That explains why no one knows about it... how did you find out?
Some people, (like me) find long posts with lot's of images is what they like. In many cases the images tell a story. I'm happy with one like for 12 images.
Some post their images one at time. (Not me.) I open the thread and feel cheated.
"What? Only one image? I took three seconds out of my life for that?
"
But the whole thing is, who takes these things seriously?
As for liking individual images.... it could be a good thing I guess, if likes meant something. They are just a way of saying "thanks for taking and posting this (these) images." If you want to know which one you can always run a poll.
I'm sure sometimes people are saying "thanks for the whole series" and not for one individual image. Whatever change is made (if any) would have to keep that in mind.
SO how would that work. You can give 1 like for the whole series and then each individual images so say 6 likes for posting 5 images from one guy in one thread.. Nothing wrong with that I guess, it's just not what we've done to date.
Given the number of posts I have with likes with 6-12 images where I almost certainly would have multiple likes for the same thread, I wonder what my like total wold look like. But, why would we do this again ? We do have a critique section for people who want feedback on their work. A "like" tells you almost nothing, except maybe someone was probably in a really good mood when they looked at your images.
I'm really aware of how my mood affects my inclination to like images, but hey, maybe it's just me.
Maybe for all y'all it' is a serious form of critique requiring thoughtful analysis and focus. A process that needs to be refined to make sure it accomplishes some goal, whatever that imagined goal might be.
