NEW: User Ranking

tookapic.com

For the last couple of weeks I talked to quite a few users about their overall experience with tookapic. One of the most popular complains we got was that tookapic is unforgiving.

That's why today we're launching a brand new user ranking and points system. Starting today - instead of punishing users for breaking the rules we now reward those who follow them.

There will be no shaming for uploading time bent photos. But if you avoid time bending you'll get much more points for each photo. Same goes for keeping the streak.

You now have much more control over the points you earn and how fast you level up, because your level no longer depends solely on the number of pics you uploaded.

The user score is no longer a mystery. You can see exactly how much points you earn for each activity.

New points notification

If you want to see the above window after every photo you upload you can turn it on in your Account Settings - the option is called "Show points notification".

I hope this will improve the engagement and will get new users hooked much faster. And before someone starts losing their mind over the new ranking... this wasn't an overnight decision. It was based on user feedback and we're sure it's simply a better reward system than the previous one.

What's next?

Starting next Monday we'll be adding weekly standings, so even as a newbie you'll still be able to compete with higher level users.

Magda Korzewska wow let's see today how it works! I can see that this feature is default on.

Paweł Kadysz Yeah, it replaced the default "share your photo" window.

Magda Korzewska User's ranking page looks great :)

agnieszka bladzik so you changed whole level thing as well - so i lost my color that was granted I think above 1th of photos. sad. to be honest working on ranking is a bit of waste of resources now.

Paweł Kadysz As said at the beginning - changing the ranking was a result of few weeks of talking to users. Giving up on this now would be a waste of few weeks of work. We need growth and we need users to stay with us, to get hooked. Making the site more rewarding is the fastest way to do that.

I understand you might feel disappointed about losing your level. And believe me, I tried to do the new ranking so I would lose my red ring as well. But those damn 304 people I invited gave me an extra 1500 points.

agnieszka bladzik but before ranking was working separately from levels and colors i think. at least i don't need another 1th photos in this version for next level.

Paweł Kadysz Yeah, few photos, few invitees, some comments and favorites given away and you'll get your red ring back ;)

Magda Korzewska o red ring is really cool, I am sorry for you Aga, you need to buy a book

Magda Korzewska Paweł what about points for photo sales?

Paweł Kadysz You get those. Points for photo sales have "$" prefix :)

agnieszka bladzik but it's not on ranking page

Magda Korzewska Having points for sales maybe helps to have more photos on stock.

Magda Korzewska @agnieszka I do my best to find extra points for you but as you see no way to convince Paweł

agnieszka bladzik i know where my sales is, i ment that they are not listed on main ranking page with all other earning points possibilities

Paweł Kadysz Sales are not the part of new ranking. No plans to include them either.

agnieszka bladzik ok because or previous replay was not clear

Maciej Chomik I really like this idea. Now I will try harder to not break the strike.

Rafał Morawiec That's amazing! Loved it <3

Nilson Menezes Excellent work @Paweł. I hope Long life to Tookapic!

Rafał Bolko Świetne, klarowne ... petarda :)

jenth23 I must adimit I do not like the sign above points. Otherwise, great idea

Paweł Kadysz Fair enough.

Basia super, wreszcie ten ranking jest zrozumiały, dobra robota

Krzysztof Baczyński In many subjects I am orthodox. I do not think that rules are changing during the game. It would be interesting to ask at least the players. Tookapic was attractive and interesting, distinguished by a hard rule - ONE photo of the day taken ONLY that day. Now it turns out that it was changed, during our work. I'm against. What about people like me - who worked hard on themselves to not break the project? Are there already established rules with how many days before / after you can live pictures? Is it any ?? I already see people takingapaping like face, insta, etc, and pasting pictures from last summer because they do not care about the points? What will cause the project to break in such a situation ... ???? I understand fully the financial difficulty (I helped) and the need for new Hero but this principle should be unchanged. Howgh.
W wielu tematach jestem ortodoksyjny. Uważam, że nie zmienia się zasad podczas gry. Wypadało by spytać się przynajmniej grających?. Tookapic był atrakcyjny i ciekawy, wyróżniający się - poprzez twardą zasadę - JEDNO zdjęcie danego dnia zrobione TYLKO tego dnia. Teraz okazuje się, że to zmieniono, w trakcie naszej pracy. Jestem przeciw. Co z osobami jak ja - które ciężko pracowały nad sobą aby nie przerwać projektu? Czy są już ustalone zasady z ilu dni przed / po można zamieszczec zdjęcia ? Czy jest to dowolne?? Już widzę osoby traktujące tookapic jak face, insta itp. i wklejające zdjęcia z zeszłych wakacji bo nie zależy im na punktach? Co będzie powodowało przerwanie projektu w takiej sytuacji...???? Rozumiem w pełni kłopoty finansowe ( wspomogłem ) i potrzebę nowych Hero ale ta zasada powinna być nie zmienna. Rzekłem.

