I don’t know if it has been suggested before but…
 
In the forums or image threads, each time that someone makes a comment and we are subscribed to it, logically when we see the notification and press it, we are being redirectionated to the last content that have been published. With the same logic; wouldn’t it be possible to add that function to the private messages? I think in that way would be more comfortable.

I liked the old up scoring better.
 
I agree, can we bring back 3DTS? It kinda gave us artists something to aim for.
 
A legit front page feature spot that was earned with art speaking for itself.
 
“Trending Images” doesn’t really cut it.
 
That or let us choose which widget we want on the front page in our site settings. Or display both!

It is earned.
 
Top scoring and “trending images” are the same thing, except that trending images selects from the top thirty top scoring in the last three days rather than just the top four.This gives a more balanced view of the top scoring images and also mitigates the all-too-common situation where a very popular artist would dominate the entire box with sequence of images that are all but identical. Each time you load, you see a selection of those thirty images, with the ability to look at the entire list of top scoring images over the last three days.
 
The end result is that visitors are exposed to more great art than they otherwise would be. Given the entire purpose of this site is to provide its visitors with great art, I’m really not sure that reverting to a system that reduces that exposure is going to be all that popular.

I like the new “trending images” specifically for this reason. An absolute top-scoring system has always been a bit arbitrary because it pitted artists against each other. Someone might post an image that does great, but isn’t top scoring because another, more popular artist posted on the same day. If that same great image was posted a few days earlier/later, maybe it would’ve gotten in. Whether an image makes it into that box wasn’t solely based on the image’s own merits, but also the luck of the draw regarding the other images posted around the same time. In that context, de-emphasizing the absolute highest scoring in order to give more variety sounds like a good idea to me.

That’s why I’d kinda rather both widgets. Dunt get me wrong, trending is a good add, but not a replacement.
 
Frankly, getting into a top 30 is way easier than getting into the top 4, so it doesn’t honestly feel like as much of an achievement or reward for doing so when you hit #5 or below, plus no constant occupied trophy spot on the front page.
 
Sure, artists might dominate with multiple, but that kinda made it all the more interesting IMO. Making it so that images with the edit tag can’t occupy multiple spots would be understandable, but if an artist had made two-four distinct images and gotten the spots, that’s something to be proud of.
 
As far as artist popularity goes, sure, that might be a factor, but it hasn’t always stopped up-and-coming/fresh artists from gaining the spots with good work. It made it all the more impressive when someone came out of nowhere with something to stack up to noteriety. As an avid 3DTS watcher, I’ve seen it happen plenty times. Usually, the work speaks for itself.
 
It kinda gave my friends and I something to aim for, friendly competition to see who could get one first, then the glory of holding it as long as possible.
 
Having both would be ideal, still offers the exposure of trending with the reward of top 4.
 
3DTS is less chance with higher reward. Make the top 4 - feel accomplished running with powerful contenders, get a good seat on front page for some time.
 
Now, Trending is Higher chance with much less reward. Made top 30, possibly show up on front page. Sorta feel undeserving if end up in mix with any of the top 4. Don’t really feel accomplished or getting anything substantial out of it.
 
And now, if you do make top 4, it’s like hey, you made the top 4, congrats, you’re….. featured over on this page with , much less chance of being seen or rewarded for it, but hey, you get just as much exposure as all 26 images below yours. Great job.
 
3DTS - you ARE on the front page. The people have spoken.
 
Trending - hey, maybe you’re on the front page among 29 others.
 
The incentive is way too muted. Again, why I think both would be best. Speaking as someone who has yet to achieve a 3DTS.
 
Not to mention, now that All Time Top Scoring page just got alot harder to place on. Nothing’s gonna break that 1500+ upvote ceiling, let alone 2000+ by possibly showing up on the front page on a whim of 4 out of 30 images.
 
@Liggliluff
 
 
Yeah, but it’s not a confirmed front page spot, which is what made a nice reward.

3DTS was not that great, I’m pretty sure if you were hiding explicit and questionable you could actually see top scoring art a few times a month if that.

The switch to trending images beats seeing the same four porn pictures for three days at a time. Granted, most of the top scoring images are still porn but the randomized selection gives high quality SFW images a fairer chance.

It’s kind of a best of both worlds thing right now anyways. Clicking the “Trending Tags” link orders them by score, so if you actually want to see which four are top it’s one click away. Alternately, I am super happy to see four different images each time I swing by the main page.

Yeah, but even a click away makes it alot harder to get seen. A shuffle of 4 is nice, definitely, but should be featured alongside the top 4 as opposed to completely replacing IMO.

Actually, it’d be neat if you could somehow be able to filter out NSFW images from the Trending Images section without actually putting NSFW tags in your filters.
