    hugo Hare Here

    Hugo Hare is a clever little Leporid!

    He is also very interested in photography, every time you click on him he will take you to an interesting source of photography related information, a photography blog or bring you to this page to tell you about him.

    He is clever because each time you click on him he hops at random to one of the interesting sites that he has found!

    Hugo is a nice Hare, he likes to support other websites and blogs! if you have an interesting website and you are happy to have a little picture of Hugo on your site then why not get in touch with the RPF admin

    Below you will find reviews of all the websites that Hugo hops to...

    We now have a system for liking peoples posts!
    If you like a post, you can High Five Hugo
    When ever you High Five Hugo, he will let the person who posted the post know that you like it!
    If you change your mind and decide you don't like the post, just slap hugo and he will go away ...



    The idea is that within threads people can find the most interesting/useful/etc posts just by clicking the drop down in the top right hand corner of the thread.

      One thing that strikes me is that this could get used instead of posting ...

      Hamish my first thought when I saw that you had added the "like" feature was that it would give people the option just to "like" and not add why. I think it's nice to have the feature, especially for conversational posts for which one would like to acknowledge support for a comment without necessarily having to repeat the point in one's own words. But with regard to images posted by others, I'm going to fight the urge to "like" without comment.

      I've started using the Hugo High Five as a way of thanking people if they say they like my photo, as an alternative to posting again just to say "thanks".

      This prevents other people from seeing there is a new post on a topic, opening it up just to see "Thanks, Cedric" or whatever.

      This moves away from the original idea that filtering to see the HHFs only takes you to the most interesting posts, but is in line with post #2 above.

      It would be good to know if this is the way we wish to use the HHF feature, and if so others might find it useful. We are getting lots of new members, and as the forum expands I am finding it VERY hard to keep up with all the new posts when I log in. Speeding up the site helps, but anything which prevents so many new posts appearing which are of little or no interest to most members is in my opinion useful at this stage of the forum's life.

      PS To be clear I don't advocate using HHF to say you like someone else's photo, as this takes away the valuable feedback you get. I'm talking about the follow-up "thanks" posts.
