Don't reshuffle the images after initial upload

[1l2p]

When a new user clicks the email link, they are taken to a page with an empty box for their own picture. After filling out the form, the expected behavior would be to add the my image into the existing page. Instead the is reshuffled, and the pictures becomes part of a class photo of new people. It is not clear to the user, that the images are of random other participants - the expectation is that this is "my" class.

If we don't shuffle the images, only the first 32 images will ever show up + the image the person uploaded. I don't know if that will be great either? What do you think?

I like the shuffling (it's fun re-loading the page and seeing new faces) but it's confusing when it happens after I submit my picture, because you show me a page of faces and then say -> add your picture to THIS page. but when i add it, the faces are all different - that feels less personal. Is there a way to only not reshuffle the time that someone submits their data?

Two possibilities:

1. use a seeded random sampling and save the seed for every user
2. make the copy more explicit to say that this is an example of what it will look like in the end

I prefer 1.