Paweł Kadysz It's always been possible to add photos from the past. Imagine you went on a 7-days trip where you didn't have access to internet. You've been taking photos for all 7 days but you were unable to upload them to tookapic. You come back, download your photos onto your computer and start uploading, one after another. Tookapic detects when the photo was taken and assign the correct date to it. Your project is fine. You didn't miss a day. You did break your streak but your 365 project is still valid.

Hell, you could take photos for a year and upload all of them on day 365. It would still make a perfectly valid 365 project.

Time bending is when you take a photo on Firday but assign a Tuesday date to it in our calendar. The fact you didn't know how that works is awesome because it means you didn't even try to cheat.

Cheating was always possible on tookapic. One way or another people will find a way to cheat. Sure, it's mostly cheating yourself.

The only thing that actually changed now is instead of punishing people for cheating - we reward people like you. People who follow the rules. And we hope that seeing that at least some of the cheater will convert.

Michał After reading post from @Krzysztof I got an idea. How about another profile setting where you can declare if you're an orthodox tookapicer? The consequences of enabling this switch could be for example +0.5 point for each uploaded photo and that you'd get extra warning before submitting time-bending photo. But if you do bend the time, you'd loose some amount of points. Just another kind of a carrot and stick motivation, but only for those who really need it. I can imagine the situation that someone is really motivated to finish 365 project, but after completion he or she just would like to upload nice photos from time to time. In that situation such person could disable this parameter and stay with tookapic but in let's say "less stringent" conditions. On the other hand you could decide to hide non-orthodox photos in your stream or just position them lower.

Krzysztof Baczyński Sorry if I do not understand something. If I see 3 points for "no time bendi", it means that when I add a photo from yesterday I just dgno not get a point or break a project? I do not understand.

Paweł Kadysz If you add a photo from yesterday AND assign a date from yesterday it's all good. It's always been like that.

Time bending is when you take a photo today but assign a date to it that's not today.

You can take photos for a week and add all 7 of them on a Sunday. You'll break your streak but if you assign correct dates to each photo your 365 is good. Nothing changed. It always worked like that.

Krzysztof Baczyński So I will lose points when today's photo I will add tomorrow? That's good. I did not understand clearly.

Paweł Kadysz It's not possible to lose points. It's only possible to earn less. And uploading yesterday's photo today will not even breakt your streak. You'll need at least two days break to do that.

vera It is much more clear! Before I didn't even look at, because I didn't understand anything about these points... I hope it will be much more motivating too! ;-)

noun I agree, I clearly prefer this way to count, even if I loose my place!

Magda Korzewska Polarr v3 does not export exlif data from RAW files, 3 points just wasted :(

vividcolourfabric I had that problem too. My photos were losing EXIFs when I edited them in Luminar. That's why I sometimes use Exifer. It can transfer EXIFs between photos. Of course, I do NOT recommend it for cheating. Exifer should NOT be used to bend time.

Paweł Kadysz Oops. We should write a petition to Polarr to fix that.

Magda Korzewska What is good I run my project not for ranking but to improve my skills. This is the sign. It will be motivation for me to learn something new like PS and Lightroom.

Paweł Kadysz That's the spirit!
On the other hand, are all your photos edited in Polarr and not in Lightroom? That's impressive.

Magda Korzewska I even do not know how Lightroom looks like. From very beggining I use Polarr (I know it from Tookapic blog). In terms of post procesing I am still a virgin :)

Ian Prince Cool! Lightroom? What's that? VSCO on iOS for me :)

Ian Prince Or "exiftool -tagsfromfile source.jpg -all:all destination.jpg" if you prefer the command line :)

Magda Korzewska I had had a short romance with Vsco for iOS as well before I have bought new PC. I like straghtening functions they offer.

