Standouts / Loving

Hi All

I was wondering whether it would be an idea to have some sort of gallery standout thread like a few other scrap sites do.

I've noticed that the layouts created for the challenges get a lot of loving and viewing but the same isn't always true for those created outside of these. I think it would be nice if there was somewhere that people could post layouts that they have seen in the gallery or the subforums that they liked so the rest of us can see them and leave them some love.

I know I tend not to browse the forum categories too much unless looking for a specific theme and am probably missing out on a lot of wonderful layouts.

I guess another alternative is for a kind of "leave me loving" forum where people can post their layouts and those following leave them love.

Just throwing these out there to see what others think.

And thanks for the new suggestions thread Carol

Open to thoughts, comments etc

Thanks for suggesting this. I know you and I talked about it a little bit already, so I'm hoping some other MouseScrappers will chime in with their thoughts/ideas. So far, this is what came to my mind...

Have several people designated to select their favorite layout every week. They each would post a linked image to their favorite lo in a special forum (which I would create). Not sure how to decide WHO will pick favorite layouts. Get volunteers (sign up)? Open it to everyone every week (but would we get enough participation)? Would it be for layouts created during the previous week or a layout created at any time in the past?

I don't think I've seen as many scrap sites as other people, so I'd like to hear what you like/don't like about standouts/LOTW on other sites.

Thanks for the suggestion!

I'm not sure if this would be one challenge too many, but we could do an "Inspired by" or "scraplift" challenge. People can do the challenge, which they seem to enjoy, and it highlights gallery posts people may not have seen.

It could run one of two ways - the challenge host could pick 5 layouts to post from the gallery and the participants can choose one of the 5 to scraplift or get inspiration from. Or it could be a little more open ended and everyone who participates can just choose a layout from the gallery to get inspired by.

Does everyone know we have a favorites feature in the gallery? I like the idea of having someone new each week post a "15 layouts from my favorites" type thread. I've never seen this type of thread on another forum, so I'm not sure how they work. If everyone can post whenever they want do more people post their favorites than view other's choices/leave love, thus the thread really isn't increasing other people's views of great layouts? (wow, that is clear as mud, right?!?)

I never intended it to be a challenge of any sort (like you, I think we have enough to be going on with at the moment) - just a thread for people to post layouts they have seen either in the gallery or sub forums that they have liked. The other sites I have seen tend to run each thread in the forum on a weekly basis so it doesn't just become a never ending thread.

i.e standouts - 26th April -2nd May

I am not sure it should be limited to one or two people to post to as I believe everyone's idea of what is appealing is different and the more people who post - the more range we get. I just liked the idea of looking in the gallery, seeing an amazing layout someone posted to ..say the Animal Kingdom forum..and thinking "wow - other people need to see this layout".

I like this idea. I think having people sign up to post in the thread is a good idea.
Maybe have people sign up every month, so everyone can have a chance to share some of their favorites?
I think any layout should be allowed to be featured.

I do like the idea of having a place for some stand outs. I created a new forum for layouts of the week. Can I have one or two people volunteer to help run it?

I'd like to see a guideline/instructions thread that explains to everyone how the forum works. We can try letting anyone submit an entry, and if we don't get enough people participating, maybe try to get a sign up (have people sign up for a month at a time, maybe?). An option for promoting might be to post a few thumbnails on our Facebook page... something to think about.

I'd like the threads to have a similar naming convention (include the date(s) in it).

Any volunteers?

I think a standout would be a great idea..maybe layout of the day. There could be a thumbnail of it on the home page with the ability to click on it to see a large view.
