Good luck everyone!!!!

Bit of a stupid question but do we place a vote tag on every picture and then finally hit the vote button or are we limited in the number of votes?

Cheers

So umm... we don't have to make the total votes sum up to a certain number? eg. what if I voted every picture a 10; and everyone else does likewise?

the only stupid question is the unspoken one!

you can assign a score for every image... and I encourage everyone to do so!

And I encourage competidors to give thier own image top marks (remember the prizes!)

That would be pretty silly :)

Nope... It is not a rank system... you dont have to say which picture is best nescasarly... you critique each image individualy on its own merits...

Further to my first question just so I have it fixed in my mind - do we hit the vote button after assigning a comment to one pic and then move onto the next and hit the vote button again - or do we assign comments to each photo and hit the vote button just once?

The only reason I ask is that I assigned a comment to each photo then went back to the first photo but it was no longer showing any comment - just <vote>!!

Cheers

You select a score or scores then hit vote to register or change those scores

Yes I should add
Scores can be changes anytime up until the voting closes

Hi MHD

Well done on getting the voting up and running on time!

You have two vote buttons on each page. I presume one can vote using either button?

Also - Jeepers - there are some awesome entries. Well done to all entrants!

Cheers

How do I vote?

Postby the foto fanatic on Thu Dec 02, 2004 12:20 pm

Greetings MHD. I haven't entered a photo - can I vote :?:
Also, although I have searched the forum, I have been unable to find how to view the entries (sorry, must be sunstruck) :roll:
Could you give me some advice please?
Thanks :)

some tidbits of info:
7 people think that the (currently) winning photo should be framed and sold
only 0.06 points separate third and fourth place!
18th and 19th are tied on 6.44 points

:P

not long now until I know the result!

Voted!

Postby the foto fanatic on Fri Dec 03, 2004 7:40 am

Although I was not organised enough to have entered a pic, I have voted.

I must say that I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the entries, given that the Challenge was slightly unusual (ie B&W).

In my view, there are some seriously good pix amongst the entries.

I am also stunned at the quality of the prizes being offered, thanks to our selfless Patron, Birddog, and others who have donated. There is a real spirit of friendship in this forum.

Good luck to all, I say!

I'm looking forward to the big announcement :D