Ian Prince I just love how the controls are so ...."delicate" and just ever so slightly enhance the original. It's also makes for a super-easy and very quick work flow, reducing the amount of time in front of a screen giving me more time to spend with my camera :)

Ian Prince If you like straightening, take a look at SKRWT, also on iOS :)

Magda Korzewska in Polarr there is no many possibility so it takes just a couple of minutes to have it done. The problem might be to chose the one to do minor adjustments. Actually I like it but would be good to learn something new. Thanks for sharing new apps.

Satoshi T I remember watching your Magic on VSCO by my own eyes!

Paweł Kadysz Are you sure you have "Preserve EXIF data" selected when exporting a photo from Polarr? Like here: v.usetapes.com/vgUaQq3PGQ - I edited both RAW & JPG files and in both cases I managed to export them with EXIF and dates.

Magda Korzewska It looks like different version i use. I Am use to v3. What is yours? I start to take in Raw just a couple months ago, with jpg it was all ok.

Paweł Kadysz I've just downloaded it from Mac App Store. But I tried with the online version (JPG only) and it works good too.

Magda Korzewska I will have a look again Thanks Paweł for spending time on this

Magda Korzewska :( it doesn't work. I upload windows version, (OMG so many new features) and follow your instruction. Nothing changed. Looking at file data (jpg) I can see date and time, so this is strange.

Daniel Zaleski If you wish to check a new raw development software, I will suggest DxO Optics Pro, free trial version is available and I really like it, but most people use / like Lightroom obviously.

Kazzi damn You, @Magda and @Ian , You really develop Your photos in such simple programmes?

What is wrong with ME!? I want to take classes from You and throw lightroom(s) away!

Magda Korzewska It mighty be convinient for you come to Gdynia not to Nyon. You are welcome :)

Ian Prince Or you both hop in a car and drive down ;) Tooka-roadtrip!

Magda Korzewska This would an adventure!

jewels Super cool, thanks Pawel :-)

Paweł Kadysz You're welcome, but remember, I'm not the one who built it and made it work. I just designed it.

jewels You had the idea, you consulted others and made it happen! So it's on you and it's really motivating and great :-)

Rafael Paweł good job, that's amazing! I liked!

tigg I cannot believe so many comments .... I post here for me .... sure, I had a good streak before the change so that put me much higher on that ranking .... but so what? Never thought that tookapic was competitive .....

Ian Prince I know how you feel, the only person I'm competing with is my better self :)

Paweł Kadysz Great approach. But there are people who need this additional motivation. They like points and rewards. And if that helps them stay motivated to take daily photos - that's enough for me.

Satoshi T I am looking forward to weekly reward, starting next week. I would like to see not only traditional Long-streek-Tookapicer but also newbie's success :)

Satoshi T Now I found Weekly reward tookapic.com/ranking/weekly ! Many different faces are coming out ! Which is very interesting. Thank you @Paweł .

Paweł Kadysz Haha. This is still a work in progress. I'm not sure why it went live. Oh well... Enjoy.

Mariusz Rzepkowski Przydałoby się jeszcze doliczanie punktów za każdy "like" bo to by premiowało jednak również jakość a nie tylko ilość. No i like jest podstawowym sposobem wyrażenia uznania dla czyjejś pracy, więc powinny mieć swój wpływ na ranking.

--------------------------

It would also be worth adding points for every "like" because it would also reward quality and not just quantity. Like is the basic way to express appreciation for someone's work, so they should have an impact on the ranking.

Paweł Kadysz Myślałem o tym. Zauważ jednak, że w obecnej wersji rankingu wszystko za co dostajesz punkty jest zależne od Ciebie. Chcemy po prostu uniknąć sytuacji "handlu" czy "wymiany" like for like. Dlatego nie ma dodatkowych punktów za lajki czy obserwowanych.

Wyjątkiem są punkty za "Featured photo" i "Photo of the day" - ale i tu nie bardzo masz jak tymi punktami handlować bo oba te tytuły są przyznawane anonimowo.

Mariusz Rzepkowski Myślę że handel punktami nie dotyczy tookapic, a nawet jeśli to można uprawiać go na bardzo małą skalę. Osobiście upierał się nie będę, ale temat zawsze warto wrzucić w przestrzeń publiczną i zobaczyć czy przypadkiem nie zyska wielu zwolenników.

