The "Show Me..." threads, as it was pointed out by several people already in this thread, are topics which are not of interest to many contributors and they can become irritating when one is looking for substantial information, such as announcements, problems experienced while working with the site, etc. There are already several older Show Me threads which are left open. However, it is important that as members of a community each of us considers also the other people who visit, browse, and read through the site's various sections. Having more and more new Show Me threads can very fast lead to a flood on the boards. If we allow this to happen, new users who are trying to find the answers of their questions on the boards will be obstructed; older users who try to follow the latest happening will be annoyed because of the extra time needed to browse the boards; and also - do not forget the admins - it does cost us time to find posts which need our attention, and important questions can get lost in the load of Show Me threads. If you want comments on your photo by other people - as for criticism in the Positive Criticism board. If you simply want to tell someone else how much you liked their image or ask a question about it - leave a personal comment. If you're having thoughts concerning a certain stock topic and wish to share them - write a blog and include some images there - this way you can stir a much more useful discussion. If you are a new or relatively new user - browse the images on-line, check the blogs and boards, find the people with same or similar interests and strike a conversation with them. You will find soon that such things will actually help you improve as a photographer and also get to know a lot more about stock from a different stand point. :) posted in Why does Admin.......
