Member gallery #1 -> Random best artwork

We changed the function of the "Member gallery #1"-window on the frontpage. The contents in that window became a bit boring after a while (I mean not the artwork, but the fact that it showed the same artwork for allmost a week). When an artwork reaches number-1 status and is featured on the frontpage it will stay there for a long time.

So we decided we wanted some diversity. We currently select the 50 best pieces of art every night (@000) but we will fine-tune the selection process a little. eventually we wan't to select the same amounts of artworks in each category (so every category gets the same amount of exposure) and maybe we can try to select some artworks which are not in the top 10, but the ones just below it.

If members are interested to get a message when one of their works is selected for the frontpage we can build that too... (just an idea, let us know!)

Wow, this is excellent!
I did a lot of refreshing and love it... I hope that soon all categories will get an equal share of limelight.

Thanks guys! (Biertje!

UPDATE: We changed the selection process a little bit so every category has an equal share. Every night we select some artworks in the top 10, and some just below it which will be shown randomly all day
