Just curious...how are the featured images in the Gallery chosen?

Thanks!

I think they are chosen by the latest ones uploaded.  Then again people also vote for gallery images and that could be it.  Then again it could be the images that are looked at the most.  Eightball would know the answer!

ORDER BY :
Time Most Viewed Here is how you can view the Featured pictures in the Gallery. So it is my belief that the first ones are just rotating and new ones are added. the second is the most viewed pictures. If you click on a picture you can see who posted it and also a bigger picture. It is fun to try new things out. Suzan

Yes, I believe the ones that come up when you go to the gallery are the most recently added unless you choose another viewing method. 

I was more curious on how the ones that show under the featured tab are chosen; if there were some criteria like for featured members.  There is usually a page or two of images in the featured section, and while they haven't been switched out in awhile, they do change from time to time.  I was just wondering how they were chosen to be under featured.

Just one of those 'hmmm...' thoughts.

I think it's random. Just my opinon, lol.

TC and I go through several hundred of the most recent images about once a week or so and choose the ones for feature. They are decided by various criteria, with one of the top being family. We also try to include a graphic creation, a landscape/garden scene, pets and wildlife.  At random times we rotate out the older featured images and add new also.
