Some of this you probably know.

I don't think that every image belongs in the random image selection pool for voting. For instance, I'd like to post the best shot to show up for votes, and then some WiPs in case anyone is interested in how it was done. I want the final shot to be voted on by strangers, but couldn't care less about the others. I also can't get through a random voting session without running into Littleboyblues freehand landraider tutorial WiPs every 5 images. To this end, I would suggest that every image when uploaded is not added to the random image selection until a user (could be anyone) clicks a button that adds the image to the pool, make the button very easy to get to - like it shows up as a little green + button on the bottom right hand side of the thumbnail when viewed through the search/gallery.

For the next image picked while voting, I'd like an option to grab the next image that fits my current search criteria. Also it'd be very nice if the voter wouldn't pick an image that I've already voted on.

Bug: If you skip an image (let's say you've already voted on it), you lose your next image preference.

Would be super if the turbovoter accepted numpad input. Next image selection criteria would be great for this too - I'm all for helping out with votes, but I'm getting tired of all the chaff mixed in with the wheat of images I'm actually interested in seeing.

Thanks for listening. You've done an awesome job with this thing so far.

Most of the issues you describe (random voting, repeated voting, etc) are things that will be fixed given more time, and even now they are much better than they used to be. Disabling voting on some images is not an option as voting is necessary to get additional information like tagging and general categorising about an image, and without that they would just end up orphaned on our server. This has been covered in better detail in past posts in this forum but I'm too lazy to dig them up/type them out right now Basically more votes solves the problem, but there will always be WIP and boring images slipping into the voting and ruining the fun for some people. I have a few plans to improve it and they will come into play in the future.

Skip an image missing the next image preference stuff is a bug and duly noted thanks. I'll look into getting the turbovoter to accept number pad input as I thought it did already.

Glad you like it though and thanks for the votes you have given so far!
