How long should the Neowin Digital Gallery thread be?  

29 members have voted

  1. 1. The Neowin Digital Gallery thread should be:

    • Monthly
      10
    • Quarterly
      6
    • Annual
      13
    • Permanent (one thread to rule them all)
      0
    • Other (explain in thread)
      0

Given the recent discussion within the Neowin Digital Gallery for and against changing the length of the thread, I think that a separate thread + poll to discuss and evaluate that would be better.

Intelligent discussion is preferred (though I'm aware this is the Internet).

I really don't see a point in changing it from monthly, although I have not tried to FIND a reason... IF you were to do it quarterly then you might as well do it per season e.g. Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall (as a means of labeling which quarter we are in - and to make it somewhat organized instead of just starting at some random month)

The only problem I find with the Monthly model is that anything posted on the final week of the month gets a lot less exposure. Sometimes I upload something on the 28th or 29th and wait for the next monthly thread to share it here.

Other than that a monthly model is fine.

...

so what happens when you post in the final week of the quarter?

I mean sure, it will occur only 4 times per year opposed to 12... but it's still a problem

If plan to do a 3 months a time, then do this format:

Winter: December - February

Spring: March - May

Summer: June - August

Fall: September - November

That way, we know what season the photos were taken in..

Other than that, I don't mind if we do a monthly or quarterly, or whatever. Up to you or the mods.

Best tip is that if we do a season format, we can search our photos in previous forums in easy way which we can link the photos for future references or inspirations.

Just a thought.

That's precisely teh problem.

Just do it quarterly, 1 2 3, 4 5 6, 7 8 9, 10 11 12

Do I detect bitterness ? :p

... You could leave the previous month stickied for an extra week or something? So have say February and March up for the first week of March, then you can unsticky February...

I don't care either way, that is just an IDEA... although idk if it's better :p

Adding onto the yearly thread idea... make it indefinitely long. lol

A year is so long that there will be TONNES of pages anyway... so IF you were to go that route I think you might as well just not change it at all and just leave it up forever as the same thread :p

I think the Yearly sounds even better! This will avoid the issue of posting at end of month/quarter as it will only happen once per year! So out of all the different ways to do it yearly contributes the least to that problem.

We could then do like a yearly poll over the thread to vote the best of the year, pretty cool thing to do I say.

We already had a voting go based on "ideas" by .mac, however it failed terribly as we got very little participation, I could see this yearly thing working better for this purpose.

Hmmm the yearly thing sounds good. Is there no bookmark function in IPB? Eg. Get a mod to mark the end of a quarter at a certain page saying "this is 2 quarter" etc.

I deleted my vote, but when trying to vote I get:

[#10355] You must cast your vote in each question of the poll.

It will only work if I vote null.

I removed and re-added the poll. There is apparently a problem with deleting and re-voting, but this should be a temporary solution. Apologies for having to re-vote, but I didn't know another way to get it working.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • LibreOffice developer takes a dig at Euro-Office in new open letter

      By Ccl Ncc · Posted

      I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By grunger106 · Posted

      Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.
    • Apple unveils Siri AI, a "reimagined" version of SIri

      Clearly that feature isn't for us. It's for the ad spam marketers so they can more directly target us about going to places we might want to go again...but without understanding context clues. Like for the flight someone took for a friend's funeral. We want to be reminded of that every time we open an app, a browser, or email, right? Right, Siri?
    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off WWDC 2026 with a ton of announcements, mostly centered around Apple Intelligence improvements, the Siri AI, and Liquid Glass updates. However, there is a lot of other stuff that couldn't catch the limelight. Let's talk about watchOS 27 and which models are supported by the newest operating system. According to the Cupertino giant, watchOS 27 will be supported on the following Apple Watch models when it arrives later this year: Apple Watch Ultra 3 Apple Watch Series 11 Apple Watch SE 3 Apple Watch Series 10 Apple Watch Ultra 2 It's a stark contrast with last year's watchOS 26 update, which had almost a dozen Apple Watch models in its list of supported devices. Apple supported models all the way back to Apple Watch Series 6. That said, if you own one of the five models, you'll need an iPhone 11 (or later) with iOS 27 to install the latest update. Yes, Apple has shown some extra love to the iPhone 11, and it old horse supports the iOS 27 update. watchOS 27 beta 1 is now available for developers and interested power users through the Apple Developer Program. So, if you're among those who like to play with fire, you can download it to your supported Apple Watch. Otherwise, the public beta for watchOS 27 will be available next month. The freshly baked Apple Watch update comes with Siri AI - an advanced, fully conversational version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence due for later this year. A new dynamic app grid features icons for five Siri-suggested apps. You can use a new tap gesture to open a widget in the Smart Stack, and a new Find My app finally clears the mess of Find Devices, Find Items, and Find People on Apple Watch. Workout Buddy can run without an iPhone nearby and offers new insights based on data, including your progress for pace, distance, and workout duration. Apple improved its motion tracking algorithms to measure the distance of indoor treadmill runs and walks more precisely. Speaking of other changes, the music playback on watchOS 27 starts faster and you can create custom passes for any membership or card that uses a QR code or barcode, then easily access them in the Wallet app or pin in the Smart Stack.

      "and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations" The Siri I've become to know and trust. I've always wanted to pull info on old flights. /s
