Random Photos

After viewing some members Random Photos, it struck me that some folks went to great lengths as far back as 2009 to set up an account, and provide photographic evidence of a life, and memories, then that was it, no more communication, why would that be?.

Paul if it gave the members satisfaction to post about themselves at the time that is the main thing isn't it.

Re: Random Photos

Some people are shy and maybe signed on with hopes some one would notice them and talk to them, maybe to shy to start a thread or join one already started, when that ddnt happen they probally stopped looking in.
I know more talkative people like you and I dont have these problems, but I have spoken to people who have done this, so next time you see a newbie who hasnt spoken yet go and say hello and invite them in to a thread ... it might work

Re: Random Photos

I don't know why either but I do love the random photos. I now know peoples dogs and cats without looking at the name of the contributor, Alans wildlife etc, so it is a good thing to have on a site.

Re: Random Photos

I have put some photos in my albums but have never seen them appear in the 'random' spot - is there something special I should have done?

It is, of course, possible that they have appeared at times when I have not been on line.

Just being curious!

Yes darlin' - your photos are appearing - particularly those you took at York Transport museum showing Mallard and Sir Nigel Gresly steam locos - these were on show only yesterday.

I think that it's all chance Tabby, but the more you have in your albums the better the odds I would guess....

Re: Random Photos

There are plenty of things that can happen to a person in a week never mind a few years, things we will never know about.
I too believe there are a lot of shy members who need that little effort to post and I know everyone does their best to encourage them, threads are open for everyone so don't be shy folks, have your say now.
