    No, not the usual one :D. I just noticed an extra 'button' on my banner today which says Explore 1. What is this?

    At a guess I'd say it's that one of your pictures has made it to the "Explore" section of Flickr.

    Someone else might have a more definitive answer than me though...

    Oops! Yeah, forgot to say, well done! :D

    ehm...thanks for the congrats and all, but what is Explore? Where does one see it? And Darren: how did you find out that's what it was ?

    Sorry for appearing so stoopid, but I obviosuly don't use Flickr to it's full extent

    This is good to find out what images you have in Explore
    http://bighugelabs.com/flickr/scout.php

    as to what explore is......the current top 500 photos [URL="http://flickr.com/explore/]http://flickr.com/explore/[/URL]
    as to how it works/picks the 500.... thats the weird one.... algorithm based on your contacts, views, tags, comments..... no one really knows!!

    thanks Shay. It really is wasted on me though! It really must be an unusal algorithim they use - that photo has been up there for ages and there's been no acticity on it in a long time. weird

    Explore is made up of photos that have a certain amount of favs/views/ect, and only the magic donkey of flickr knows the true answers :)
