Poll question: POLL: Photo threads on DU....where should they go?
Now, some people hate these photo threads more than GWB; others love them more than home-baked chocolate brownies, so based on Kurt_and_Hunter's suggestion in another thread do you think they should go in another section of DU? Or should they cease and desist COMPLETELY?

Be blunt, but remember bad language isn't nice.

2. Wherever they are appropriate ...

If you're referring to your photo threads with Obama pics, either of the GD groups should be fine. If/When GD: P turns back into GD: Politics (or some such thing) they should probably just go in GD at that point.

But, overall, those who don't like photo threads that are clearly marked as photo threads should do themselves a favor and learn how not to click on a link leading them to a photo thread.

20. I agree - where ever appropriate according the the photo subject
But do keep marking them as PHOTO threads. I like seeing them and might not click on a thread if it were not marked!

29. Amen! I foward your photo threads to many people in many places. Best compilation ANYwhere, imo.
I don't know who you are and how you obtain these pics, but I thank you from the bottom of my heart. You have no idea how much joy your pix bring to so many people--and I'm only speaking of the ones to whom I send them! Yours are a rare and appreciated treat. Seriously.

6. YOUR photo threads should go right here in GD/P...
Because they are political in nature...

Ordinary photo threads (puppies, kittens, vacations, rainbows etc.) go in the Lounge, or in the Photo Forum if you have a star!

DO NOT stop doing your wonderful photo threads, please!

I love them!

:hug:

7. They should go right here. And when this forum disappears they
should go in GD. They're a bright spot that I look forward to and they help balance all the negativity. Don't cease and desist, please.

8. I'm an adult and I'm quite capable of hiding threads..
Or simply not clicking on them. Usually when picture threads are started, there is a note in the title of the OP.

A picture speaks a thousand words! Don't harsh my free speech high, man!

11. That was my thought also.
It's just a message board with hundreds of threads. If you don't like it...... skip it. DU couldn't make that any easier!

Keep 'em coming and put them where they seem to fit for the subject matter.

14. Love the photos threads
Those who hate them don't need to click on them. I also always appreciate the warning if there are a lot of pics so I know that it'll take a while before they all load.

19. They are about Obama and this is GD:Presidential so...
Keep em! I'm glad you came back Jackeens, so I don't have to find the photos myself. Hey, I can criticize or approve of Obama's ideas AND like pics of him at the same time.

21. I think the general consensus is GD:P, and I couldn't agree more.
Keep 'em coming. As long as the thread is plainly marked "Photos", I can't see why anyone would have a problem.

22. Why would folks look at photo threads if they are going to lose their lunch.....?
An easy way to handle their Bulimia without sticking their fingers down their throats perhaps? :shrug:

28. Fan photo threads are fine by me
If people don't want to look at them, they don't have to open them. Dial-up people usually don't, but there are also people who have enough bandwidth to do it.

30. JforO, I love your photo threads. Please keep posting them on
here. They actually brighten up my day and for that I thank you.

Can you please repost Obama and the baby thread? I did not save it and I really want to keep that one.

If you are going to the Inauguration, please take lots of pics to share with us. I am taking the day off to be at home to view the historic event, but that will not compare to being at the event with so many people and the many stories that will be told after.

Counting down .... cannot wait.

Regards
