It is not only you Pieter

It is a problem that needs to be fixed

As you say, the button PHOTOS / MOST POPULAR 24 HOURS shows the correct photos and views.

...and I wondering if there is also something wrong with the hits,so few now

Example: 40 photos uploaded in more than 1 hour, grand total of 32 (thirty two!) views/hits among them. :)

With the new design, mass uploading became a bit easier (even if not free from bugs), but I guess we can forget about the views.

IMHO, until such time as the site owners and paying members agree that this was a monumental disaster, it will be very sad.

Hello everybody, there are indications that only a part of the clicks on a certain picture is registrated and if so the number of indicated hits would be too low. This may lead to frustration by many and also give a wrong impression of the interest in this site.

Please IT-team address and check this important item as soon as possible to exclude a  technical error with the indicated hits.

And, once again, please increase communication with the community, that's also very important for all involved. Many thanks in advance for your efforts.

Cheers, Hans

I have noticed since the switch to the new site my photo views have dropped quite significantly, not sure if its because my photos are uninteresting since the move or less visitors to the site ?

Hi Paul, I think the issue is that users a frustrated with the site, still a lot of issues. My big issue is that ads continue to override the pages I am viewing. I previously spent many hours scrolling through, now at best 10 minutes per day. I have now joined fleetmon not as good as the old site but ok. I know what the owner was trying to achieve however does not work for me. Cheers

Hi Tony,

Yeah the ads are a problem clicking on a photo and a ad pops up.I know I spend less time here as it very hard to navigate around the site especially when using a phone to view the site.

Might have to look at another site maybe Fleetmon if things don't improve here which is sad as the old site was very good to use.
Cheers, Paul

Hi I've noticed that all my messages are not anymore in my Message box, also I can not find my Outbox? Are the Messages a Total loss or they will be restored some day in near future?

Hi folks
I'm really not satisfied with the new design; I cannot edit my own photographs? See attachment. My message box is empty, no more outbox?, sometime its shown that I've never uploaded any photographs, it looks like my account with the same name appears twice on Shipspotting? and so on? I'm going to lose my patience with the new design. If you touch or improve something it must be better than the old system otherwise doesn

After viewing and uploading on the new webite for a few months now, I have no complaints at all.
All is working fine and fast (I am using Google Chrome).
Must remark that most editing and viewing I use the button "open link in new tab", it saves time in reloading the page I came from.
Also checking IMO and / or ENI after posting is much easier now: just click on the photo in the upload-screen, click on the IMO or ENI and you can see any possible mistakes right away and correct it.

In fact I do not understand why other members still have issues and problems with the website.
Indeed I do notice that the number of views is low but is the new website now so bad to handle that members stay away?

However still a few wishes / questions
On the page "Most popular photos" add name of the vessel and number of views. The time-stamp that is shown now is not relevant for me.
The button "limit 12/24/36/page etc" is nowhere working, better to remove it?
In the upload screen I have at right a box called "Reminders".  No idea what to do with it. It has now the text for weeks "comments (2)" but why do I have to know that and how can I empty that message box?

Regards Pieter Inpijn

The navigation is clunky and the site doesn't look interesting.
I used to spend plenty of time looking around on the old site but after a just a couple of minutes on the new site, I've lost interest.
That's why the number of views are so low.
The new site design, just isn't interesting.
It's just not a step forward.

I think the reason for low number of views is that the photos on the home page are much bigger then on the old website so no need to click on them
