@Nadine – I’m sorry you’re frustrated.
Although Serdar and I are working together on this, I’m speaking only for myself and how I approach this.
I’m staying up each night until midnight in order to solve the Wordle and post it on the forum. Serdar and I are constantly looking at the photos during the day and going back and forth on what appeals to us. Sometimes we’re on the same page, sometimes it takes us a day or two to agree. We are spending hours on this “game” even knowing it’s just a game.
With the updates, I was trying to avoid listing every single name of every person who is playing. It also seemed to me to be a bit patronizing. We’ll change that this week and add every name of every player.
We do look at every single photo, more than once — and we’re having to bounce back and forth between here and Strava because some people are still posting there. See the previous paragraph about staying up until midnight already and hours spent on our end of the game.
We are not purposely ignoring anyone. For example, your photos clearly and repeatedly show that you’re having a great time getting out with friends and riding together. We see that and we are happy for you that you’re doing that.
One of the downsides of the “new forum” is it makes it very difficult to comment specifically, quickly, and directly on photos which is where I would have (in the past) commented and encouraged. I would love to add a quick comment to every photo, but the way it runs now, doing so just adds to the scrolling down problem and because the comments don’t end up right next to the photo, they seem like they’re out in la la land. That issue has deterred me from commenting on individual photos, so perhaps it has seemed like being ignored. I’ll try to do better on that. Be sure to check the entire scroll to see if you’ve gotten the notice you’re seeking.
And now, I’m finished commenting on this whole subject and going back to looking at photo submissions again for a bit before I go for a ride. No Bingo items for the 4th day in a row, no more fire stations within a reasonable distance from my house. I’ve “done” the public art in my area if not this year, past years. Thank goodness for @BigRedBoiler and the flag game – at least I have a purpose in life each day.
