Helen Solves a Nagging Buzznet Mystery

 

Have you ever had a “Featured Photo” that didn’t appear on the Featured page?  (One in three of mine doesn’t appear on the featured page. But that’s not what I’m here to talk about.)  What’s annoying about that phenomenon is that someone went through the trouble of viewing your photo, decided it was nice enough to hit the “Suggest” button, and most likely left a comment.  You would like to thank your friend, but have no way of knowing which friend it was.

I have been frustrated by this in the past, but lately have found a way to discover who these mystery suggesters are. And I’m pretty happy that I was able to do this without bothering Mark about it.

The problem is, I think, that when a person suggests multiple photos, only one of the photos they suggest can appear on the Featured page at a time. (I don’t know how it is decided which photo they suggest appears.)

So the solution to finding out who suggested your photo so you can drop them a ‘thank you,’ is simply to do the following.

* Go to the Featured Photos page.

* Start looking through the featured photos.

* When you find one that was suggested by one of your friends, click on your friend’s name.

For instance, I see that “desert” suggested a photo by millieann. I click on “desert’s” name.  The following page shows me all the photos that were suggested by desert.




 

And Voila!  There is my photo of the Necco conversation hearts. So now I know that desert suggested that photo.  THANK YOU!!  (I was lucky that time, cuz it just happened to be the first name I clicked on.)

I hope this helps some of you.  Happy hunting, and let me know how it goes.

And now, from the Department of Additional Advice You Didn’t Ask For:

Here are 3 songs that are terrific in making a workout session on the stationary bike at the gym go faster:

“Paper Chase”  by The Academy Is....

“Constant Illuminations” by Funeral for a Friend

“Take My Hand” by Simple Plan

Try ‘em!

luv....helen...xo

But what happens when none of your friends suggested something.........And I could have sworn that I've seen someone who suggested more that one photo on the featured page.......OH I'm still very confused about the whole thing........I have many that never showed up on the featured page or were removed shortly after and I've also seen more that one of mine on there at the same time !!!!!!!! EEK !!!

yes, if someone who's not your friend suggested it, it would probably be too much trouble to find out who. but i would say that would be a rare occurrence.

about the photos disappearing from the featured page, that definitely does happen. that's why if you want to find out who suggested it, check the featured page asap after you get the notice from buzzbot.
