3rd row of thumbnails...

Hello everyone,
I want a third row of thumb nails, except this one displays the images that were uploaded 12 hours ago, so that way your posts get a second chance to be seen,
And mainly so you can see what was posted while you were sleeping :smiley:

I think this is a good idea… whats your thoughts on this?

from what I’ve noticed every tumbnail comes back one more time after several hours - so yeah, there is a chance to be seen again…don’t know how it works but from observation I’m sure it happens

I’d like to see a third row in which all the posts are listed which have less then three stars.

hmm personally I don’t see a need for that - IMHO there should be a division of the forum into WIP/SKETCHBOOK and finished work. that way a lot of stuff would not be drowned by constantly updated sketchbooks…

It would make the admins life easier.
I think the forums are fine the way they are now.
Good work gets bumped by admins most times.

I noticed they broke the Questions and Troubleshooting into a few categories. I think it could stand to go a step further and be broken down by the various versions and platforms of ZBrush. Autodesk’s forum does a good job of this.

I think this makes sense because if I’m a 3.1 user, I can’t really help anyone asking questions about 3.5RC2. If I’m a 3.2 Mac user, I can’t really help any of the 3.1 PC people asking about displacement maps. The UI and therefore the processes for doing things is different in each version, and from what I’ve seen most of the problems people have (and the solutions) are specific to that version and platform.

Currently you go to the Q&T forums and it’s a cluster**** of questions about everything from ZB 2.0 to the current flurry of repeat 3.5 questions.

Good samaritan that I am, I don’t mind popping in a few times a day to see if I can help some people out, but I’m not inclined to sift through questions to find one that relates to the version of ZBrush I’m familiar with.

But with so much being posted into wrong parts of the forums as being
now, aurick would have to do even more moving into seperate parts of
the forum ^^

If the Q&T was broken down into:

ZBrush 3.5 (PC and Mac)
ZBrush 3.2 (Mac only)
ZBrush 3.1 (PC only)
ZBrush 3
ZBrush 2
ZBrush 1

…I don’t think there would be much of a problem with people posting in the wrong place.

I’m all for breaking up the forum into multiple sections… however I simply cannot imagine everyone actually starting to read all of a sudden, I mean it takes waaaay too much time :P. The number of people who can’t even see ‘Questions and Troubleshooting’ in big letters on page 1 is staggering and I doubt it will diminish :rolleyes:

I see one of the Mods has been reading this topic. :smiley:

Yay for the third row. I think the thumbnails of the second and third rows could be a bit smaller.

funny. i saw they had the 3 rows up. then read your post and it went down. and a few minutes later had the smaller thumbnails. which was a good suggestion.

Smaller is nice :smiley:

I saw that. Made me think…I would like to see this.

WOW, that wuld be awesome, we need to have this like now ;D

But why? I guess i check for updates way to often i dont miss thumbs exept when im sleeping ^^

Thats why with my suggestion of having thumbs 12 hours late, this would mean you can see the stuff you missed while sleeping…
