Yippee! Now you can sell your photo's on POE

John says>>> I am thinking of asking POE to remove my pics from sale as I don't think I will sell any. I didn't on the other site that was sister to this.

The other site that you refer to John did sell pictures and there are members that can confirm that, but as with POE C&S didn't have the resourses to throw at it and so it died a natural death.

Dave is absolutely correct in what he says about not being too hasty, they are trying to raise as he states, much needed cash to keep POE going so to withdraw over a 'whim' is not the right thing to do and it won't help them. In fact it will do harm if anything, because you also have some good photos here John.

C&S are also aware of the things that need to be changed on POE, the ideas that you guys make really are taken onboard, but it's always back to cash, and so we go on. Remember, this is a husband and wife team keeping POE together, not some IT firm with 20 or 30 programmers to call upon.

Hang on in there John and do what you have done in the past, support a great site from which you take great pleasure, namely POE!

I think it is fantastic that the POE site is managed by C&S without any outside IT firm, I know by experience of running my small site the detail and attention required to opperate the site efficiently, and especially now with the sale of photographs from the site, the work will become far more complex than ever.

Goog luck C & S

It seems we may well be back to the old "chestnut" of a daily limit for uploading I fear, as there seems to be a few people getting a bit over excited with their daily uploads & the site getting swamped with reams of images that quite frankly, very good as many of them are ... are just getting too much once again to view & comment on & many fine images are being overlooked by the sheer quantity coming in. I guess this was bound to happen due to the changes made .. but for me it does take away some of the enjoyment of viewing new images on the site. Think we have said before a max of 10 per day would seem about right ?

I have to agree with you Martin, just too many to stop and look at properly and a phenominal number from  a couple of members.Froma very quick scan through best part of 30 pages!! there seemed to be some very good images iuploaded but also a lot of quite mediocre ones and lot of very similar iimages But as I said previously in this thread I think, they will soon die down when people realise that sales are not gonna happen overnight. And tghe promoting strategy thet Chris and Sarah decide on will obviously have a great effect on where images are sold. Lets just hope that these folk docome to their senses and think of quality not quantity.

This is not a large professional agency that demands a minimum number of top quality photos from its members, it is a great family run site trying to make a bit of money to keep going.
