Friday Q&A

Questionable Contribution

Greetings, crickets and trolls. Welcome to another edition of the Friday Q&A. Here at the Picture Clinic, I do my best to shine a beacon of hope and truth on the masses of Fark's Photoshop community. Failing that, I insult my readers and carry out petty grudges with persons of diminished mental capacity. Good times, indeed.

Q: Has the Scrutinizer been fixed yet?


A:
Apparently not. As featured in last week's edition, some changes to Fark have caused complications over at the Scrutinizer. The date/time stamp of all recent contests is still being displayed incorrectly. Any attempts to reach Mr Squirrel have failed, but it's assumed that he is very busy and unable to fix the problem at this time.

Q: What kind of changes were made to Fark?

A:
It would appear that Drew & co have finally heeded the suggestion to display a
list of current Photoshop contests. This is feature has been requested time and again by members of our community. Hopefully, we'll see a surge in voting as the contests become easier to browse. The list can be found linked under the headline of every PS thread.

Q: What other features would you like to see added?

TSZ reads this blog every week.
A:
There are so many that I can think of. First of all, I'd like a way to ignore people with more talent than me. Placing every single one of our community members on my ignore list has become a bit tedious (though necessary for the hyperinflation of my ego). I'd also like a filter to automatically block small images from being submitted to the contest queue. The recent past has seen more than a few postage stamp-sized O's.


That's all for this time, gentle reader. Thanks again for stopping by. Hopefully the recent changes made to Fark will result in a higher voter turnout. Unfortunately, since the same changes seem to have broken the Scrutinizer, it will be difficult to tell.

Stay tuned for more ironic conundrums from the Doctor!
