find myself just not going there. Maybe it’s simply resistance to change, and I’ll eventually “get used to it” and again visit frequently. Maybe it’s age related.
You say to click on “Latest” to see all recent images. Is this list really ALL mage posts? In ALL galleries? When I click on the first, most-recent post to see the full image and then want to see the next, there is no “Next” button. Is clicking on the browser back button the only way to navigate to the next image? Happily, when I do that the last image I viewed is at least highlighted, so I know where I left off in the list, although that highlight fades fast. What’s the difference between the “Latest” and “New” buttons?
Sorry for the complaining. The new site is beautiful and presents images wonderfully.