Można by dodać jeszcze różne modyfikatory, np. mnożnik punktów zależny od tego jaki masz streak, ilość zdjęć dzień po dniu, albo jakieś bonusy za każdy ukończony projekt 365. Tylko nie wiem czy nie było by to już mnożenie bytów ponad normę. Choć jakiś stały punktowy bonus za ukończenie projektu w sumie był by ok, przecież to jest właśnie cel bycia na tookapic, a więc jego osiągnięcie powinno być wysoko premiowane.

agnieszka bladzik i like the idea of bonus for 365 photos, as i'm still sad after this ranking went live, this was like - i gave you diff color after 1th and now i will take all away

jokele I like the idea of the 365 photo bonus as well. You can buy points by buying t-shirts or photo books - but when someone has finshed his project this isn't worth any points? Isn't finishing the project not one of the main goals here?

FlyteWizard I don't like that buying t-shirts or photo books awards points.

I bought a photo book last year, and it never made it to Canada. I never received it. Same with my t-shirts. At one point a t-shirt was a reward for writing blog entries, and I never received them either, they never made it to Canada.

So it's sad to have those purchases rewarded when you can't purchase them due to location.

Paweł Kadysz Dominique, I'm sorry that you feel that way. I would probably be mad as well. As far as I'm concerned, whenever you bought something and it didn't reach you - you were given a full refund, is that right? If not, please send me an email and we'll get this fixed asap.

Your packages were probably held at customs. Custom officer should contact you to get this situation sorted.

I'm not sure if there's anything we can do on our side. Never had problems sending packages to US, Japan or even Australia. It seems like only Canada holds those at customs for some reason.

FlyteWizard The refund was given for photobook, I should have mentioned that above.

I'd be cool if something was able to be worked out, but I don't fully understand why Canada holds them at customs.

Magda Parkitna Zgadzam się z Tobą Kamil. Lajki moim zdaniem nie są miarodajne.

FlyteWizard As someone who dislikes all the numbers to tookapic, I'm not a fan of this update, but I do like this system a lot better than the previous ranking pages.

Gogi Golzman great feature for those who need a bit more inspiration =]
another way to make Tookapic alive!

Satoshi T I think there are two directions regarding reward.
One is the effort to maintain community. Such as inviting, giving star to others, buying T-shirt, writing many comments.

Another direction is the reward for improving the quality of the photos of the site. For example, a lot of sales, received stars, featured, received likes.
I imagine @Paweł 's working on ranking is mainly focused on the former -In fact, I ranked up by buying T-shirts on August 15th-.
On the other hand, I think that It has received antipathy from high-spirited users who are strongly motivated to be aware of the quality of the photos of the community.

I think that it would be better to create a ranking of users who contributed to improve the quality of the picture ... at a later date.

Paweł Kadysz We all know that number of likes does not always reflect the quality of the photo. But so far I haven't seen bad photo receive photo of the day title or getting featured.

Magda Korzewska I think this is good aproach not to inclulde likes. It will reward more "popular" projects. I am suprised you can get more points for Favorites instead of Featured. IMO it is easier to get favorites as this is on daily basis and based on more people than feautred, or am I wrong?

Paweł Kadysz Photo of the day is awarded by the community - don't you think that's worth more than a featured title given by some guy who has a particular taste in photography? :P

Magda Korzewska This I don't know as my photo has not been picture of the day yet :) And I do not have idea how many people need to star it. If it is like doznes maybe you are right. What I know is how proud I was to have first, second and the last photo featured. How the picture need to stand out to get this little blue flag in the corner. This is just my feeling,

Paweł Kadysz Photo of the day is the one that got the most stars the previous day. So it might be 100 stars. But it could also be 10.

Magda Korzewska Maybe it is good idea to have green flag on picture of the day and dedicated page for it? What do you think?

Magda Korzewska You might be right let's try to take such photo which deserves dozens of stars, yeah!

Paweł Litwin There's a problem with RWE on this page tookapic.com/ranking
Table below the graphs, doesn't fit the mobile screen width.
And by the way - I love clean design of the Tookapic webpage. ☺️

Hanna Gawrychowska cool idea - like positive user training

but in my opinion @agnieszka is right - for 1000 photos should be extra points and color regardless of the score in the ranking

Romanos Kalamatianos I like the new ranking system. Project completion could also earn points.

