[QUOTE="krispy, post: 1941099, member: 19065"]The showcase seems an interesting addition to CT. What's the general vision for it? Seems a bit redundant to the albums pages and that a members albums link is hidden in the tabs on a users profile page behind the "photos" tab. Just seems like a lot of excess navigating points. For example... When navigating to the "Showcase" one lands on a 'gallery' type page displaying many different images. Clicking on a thumbnail image there that interests you, you land on the tab for "General Information" rather than an enlarged coin image or any coin image at all, and it seems in some cases there may be little to no "information" there meaning you have to hit the image tab to display the visual content that likely drew you there. Is there anyway to rearrange things so that users land on the image rather than the info page for those who post no image in the general information page, or to merge information and images onto just one page(tab)? Will other tabs be added? How does the "rating" feature work-- will one's rating perpetually accumulate over time based on hits by unique users or does it "close" like a poll after some period of time? It seems that with "rating [U][I]this[/I][/U] item" the system is intended if only images of just one item are posted, however, some Showcase items already contain more than one item, such as 'Gold Buffalo herd', containing an array of coins in one image file, plus a stamp, a souvenir card reproduction of "Pablo" from the $5 note, et al.

A Like is just a Yes vote, but a 5-star rating system becomes what...? Also, so far I don't see uploaded images in Showcase pages that can be enlarged by clicking on them the way images in other parts of CT threads do, is that not possible here?[/QUOTE]
