Default AutoPost v1.03

To tackle some of the recent posts and critiques, a small update has been made to AutoPost.

You can now specify if you require a more serious critique when AutoPosting your images. By default this option is set to no.



If you select Yes to the above option, the following text will be tagged to the bottom of your post to make members aware of the level of critique you require:



I have also seen there has been some confusion too due to the naming of the General critique forum. As this General forum still falls under the category of Critique and Help, a new forum has been created and an additional option in AutoPost to put any images that are not for critique into the correct forum now called Other Autoposted Images (previously called pics for fun).



I hope this will tackle some of the current problems but for the big one "How to encourage members to critique" may take a little longer.

No problem, if anyone can think of better wording for these changes, please let me know.

I for one, will say that the idea of critiquing is leaving me SOOOO much more comfortable, with this new set up. If someone has gone to all the trouble of changing the NO to a YES, there is just no room for misunderstanding and if there is, I'm sure not going to make it my problem. I operate much better when things are clear cut. I've already jumped in with all 4 feet. I jumped on Merv and he was very gracious...but then again, he hasn't seen my critique yet...

Thanks for the new update, Paul. I think the wording is self explanitory and easy to follow.

Cheers Mate

Good change Paul, sometimes it is fun having a bit of banter about a photo, but you are right sometimes if we are to improve we need some proper feedback. its good we can make the choice now.
