Feel like these changes would benefit the forums:
- Show most favorited images per sub forum. E.g. In the dallas forums, show most favorited in Dallas. For Arkansas forums, show most favorited images for Arkansas. For worldwide, show the top across all sub-forums.
The issue with the current design is a "snowball effect". Because the top photos are easily accessible, very rarely change, and are "pinned" on the left side, they naturally accumulate a bunch of likes/favorites. A snowball effect occurs and the top photos are very difficult to "de-throne".
- Change it to "Most favorited images this Month". This encourages updated photos. A bonus is new ladies which are hidden gems can more easily be in the spotlight.
