Thanks for posting this. I've noticed a lot of newbie posts recently regarding this. Perhaps it's because there are the top pictures of the day? I'm sure it's hard when you see people getting hundreds of views and favorites when yours only gets a few views. Also the new format of when your picture actually posts can be strange. I've heard many people complain that theirs never even get on the front page. The number of members definitely plays into this.
Anywho - hopefully this post will help with some hurt feelings. I love this community and everyone is so great. If you ever need specific feedback on anything, just post it in a forum and you'll get it. Thanks again! |

Hello. I am a "newbie" and must say that I feel very comfortable here. I've been reading the forms and find the regulars are so helpful and supportive. It's exciting to see how many people view  pics and to see what pics are saved for their favorites. I think that is a great feature. 
Thank you for making me feel welcome. This is a great site and so much more informative than another site....  Thanks again...
Sandy |

Stephanie,
It's nice to see you post something like this. A lot of people take the time to write how annoyed they are about repetitive threads - but don't take the same amount of time to "help out" like you just did.
Kudos! |

One other thing that should probably be mentioned--sometimes when I update my profile on CC, somehow it turns off the option to allow comments.
So...if you post a picture and get NO comments in a day or so, it would be a good idea to check whether there is even an option to add comments on the picture page. If not, you can go into your profile ("My Forum Info" in the menu on the left side of the page) and make sure "Allow other members to post comments on my photos:" is checked. |

Wow! I wish I would have read this post sometime ago! I didn't realize I was hurting people's feelings by not commenting - I'll be sure to be more aware of this in the future. Guess I never thought of it because I was always taught "never take anything personal except compliments!" |

Just read a few comments here and I am ashamed to say that I am one who many times have perused pics for ideas and failed to post a comment. I do apologize and in the future will try to do better. I am absolutely blown away by the talented people here. I am fairly new at posting and although I have been doing cakes for a long time, I can not hold a candle to most of these cakes. I am collecting ideas and compiling a book to try to build a side-line business of sorts. My question now is, does anyone have objections to my using pics here as inspiration? I would never post pics anywhere and claim to have made them if I did not. I would , however, like to show people what I am capable of doing and would like to duplicate someone else's cakes if people want them . Does anyone object to me doing this? |

Irish0831,
The decorators here at CC love for people to use their cakes as inspiration When a person use someone's cake as an inspiration, that person should give some form of credit...such as, "inspiration taken from so and so(give the name)" or, "I would like to thank so and so for their inspiration".
Our decorators only get upset when someone claim their cake as theirs or someone use their cake for inspiration and then not give them credit...these are big no-nos  .
