I'm wondering if anyone else might think it would be a good addition to receive or have the option to receive notifications when users you follow have an image selected as a Top Pick and/or IOTD. It might be a great way to increase engagement and recognition within your circle of followers/those you follow.

​​​​​​Also, I hope this is the appropriate forum to suggest a feature Salvatore!

Sounds good to me! Let's see if there are objections or a positive reception to this idea!

(any notifications can anyways be turned off in the settings, btw)

The only thing I wonder is: for every image by one of your followers that gets TPN/TP/IOTD, you'll get two notifications: one when they publish the image, one when it gets awarded.

maybe an icon in the main page between about and trash icons   turn on to indicate that   some follower is awarded and then if click the icon open the image,
or  something like that

Great idea for those that follow many and cannot see every image posted, it highlights special ones.

I think the appealing thing here is, assuming it can be so granular, you could theoretically disable notifications for all images published and only receive notifications about top picks.

Having said that, I hate to complicate it, but there may be some users you'd want to see notifications for all images published while you may only want to see notifications for TP/IOTDs from other users. I'm okay without this level of control though!

I am confused. I assumed there is a way to disable the notification of when someone I follow gets an award (but not when they publish an image). Why should they be coupled? In other words, what if I only want to be notified when someone publishes an image but not when that image is awarded?

They wouldn't be coupled. You'll still have control over whether you want:

 - notifications when users you follow post an image
 - notifications when an image by a user you follow gets an award

These would be two independent toggles.

Thanks for clarifying. This makes sense.

On a related note, it would be helpful to have some recommendations on what makes an image competitive for Top Pick/IOTD recognition.
