Hello,

When I look at my gallery it says:
Photography Enthusiast.
Animal & Nature Lover.

No, I'm not! Haven't found a way to change that! Any idea?

Thanks,

Mine is the same.

I have looked everywhere, and there is no means to edit that information.

Kinda lame, if you ask me, that some stranger has added this info, and we, the users, have no way of changing it.

From a Radom sample of Profiles on the front pages of Artists it appears all the Profiles have that tag.

But honestly, who doesn't love nature and animals?

(If so, please identify yourselves so we can vote you off the island!)

So Ricoh has a limit of 5 entries a week for the photo gallery. Since going back up again I have tried entering the limit each week. A couple of times it has let me enter 6 in one week (actually I make all my entries on one day).

Today I have entered 24 images for approval.

Twenty four.

I better quit while I'm ahead, eh?

Exactly. That was just another thing that grated with me.

So you're not a photo enthusiast?

It appears most if not all the photos I've voted on since the relaunching of the gallery have been photos that have already been approved years ago. Some of the photos have actually been the exact thumbnails representing certain categories on the site. Has anyone else experienced this while voting?

Also, I have submitted five photos since the relaunching and only one has been voted on. It was approved hours after submitting it. I have three other photos that were submitted a week prior to that photo that are still pending. Has anyone else had a similar experience in the judging process?

**ismaelg** · 10-21-2019, 05:46 PM

As soon as it re-opened about a month ago I submitted 5 pictures. Still under review. But I submitted one back in May of 2018! Still pending. Not holding my breath...

MarkJerling · 10-21-2019, 06:08 PM

I submitted one on the 10th after reading about the relaunch here and it has already been approved.

I just got myself a nice T-shirt for participating in the relaunch contest!

Same logo takes up the whole of the back. Nice!

Very nice! Well done.

I am just glad to see Pentax active on a number of promotional fronts. Good feeling regardless of whether I like the particular activity.

Yes. In a way it's only a t-shirt, but in another way it's a nice gesture, a good-looking one, and helps with loyalty.

I'll be wearing it tomorrow evening at a photo expo in town.
