I was wondering if anyone could tell me why this happens. My photos hardly ever show up on the browse by day. The only reason I can think of why is that sometimes I upload them with the wrong date, and edit and change them later, but that is rare. I seem to never see my photos come up on the daily boards.
Are we not able to see our photos when we browse, or something like that?
There are several pages for each day, to scroll through them you need to do the page thingy at the bottom - the arrows at the side take you from day to day.
I agree with Paul. I will see mine for a few minutes and they disappear. I can never find them on the various day pages. Just drop from sight. I was curious also.
@abirkill yep but it was not there before. I'm pretty sure the moon shot and the lady in red were beside each other cause I looked at the moon shot for the data :)
@k1w1 They move around regularly as they are ordered by popularity, so today's photos will jump around quite a lot. It should be there, just not necessarily always in the same place.
It's possible it might take a few minutes for a photo to show up after it's been uploaded, it depends how often the page updates.
@abirkill I used the tool and couldn't even find my username in the list so I am assuming none of my photos are there. I looked up pfassett, and nothing.
So here's what I noticed. The photos will only sort themselves by the date that was used when they were uploaded, so even if you change it later after it's uploaded it still shows up on the original date.
@pfassett I just checked your most recent 8 photos and they all show up correctly on the Browse By Day page on the date you've selected to upload them to. It wouldn't surprise me if changing the date of a photo caused it to at least temporarily show under the old date, but I'm not seeing that happen with your recent photos.
It looks like there are definitely some delays in the current day's Browse by Day page updating -- it says there are 22 pages of photos, but it's been saying that for a good two or three hours (and it's not reasonable to assume no new photos have been uploaded with today's date in that time).
I'm guessing there's probably a batch process that updates the page and it doesn't update as frequently as one might hope, so it seems quite likely, based on the evidence, that photos take a few hours after upload to show up on the Browse by Day page. This could well also cause an update to a photo's date to take a few hours to show, as well. This might explain the issues that people are seeing.
This happens to me as well. Sometimes I have to wait until the next morning to find them. It is, as others have said, done by some kind of ranking. A photo that you've just uploaded is rarely there.
Ive had a feeling this has been happening to me for a while,I posted my photo about 3 hours ago and it must have got posted because someone commented on it that i have never heard of and when i tried to look for it theres nothing there.Anyone know whats going on?Thank you.
I've uploaded four photos so far on different days. They appear in my project thingy, but nowhere else that I can see. I've done searches on tags, days, latest. They just seem to have sunk without a trace. If I can't see them, presumably no one else can either; sort of defeats the whole object of the exercise. I wonder how many drop out at this point feeling disillusioned?
@live365 Three out of your four photos appear on the appropriate Browse by Day page (your latest doesn't seem to, but if you've only recently uploaded it, it seems to take a while). All of your photos show up under the tags you've given them. All of your photos would have shown up on the 'latest' page, but there are so many photos uploaded that any one shot usually only stays on there for less than 10 minutes.
You are, however, not following anyone and haven't fav'd anyone else's photographs. Like any social network, you generally need to put in some time to follow people, comment on their photos, encourage them, and so on, if you want strangers to do the same to you. When you do this you'll find a lot of people will reciprocate and encourage you -- the community on this site is amazing, but you need to participate to get the benefit.
If you simply upload photos here and do nothing else, you have to be a pretty outstanding photographer to get noticed -- there are about 2,700 photos uploaded to the site every day, and without having any followers (which you get most easily by commenting and following others), your daily photo will all too easily disappear under ~2,699 others.

Was set to the 26th, which is today. I guess not.
