+The Cache Hoppers Posted September 8, 2005 Posted September 8, 2005 This has probably been asked before ... but I can't find it anywhere in the forums. How are the changing photos at the top of the Geocaching home page selected?
+Markwell Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 My guess is an elite team of crack photographers and specialists in web design pour over all of the submissions. They have a list of particular themes for the day and run them through a committee of no less than 12 members of the Groundspeak image consultants. After the pictures are approved for publication, they submit them to Jeremy Irish who then has final say on the pictures that will or will not be displayed on the front page of the website. Alternatively, I think that a few of the site people go through pictures every once in a while and see which ones they like, and put them up for everyone to enjoy.
Jeremy Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 The second paragraph is correct - the first paragraph, however, is more interesting
+Write and Mane Posted December 9, 2005 Posted December 9, 2005 Okay Guys - Just how do I see the photos at the top - I used to see them and then they suddenly vanished - If any one can tell me how to get them back I would like to hear from you. Mane (Write and Mane)
Jeremy Posted December 9, 2005 Posted December 9, 2005 You Probably added some kind of banner blocker software to your machine.
+Teamhawaii1981 & blueicyrose Posted December 9, 2005 Posted December 9, 2005 I was going to start a thread the other day about how much I liked this but didn't want to add clutter, especially with the quality of some of the recent pictures chosen. The two that come to mind are the Sunset on a DNF and the Desert on the Rover cache! Great feature!!
+Kirok Posted December 11, 2005 Posted December 11, 2005 I love to see the images on the splash page, but I'd like to see the feature enhanced if possible. Perhaps only for paying members? What would be nice, is if the images were randomly selected from caches within a certain radius of your home coordinates. Perhaps it could be an option to turn it on or off on your profiles page. It would be cool to see pictures of local cachers pop up more often.
+Jamie Z Posted December 12, 2005 Posted December 12, 2005 How can this happen: Something is fishy. Besides, this is the picture that should be on the homepage: Jamie
