Site suggestion

Posted by Mark Thompson on the Big Photo Hunt community board.

Hi Ken, I am loving the site and all the work you put into it. Keep it up, its growing!

A little suggestion that would help me out a lot is to put a marker or give me a button that will take me to the first upload for the week.

Yes occasionally I like to scroll back further, but when I come on the site, nine times out of ten I am 'hunting' this weeks photos and can never find where they actually start.

Cheers Mark

If anyone else has any suggestions for Ken, feel free to add them to this post :)

Hi Mark!

Thanks for the feedback!

Quick question, if you don't mind, just so I can make sure I understand. Do you mean on the main photo feed? And in a perfect world, this would take you down to the first photo for the week, and then you would work your way up?

Let me know if I'm understanding correctly. Sounds like a good idea.

Along these lines:
Does the dropdown "last week" show only photos in hunt running from the week prior? Correspondingly, does the "this week" one only show photos in contention for the current hunt.
Adjacent to that, the date stamp on a given photo only shows the month & year, but what about adding something like "August 2026 week 2" or something. Or numbering each hunt cycle by based on the week number, as in we are now in Week 35.

As someone who looks at the list throughout the week, I'd also like the ability to jump to the last one I viewed.

@[Ken Deckinger](c3048578-7544-410e-a042-d00e6ec6333e) Yes. You have the understanding correct. I never know if I have scrolled down the main feed far enough, or too far into last weeks photos

@[Nisah Cheatham](cf53a09d-1eb6-45e0-b529-06e3bf21aaf4) thanks so much for this comment.

So, yes... If I recall "Last Week" shows only photos from the prior week's hunt. "This week" should be the same thing.

Date stamp = interesting idea!

Two quick follows ups:

1. Any thoughts on how "Last Week" and "This Week" work now that you'd like me to think about?
2. What do you prefer re: date stamp. My gut tells me that the actual date that the photo posts (i.e., August, 27th, 2026) is best. Whatcha think?

Thank you, Nisah!