Paweł Kadysz Does +365 points for completing the challenge sounds good and fair to you? @agnieszka @Magda @Romanos @Hanna ?

agnieszka bladzik yes, sounds good

Hanna Gawrychowska yes yes yes

but provided that for each completed 365pic = 365 points

Magda Korzewska super idea :) what about 730 points for second year and 1095 for third? I am too demanding I think ;)

agnieszka bladzik i like it even better :D

Romanos Kalamatianos Yes! I also like @Magda idea for more points for second, third year and so on

Mariusz Rzepkowski mi pasuje :-)

Hanna Gawrychowska I like your idea, of course

Piotr I also think it's good idea.

Krzysztof Puszczyński Well i completed my challenge and then i restarted it (unfortunately! my bad). So i'm rookie again. This ranking does not change anything to me. Be true to yourself :)

tania True.

Magda Parkitna It is great idea.

Comment was deleted

agnieszka bladzik there is algorithm, so you can easily see who time bends photos, unless they got rid of exif data

Rafał Morawiec WOW, there's a weekly ranking. You're amazing!

Hanna Gawrychowska Let me share with you my thoughts and present my position about the ranking.

The new rules have caused a lot of changes in the ranking (for me to be positive) but ... in law there is something like the rights acquired and it should not be so that changing the rules during the project results in the user dropping to a lower level - therefore, I suggest that you:

1. Level (border color) = number of images
2. Ranking = points according to rules

As a rule, idea of tookapic is project 365/365 and every participant should have the right to choose whether or not he wants to participate in community life - not everyone has such a need - but on a portal such as tookapic, where we participate in projects 365/365 user level and color of his border it should not depend on his finances - and the points in the ranking depend on, among other things, the purchases that the user will make - just buy two shirts and a photo album and get 250 points. And for point ranking this is ok because ranking should reflect user activity in the community - that is why, for example, there are points for comments.
But for the level already no - here should decide only the number of pictures.

In the end, scoring is a fun game that motivates us to be active and shopping
So let's have fun and spend money (for a good Tookapic), but do not take away those who have no money or are not active (do not want, can not, do not have the right) the right to 'reward' for the number of inserted photos.

120mr Great approach, you found good words!

Darek I support the idea of coloring for the number of photos. Ranking is great but border colors should be for photos.

Paweł Kadysz I agree that not everyone wants to participate in the community. Some of the users only want to do their 365 projects and not post a single comment. That's fine. Aaaaaand - they will still level up pretty fast (if they follow the rules of 365 project).

Unles you plan to buy a t-shirt every week, uploading photos will still give you more points than buying stuff.

As you said - some poeple don't want to participate in the community. The ranking and the "competition" is a part of community. It's not a part of 365 project.

When we had levels independent of the user score it was confusing. Some of long time users (I mean like more than 2 years on tookapic) still didn't know what those color rings around the profile photos meant. Now it's all clear.

I'm aware of the fact that those changes will not please everyone. And it's impossible to make everyone happy.

Rafał Morawiec IMO better will be half border for no of photos and half for points :D

Artur Łobocki I didn't get "no time bending" with yesterday photo :) of course it was made and upload yesterday.

Paweł Kadysz No exif in your pic.

Satoshi T I regret that @Artur . If we use a different software than usual, we'd better to check whether the software thrown away the Exif...

Magda Parkitna Z tym exif'em to różnie bywa. Nie sprzedaję zdjęć, więc w większości przypadków je zmniejszam. Zresztą są miejsca w naszym kochanym kraju i nie tylko, że net słabo chodzi i wielokrotnie przy wrzucaniu foty system prosił mnie o zmniejszenie zdjęcia. A że posiadam aplikację na telefonie i tablecie, która ucina exif'y więc przy moich zdjęciach ich często nie ma. Co do zasady, że nie otrzymuję się punktów za takie fotki jest dla mnie ok. I z tym nie zamierzam dyskutować. Ale prosiłabym, aby nie stygmatyzować ludzi z takimi zdjęciami, bo to nie jest równoznaczne z oszukiwaniem.
BTW. Może ktoś poleci mi darmową i przyjazną w obsłudze aplikację do zmniejszania fotek na Androida i koniecznie na Windowsa, ale nie 10. Nie zamierzam inwestować w żadne LR i PS, bo fotografia to jednak drogie hobby, a dla mnie to jest cały czas tylko hobby. I staram się ciąć wydatki, gdzie tylko się da.

Basia mogę w pełni polecić Snapseed na androida, nie tylko do przycinania zdjęć, ale też do edycji zdjęć na telefonie

Magda Parkitna Spapseeda znam. Przycinać można a jakże, ale ja mam na myśli zmniejszanie zdjęcia, bez przycinania kadru tylko chodzi mi o zmniejszenie "ciężkości" foty i jej boków w pikselach. Mam najnowszą wersję, ale może mi coś umknęło.

