Do you know about the Serious Critique Category?
-
Hi Everyone! I know we have talked about this in the past, but since there a LOT of new faces here these past few months I thought I would bring it up again.
If you are looking for a serious critique and not just validation on a piece of artwork, there is a category especially for that. It's called "Serious Critique Requested" and it is a sub category to Artwork. I have noticed a few peeps asking for critiques under the artwork category, and I know that a few of our seasoned artists have no trouble critiquing, but you might get more responses if people know that you really want an honest critique. In the past, I know I have been shy of critiquing if I'm not sure what I say will be received with an open mind or if I would be hurting feelings. I think that others feel the same way. I just checked that category, because I have some time to devote to that tonight, but it's empty. So I'm going to go draw instead.
Anyway, just putting it out there. Happy Wednesday!

@burvantill Woops! I always forget that that's a thing, lol. I'll see if I can't edit my post. Thanks for the reminder

Hi! Thanks for this info. I did see that category when I selected which one to look at from the drop-down menu...But when I went to make a post, I didn’t see an option to post into that category - it just gave me the option to post to ‘artwork’ without any other options under that. Am I missing something? Thanks!

@VeronicaMui
I just tried a test post and it shows up lower in the list as it’s own category, not a sub category when selecting for a new post.
When you just want to view it, it appears as a sub category in artwork.
Hope this helps

@burvantill Aaah, ok, figures I just missed it facepalm
thanks for that, I appreciate you looking! I’ll be sure to post there next time I need a critique! -
@burvantill it’s there when I look at the work but it’s not a choice when I go to select a category to post. @Chip-Valecek is that a me glitch? Also does everyone have to wait 120 secs to post or is that a me glitch, too?
-
@chrisaakins I’ve had to wait between posts, too. I think that’s normal. I don’t know about the other, I can see the category every time.
-
Thanks. I had no idea. Are there instructions or best practices for the forums anywhere, because they aren't very self-explanatory. Thanks
-
@Joanne-Roberts yes and no. Lol.
We learn from others as we go.
I think basic kindness throughout and be specific when asking for help/critique. -
@burvantill I had no clue!! THanks Lisa!
-
@burvantill It seems to be unavailable to me. Odd thing is I REMEMBER it being available before. Maybe something changed?

@Braden-Hallett weird. Chris is having trouble to. I just told the authorities
. So hopefully it will be fixed soon.I’m looking forward to really slamming some people.
-
I can see it as a category when I'm not posting.
-
Same! I went back and tried again and my menu is the same - can only view it but unable to select to post there as it’s missing from my drop-down menu. I use a tablet, not sure if that makes a difference or not.
-
yeah same problem here, I can't see it when. I am posting , I hope they fix it soon.
-
I moved it out to its own category. Can someone let me know if they see it now?
-
@Chip-Valecek still not there when you try to post.
-
I'm not having any trouble. Perhaps it is the device? I am on a desktop mac.
-
@Chip-Valecek I can see and use it, but I've always been able to. On my iphone using safari and my mac using chrome.

This is currently what I see:
("Contest" is the last topic at the bottom of the list on the right that is obscured in the above image).I didn't see the "Serious Critique Requested" topic when I made mine a few days ago, so I just put it under "Artwork."
