can we change it back to the way it used to be not many people posting pictures under the new system as far as I can make out ?
I agree. A comment was made recently by somebody on another thread on this forum saying to people to "stop bigging up bog standard work" and that bread & butter work is nothing to shout about. I thought the forum was about sharing whether its a standard ceramic splashback or a luxury real stone staircase.
We all know who the chancers and big mouths are when they pop up, but I think of late a lot of changes and some attitudes are putting people off sharing their work. A real shame.
there is a show us your work thread on the john bridge forum which is far bigger, by having a large show us your work thread it is a good reference point for guest to gain design ideas and also how tastes can change over time, cutting the old style was a mistake in my opinion and that is made clear by how many pictures are being posted now , there could be a reward system in place where jobs could be given reputation points or something similar this would encourage pictures, bog standard stuff would still gain points as the mods could award a set amount just for uploading the pictures

Where was that thread Geoff? I must have missed it. I have always said a well set out/ executed splash back is every bit as good as a fancy high end job.
Can anyone give me a link to that thread please?

I think the cream of tiling work (e.g. marble staircases or mosaic steam rooms) needs to be recognised and celebrated - but in a non-intimidating way to tilers who work very hard on "bread and butter" tiling (especially commercial tilers). I would like to see more encouragement of showcasing good honest and good quality basic tiling work whether its in JOTM or "Show us your work" (SUYW) Also like to see more teamwork recognition - there are a number of posting tilers here who work either as a team or in charge of a team who together produce some excellent work.
I personally feel the SUYW thread is the Forums equivalent of Tolstoys "War and Peace" (sooooooo long, but ultimately rewarding if you persevere), and JOTM needs invigorating - it lacks the punch it had 2 years ago. I agree that SUYW needs closing off each year - most tiling work is timeless but the value of a tiler is what they are currently capable of not what they did 5 years ago.
