Feature Request: Save Favorites

[klettke]

Hi,

I have Flickr and Smugmug. I like both. Flickr seems flashier (pun intended http://dgrin.com/images/smilies/mwink.gif) and has more of a vibrant community/social aspect. Smugmug, on the other hand, seems more professional and refined. Speed wise I find that they are both the same, though on slower computers Flickr's use of Flash slows it down. I love Smugmug's ability to organize photos into albums and the fact that prints can be ordered. Also, I've just upgraded to a Power User and like the fact that my photo page can be customized. Flickr and Smugmug are made for different types of users...and for me Smugmug works a little bit better.

However, there are a few features that I'd like to see on Smugmug. One is the ability to "Post to Blog," that was discussed in another forum post. And the second is the ability to save favorite photos. On Flickr you can have a thumbnail display of all your favorite Flickr photos. I've found many great photos on Smugmug that I would love to save in this fashion.

Thanks a lot!

Scott, creat a gallery (My Favorite Pictures) for your best shots, create second copy
of each best pic and move the copy into it. Select the gallery as a featured gallery and it
now shows on your home page. With one click anyone can open your featured gallery and
view your favorites.
This help? 'bout all I can think of.

Thanks Allen,

That will work great for my pictures but is there an easy way to save other people's favorites? For example, you can view my Flickr favorites here: http://flickr.com/photos/scottklettke/favorites/ It is a collection of other people's pictures that I like.

A comparable feature on Smugmug would be awesome, though I understand that both are catering to slightly different people. I've upgraded to a Power User account and customized the look and totally love Smugmug.
