Pokestop- Funky Art Mural.
I added a photo to an existing stop, one which was much clearer than the original. I received notification that my photo was approved. But now when I check my Wayfarer it shows the original dark photo as my accepted photo not my photo.
Hello,
To turn your photo into the cover photo you need to gather votes on it
Click on the photo disc top right, then top right again you will get to see the photos. As you go through 
by clicking the one you want.
You can see the number of votes. There may also be hidden votes, so you need to gkeep getting votes. I
As you can only vote once you might need to have others do the same.
This can also be done by looking at gifts.
as this is not a bug, I’m moving it to general discussion.
I know about voting, that is not the issue. Are you able to access my contributions? I tried uploading screenshots but they won’t upload.
The photo I added is not showing under my contribution, instead it shows as the existing poor quality photo.
Ah, sorry I had misunderstood,you hadn’t specified it was in the contributions page. And no only staff can see contributions.
You should be able to post screenshots….
But to clarify
That for the second image you are now seeing another copy of the original poor image rather than your accepted one?
What do you see when you go to the wayfarer map and look at the gallery of photos?
I just checked the stop on the map and my photo is there, I know with my previous add photos that have been accepted “my” photo shows under my contributions and accepted next to it.
With this particular add under my contributions it shows the existing poor photo not my nomination.
My internet is playing games at the moment and won’t let me upload screenshots to show you unfortunately. I just wonder that having the original poor photo showing as my accepted photo is preventing my actual photo replacing the poor quality photo?
Ah,
The thumbnail displays the current cover not your submission. Which is confusing.
This shows the one I showed above and the thumbnail shows the current cover not my submission.
The one below is one where I submitted and managed to make it the cover photo so it now shows in the thumbnail, the current photo and my submission.
It catches me out now and then.
The only thing to get yours as the cover is the votes. There are old ingress votes that can be counting which means you sometimes need to go beyond the number of thumbs showing.
Agreed it is confusing.
There is a community plug-in which (amongst other things) makes it so that the image shown in the Contributions thumbnail is the image you contributed. It would be nice if Niantic built this in as a default feature for everyone.
I LOVE this tool, and forget others don’t have it.
I don’t remember which one this is xD
Contribution Management Layout.
Oh, i actually like the native design. That’s my signal that the cover photo hasnt flipped yet. When my photo becomes the thumbnail, i know i have successfully flipped it.
¡Hola! No te preocupes, es un comportamiento normal del sistema. Cuando una foto es aprobada, se añade a la galerĂa de la PokĂ©parada, pero no siempre se convierte en la foto principal de inmediato.
Para que tu foto sea la que todos vean primero, los jugadores deben votar por ella dentro del juego (PokĂ©mon GO) tocando el icono del disco de la parada y luego en la galerĂa de fotos. La foto con más votos (el Ăcono del pulgar arriba) es la que eventualmente se convierte en la principal. ¡Sigue aportando esas fotos nĂtidas, ayudan mucho a la comunidad!
Pienso que es un buen debate este de añadir fotos , y a mà se me plantea una duda al respecto, voy a plantear un ejemplo imaginemos que tenemos un Wayspot que se llama fachada decorada, está tiene un bonito mural con un dibujo de arte urbano, imaginemos que con el paso de los años ese mural cambia su dibujo pq los artistas asà lo deciden , si añadimos una foto nueva que obviamente no se parecerá a la anterior será aceptada ? De ser aceptada la otra se eliminará o quedara como principal o secundaria ?
Otro caso serĂa que el Wayspot tenga un nombre relacionado con el mural inicial, si los artistas cambian el mural , cambiamos nombre y foto ? Eliminamos Wayspot y lo volvemos a pedir ? Me ha ocurrido en ocasiones que no he sabido como proceder para ayudar a la comunidad con este tema, si alguien sabe cuál es el protocolo a seguir , agradecerĂ© esa INFO, os mando un fuerte saludo y muchas gracias de antemano .
In my experience the new photo will be accepted as long as it shows that it is in the same location (Murals covering older Murals is 1 of the occasions that it isn’t classed as Re-Purposing).
You will then need to get the new Photo voted on more times than the original so it becomes the main “featured” photo. Problem here is that the old photos could have years worth of votes including “hidden votes” from Ingress.
Then if the Mural changes again you need to get more votes for the 3rd Mural…
Not something I have needed to do but I have heard of people having success with asking Help Chat to remove the outdated image.
I have never needed a rename (mine was a play area that had new equipment installed. HElp Chat may be the way to alter that as well.
Good Luck.
Thank you Slimboy​
, I will definitely use the help chat more