Paweł Kadysz Nie jest i dlatego zdjęć bez exif nie oznaczamy jako "oszukanych" a jedynie nie przyznajemy im punktów za poprawną datę.

Basia wyszedł brak zrozumienia u mnie, a próbowałaś IrfanView? nie próbowałam w nim zmniejszać wagi, ale podobno sobie z tym radzi

Magda Parkitna Irfan View jest ok i tu zmniejszanie zdjęć działa bez problemu i zachowuje exif. Mam go na komputerze, ale nie zawsze komputer mam ze sobą. To stacja robocza, ciężka. Najwygodniejsza byłaby apka na telefon i to na Windowsa. Nie pozostaje mi nic innego jak się przesiąść na Androida w smartfonie. Szkoda.

Kazzi IrfanView używam od kilkunastu lat i nadal jest niezawodny, trzeba pamiętać o kliknięciu "Keep original date/time" przy zapisywaniu

Darek I wonder what are the negative points in the weekly ranking?

Marek Szymczuk This week vs previous week.

Darek Ok, now all makes sense, thanks: D

Chen YiZhou Awesome! I have a small question: is it possible for users to have maybe one chance/month to upload 'yesterday' photo with normal points? Sometime I have no time to upload because of work or urgent things...

Paweł Kadysz That's exactly how the streak works. If you upload yesterday's pic today it will not break. You need 2 days break to reset your streak. Read more here: help.tookapic.com/what-is-stre...

Basia You can add yesterday's photo today without losing points, as long as I associate well for two days and you do not interrupt the streak

Chen YiZhou got it, thx:)

marek My little suggestion about the rating system:

There are a lot of untitled photos, many pictures also have no description.
Could be, for example, 0.5 points for photo title and 0.5 point for description (for example min. 140 characters)
The benefits in my opinion would be mutual to all, what do you think ?

Maciej Chomik Really good idea. I really like to read the history of the pictures that in my opinion are really good, this could encourage people to write something about the picture.

vividcolourfabric It's a good idea but I think people will write just some random letters. They won't write a story. Just because they want a couple of points.

Paweł Kadysz That would be my main concern.

Kazzi yeah, but cutting points for untitled photos really sounds like a good idea.

marek Now you can probably write a hundred comments "Super!" and you will get 10 points :)

Aga Ka To be honest I rather see a title / read story behind the photo when its there for a reason other than ''need to write something to get the point''. To me, sometimes, a title makes a photo. There are photos which I liked in the past because of the title. The title made me feel/think differently about certain photos, which I may not have ''liked'' otherwise, if you know what I mean. If we start to reward points for titles, okey, but a lot of them will not be creative/honest anyway, they just be there for the score. Just my 2 cents. :)

Ian Prince And often finding titles for photos after hundred or so photos is not that easy any more ;)

Nilson Menezes Most of my photos have title and description.
I think even all photos of mine have a title that I try to say a bit more than the image only. Many photos have a description, sometimes the story behind the photo, sometimes just one complementary idea or a description of the composition. I think it is a good idea to give points to titles and description but for me, it is not mandatory

Satoshi T There are certainly powerful photos that let me click favorite without reading the title or description. In many case, to me, there are also many photos to review again as "I see!" After reading the explanation.
In general, I like pictures with short, easy-to-understand explanations. But I don't think it need to give points to.

Nilson Menezes Generally, I open the photo to make my judgment, thumbnails size is not enough, especially for vertical clichés. I would even prefer that people cannot be able "to like" a photo without isolate such photo from another, avoiding then "the massive approbation".
This possibility surely will reduce the number of likes. One idea to palliate this, it is to provide an icon on thumbnails views to select photos in a kind of carousel (in reality a listing of links) to a further viewing and judgment...

Tomasz W Is there any page where the pics titled "photo of a day" are published? I noticed that this achievement is extra-scored but can't find page with this pics.

agnieszka bladzik for now it's on 'feed' tab available in hero/superhero account

Satoshi T I think that today's "photo of a day" is only displayed on the right side of the "feed" page. I think there is no way to see pictures of each day in the past.

Tomasz W ok, thanks. :)

Tomasz W so it's another reason to update to hero ;)

Satoshi T Yes! 😃
