<p>[QUOTE=&quot;stldanceartist, post: 3073368, member: 13307&quot;]My thoughts on this subject:</p><p><br /></p><p>1) Is it really that important for you to receive &quot;likes&quot; for your coins?&nbsp; Because essentially creating a need (a need for your photos to be seen and liked) based on other people&#039;s actions is a losing proposition.&nbsp; You can only control what you can control.</p><p><br /></p><p>2) If your goal is to get as many eyes on your coin as possible, I suggest starting your own thread.&nbsp; I&#039;ve asked questions for my own coins in huge threads (like World Coins: Your Newest Acquisitions) and never gotten any response, but if I start my own thread in the appropriate forum, I will usually have a few responses.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>3) If your goal is to get a specific user to comment on your coin/thread, you might learn how to tag users by using @ and then their username:</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=88829]@lrbguy[/USER] as an example.</p><p><br /></p><p>This requires you knowing which forum users will be experts on your coin or whose opinions you respect.&nbsp; Doing so notifies them, but it is again their prerogative to respond or not.</p><p><br /></p><p>4) As for the imaging question, yes, I take lots of photos beforehand and then save them to my hard drive, so if a discussion pops up that requires a photo of mine (I have used my photo of the 1970 &quot;No S&quot; Proof Roosevelt Dime a number of times here) I am ready to go.&nbsp; If I don&#039;t have the coin imaged already, it usually takes me about 5 min total to image one coin (depending on how difficult it is and how picky I&#039;m feeling.)&nbsp; My worst enemy (usually) is Finder (as I&#039;m running a MacBook Pro and sometimes Finder doesn&#039;t search for file names when I ask it to.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
