Anyone else think it's a little funny, maybe slightly frustrating, when you click on "recent photos" and you scroll through, you come across a whole bunch of old photos (some of my own) that haven't even had recent comments on them. I think I've seen several of mine from like 2015 with the most recent comment being from 2015. Is that maybe due to someone just liking the photo? But then it should show up in my recent activity.

No, I think, this is due to the fact that we are all suddenly decided to comment EVERYTHING. :-)

I'd accept that theory except for the fact that I've seen 4 of my own images there that haven't had any recent comments and they're from years ago... hence my question.

There is a version of the page which shows random photos (rather than recent ones). Is that the one you have bookmarked perhaps?

Maybe. Not sure. Haha it's no worries just surprised me and was curious if it was happening to anyone else. Really, if you'd only notice if you posted your own images. It could be they have new comments and I'm just not getting the notifications. I'm headed to check...
I got a response from the Adam! Wow! #privledged haha. Thanks Adam, I'll look into it.

Definitely not commented on. Most recent comments on the ones I've seen were from 2018, likely the K1 giveaway. I'll have to check on what's bookmarked... if I even know how to do that. I don't remember bookmarking anything. I always manually type "pentaxforums.com" in the address bar and navigate from that home landing page to the forum...

Ok. So when I click the "recent photos" link, at the top of the page I notice it says "enjoy this random selection of 969 images from our users." So it's not recent but random. Not sure how to change this...
