There are other sites you can do what you are asking (Flickr etc) - me personally I don't see the benefit of this - this is after all a Shipspotting site not a photographic site.

You may note that WILHELMINE has an extra deck, so the sponsons are most likely to be to assist stability.

As has been mentioned, the number of photos on the site counter isn't changing - may also be a pointer to the issue?

Maybe part of the answer will be when we can filter the groups we want to view - I know I lose interest scrolling through when I get a whole string of vessels I'm not interested in posted en masse. I'd say a limit on posting would help but could be difficult to control.
I will also say that I'm guilty of looking at thumbnails and not opening all the photos - I do however hit the like button to show interest - if we do get the facility to view likes that would also show how interested the viewers are.

Owen,
I think the website is fine, it's just certain elements work differently to the previous incarnation.
The "most popular" answers itself - they may be old B&W images but some would say that the ships were better looking in those days so do have merit. As the thumbprints are better on this new site you can view the photos quite well without opening them, hence the lower number of hits. Maybe the B&W photos are more interesting to "people who want to see pictures of ships" so are then being opened, giving them more hits? Some of these B&W photos are from long time ship photographers scanning their own negs/prints who want to "show their hard work".
Pieter,
Your comment on the original purpose of the site - "because there is no website at the moment for shipspotters to show their work" - quite a few of the old B&W photos are doing just that, from well established shipspotters. Maybe when we can filter the groups things will be better for each user.

Any update on this feature - there are certain categories I really don't want to see

Has been sluggish for a few days now for me - can't say I've noticed any difference in photo size though.

Hi Pieter,
Sounds good to me - would it be easier to select categories you don't want? Probably less of them than wanted
