Did something change on the popular page?

April 10th, 2015
I just noticed this week I had two photos that were featured on the popular page, although I didn't actually see them on there. Never had a photo on popular page and then two in one week... not complaining.... just thinking WOW...
either way thanks to everyone who helped them get there.

I noticed, too, that it does seem like the pp has changed some and whatever it is, I love it.

There has definitely been a change. I had three images in a row make PP recently and that has never happened to me in the three years I've been here. I love the changes!

I recently had a pic stay on the PP for five glorious minutes! very cool

I'm not sure how they are skipping the trending page though. .

Yep, mine went on PP strangely easily as well, though the statistics was nothing to brag about. Can't say I complain really :)
April 10th, 2015
Definately not complaining, just made the observation after seeing two of my photos (also with average stats) show up.
April 10th, 2015
I noticed the same! Didn't think I got that many comments and yet I got a couple to show up there too..

It has probably something to do with a recent discussion about the PP and the magic calculations.

There's def been a change, I hadn't had any on there for months and then all of a sudden - lots. I think it's great!

@mastermek

I think you are right. I've unexpectedly had a few shots on PP.
April 10th, 2015
aw man! I thought it was because my pictures were getting better.
April 10th, 2015
Ha ha ha, @brianarmoured ! I thought the same thing about myself! ;)
April 10th, 2015
Yep, it has happened to me too but as most of you say "I am not complaining"
I got a shot onto TP too but not on PP - can anybody tell me how it all works.....

This has been explained/ commented a few weeks ago http://365project.org/discuss/general/25155/is-there-an-issue-with-the-popular-page If you read the comments Ross @scrivna explains it here.
"Currently it tries to show a variety of people, so it isn't crowded by the "same old faces" again and again (which some are complaining about in the Top 20) it tries to feature photos that are much better than that persons average. It's pretty simple really, if you average 5 favs and your photo gets 25, then that's a 5x increase and will probably get on to the PP - it's that simple. No magic."

I average 20 favs ( in January i had approx 5 photos in the PP) and then last monthi i got over 100 favs for one photo - a miracle ..my average went up ...now i cant get on the PP page anymore even i get over 20 favs for a few photos.

@brianarmoured your pics have always been fantastic!
April 11th, 2015
@leestevo ah thank you :)
April 11th, 2015
Same with me!! But thrilled! :)
April 11th, 2015
I had three make it this week! I haven't had one make it to PP in quite a while!
April 11th, 2015
Yes I have had a reasonable amount lately but also some with 15 favs that don't make it there, bizarre

I've had 2 pics apparently on the PP, but have never actually seen them on there. Despite some other pics seeming to stay up for at least 24hrs! Am I missing something? Is there a special technique for finding your own stuff when it's supposedly 'featured'?
