When you click on the top ten reports and the page opens. Have you ever looked over the page?

On the left you will see Fine Art, Photography etc,etc.Did you ever wonder what they are for?

Click on them and you will find the Top Ten for That Category.

Maybe you will find that you can also rate just in a certain category,you think?

Damn, I hadn't noticed that, sorry. But in the Rate Artwork page i see no that options to choose.

No problem, some things are hard to miss on our site with all the pages & options we have.

If you would like to rate, only within a certain 'gallery' (ie photography) simply select the gallery you want in the top right corner drop-dwon menu of artwanted.com - Then click on the RATE ARTWORK link found under the main menu.

This will allow only images from that 'gallery' to show up for you to rate. Hope that helps.

I have read all this and been refusing to join in again..but I cannot resist as looks like AW is looking at options. I say again...get rid of the numerical voting..leave the other voting to be assessed on the number of views each 24 hours..on a numerical value..not in 10's or anything as complicated..a simple counting option...20 people view..the score is 20..the most gets the award, if members tie..they all get listed..why not??? Get rid of the need to 'woo' other members so they will vote for you...like someone said..its a popularity game not an art site. The voting should be on the value of the viewed image, not on anything else. Another alternative would be to not show the member identity when voting, and maybe do away with ArtWatch..which may be the culprit as its sending members to just the selected people.. Somehow encourage members to look for the photos they want to view. I also think it is perfectly fair to only give voting rights to members...no other club lets non-members have the same privileges and allow them to ruin ratings of members. Like I said..its a good site..so why muck it up by squabbling over who is the most popular member???? Is it thatimportant??????? Enjoy the site and use it to have your images exposed, critiqued, and commented on....and maybe sold. Another point...no-one will buy an image that is rated low...so please...do away with the numerical or any rating system. It is not working.
