Voting Is Now Open!

[Kris10]

EXTENDED UNTIL TUESDAY DECEMBER 4
We have received some awesome submissions for our fall photo contest! Check out the entries!

Voting is Open
Voting lasts until Tuesday, December 4 at noon. We have extended the voting period to allow more members to vote.

To vote, simply click on the word VOTE that will appear below the photo. You will only be able to vote once, so make your vote count. The photo with the most votes will win.

I believe all the photo issues have been resolved. If not, please let us know.

Hi Links, I sent you a pm but thought I should post it here also. I noticed on the contest that only 2 out of my 3 photos that I submitted are now showing. I also noticed on the 2 (reflections of fall, and window of fall) the vote tab is not working. It just shows '0 votes' and not a tab to 'vote' like the other pics.

I received email notices this morning saying the photos have been moved and when clicking on the link the photo that is no longer in the contest shows that the image is not available. I also checked 'my photos' section and the photo is gone.

I have not made any changes with my photos at all so not sure what happened.

Not saying anyone would like to vote for my photos (but I hope they do lol) could you please check this out and see why I'm seeing this on my end that voting is not working and where my 3rd photo went to?

thanks so much,

pk

(sorry I just noticed that Kris10 is part of the contest, sorry I sent the pm to links)

I got the idea that there are so many good pictures that I should put them into different categories so we can have more than one winner.

Unfortunately when I moved them, the thumbnails disappeared.

I then moved them all back to the main Fall 2007 category. We will work on perfecting the system for the next contest problem this winter.

Sorry for all the emails those of you who submitted received.

I would like to know why my photos were pulled...if im not mistaken by the DATES on the photos they were taken in the FALL.Its a FALL photo contest!!!!

Received your pm Links, thank you for looking into it, but sadly it still is not working properly for voting on the Reflections of Fall and Window of Fall photos and the 3rd submission of the leaves with dew is still lost when I checked just now.

Interesting idea for the next contest but not sure if it would be right to change rules in the middle of the contest?

Not changing the rules. Simply making it easier to pick the best of all the wonderful photos that were submitted.

You would have been allowed to vote for three rather than just one.

We apologize for any inconveniences with the photo contest.
The voting on photos is a new feature on theBubbler and apparently all the bugs have not been worked out yet.

I just voted myself, and noticed that the vote does not actually get tabulated. So it will just show you choose the photo. When voting ends the number of votes each received will show.

It appears that you can change your vote until the voting closes. You can do so by going to the homepage of the contest and click on clear your vote. You can then choose a new photo.

If anyone is missing any photos please let me know and I will work with you to get the photo back into the contest.

How can we view if our photos can be voted for or they have just been taken off so they cannot be voted for?

Wasn't trying to cause an issue just that any change during any contest simply means changing the rules in the middle of the game ... just mentioned this before any changes were made and members may speak up. You advertised the rules at the begining and most contests I've ever seen never changes for whatever reasons.

It is a good idea though..didn't want you to think otherwise. And any learning experiences from this new and great contest can always be things to incorporate in the next contest.

This is just my thoughts on this, not trying to tell you how to run your show here.

I am still missing one photo that was submitted. My thought when you moved the photos into other galleries (I was emailed this was done), maybe a delete button was hit since the image is no longer available nor is it in my photo section? Just a thought.

[LinksToThePast]

I bulk moved the photos in the categories and that doesn't have any delete feature.

I just went back and reset the votes on my photos and it did not change a thing. Didn't think it would since I did not vote for anything yet.

have no idea what to say about the misisng photo, except if it helps to know that I did not do anything different on my end to delete it either.

OK, just got the message that it appears you can't vote for your own photo. lol just wrote back and laughed that I was caught looking as if I thought my own was the best and trying to vote for myself. lol OK, not really that vain, just really liked my photo. I will be sure to vote for someone else since there are many wonderful pics to choose from.

Thanks again links for everything you are doing and everyone else on this great contest. This is a learning experience for all of us this time around.
