Popular page listings

November 17th, 2015
Why do some photos which reach popular page not go on the list you can look up of all your popular photos. Anyone know? Can it be sorted?

Like when you put in

@neatz

Sorry, I don't know the answer but I've created my own tag for my PP photos: quietpurplehazepp

I think your own tag, like Hazel is a pretty good option, I used Alexis link and it shows my current PP photo, but I wouldn't know if it had missed one without going through them all.

@neatz Like many folk on here, I really appreciate Alexis making this facility available to 365 members. Alexis has no connection with 365Project other than being a member like you and I - this list is a private initiative on his part. It's normally pretty reliable, but a couple of my shots have slipped through the net recently too so maybe some gremlins have crept into the system. I'm tagging Alexis @abirkill and perhaps if he has time he could comment on what might be happening.

@quietpurplehaze @pixiemac @vignouse There was a change to how the popular page was generated and broke the process that Alexis had created.

I have tagged my photos that had made it to the Popular Page with pp and also pp-byrdlip so that I could find my own and those with others. just a thought.

Alexis' link works most of the time, and all your photos are tagged with popular and or trending page, so even if it doesn't show up in the link he created, you can tell by looking at the right column where the photo stats are located. If you want a place where you have a full set, then the best thing to do is create your own tag, as others have recommended, and then if one of your is on PP but not on Alexi's list, you can add it by hand.

Can I play devils advocate here and ask why it's so important to you to create a list of your pp apearances?

@barrowlane my first year I barely got on popular page and now have nearly two hundred so it's a record of my improvement and still gives me a good feeling. I have only once got on top twenty but I am not able to spend as much time as I used to, so don't get many comments like I used to - so to still get on popular page pleases me and it's fun to have a record.

@neatz that's cool! I was not specifically directing my question at you, or suggesting there is anything wrong with it. When I first started on here it was a long time before I made the popular page and when I did I felt a million dollars. I did actually screen shot the pp page for a while when I made it again and saved it on my computer. Now I still get a good feeling from it but don't keep track of the images any more.

@neatz I've just used Alexi's link to check mine and it is quite interesting seeing my photos that made the pp. There are quite a few I didn't realise had made it. I have no clue as to how or who decides what appears there though.

Hi guys, sorry for not replying sooner. I've not had much chance to keep an eye on this recently, and it appears it's not working all the time, although it does seem to be working most of the time! This makes it tricky to figure out what's going wrong!

It should definitely pick up any photo that's on the PP for longer than 5 minutes, provided there's no outages here (rare) or at my end (also rare). I've had a look at the code and I can't see any reason why it's not working, but obviously some of you are having intermittent issues.

What I really need is to know when it doesn't pick up a photo, while that photo is still on the PP! Then I can take a look at it and see what it doesn't like!

In the mean time, I've added the ability for you to add photos that my system missed at the time, so they can be displayed all together. You can add your missing photos here (but note, they can only be added if they were on the PP according to 365project.org!)

It's not ideal, but hopefully it helps a little!
