>>>The member of the day feature has changed, IMO, for the worse. Why should I have to send in a comment about the UT to be the member of the day? I liked it better when it randomly selected someone.

>>Because, it's bound to a bigger picture and that fits well when submitting a comment. If you wish to be there, just send a small comment. It doesn't have to be a big comment. Just write something simple. That'll do it.

>That's my point. It's changed from "here's the average member" to one where I now have to submit a comment. I already get the user in the comment area. I think the user of the day should be promoting the users of the UT.. not just those who send a comment.

One of its goals is to help the promotion of UT. We ask for all the help we can get from members. Just taking a minute to write one or two lines will represent a big plus for the UT community. We need as many faces as we can for that area including of course the comment which really gives an idea of what UT is.

It is also for the esthetic. We don't want to show the small version. We want to show the bigger version of the member's picture as it's more professional for the look.
