That's quite a commitment as I generally scan the new pictures daily but would probably forget which pictures I had preferred even an hour later, let alone a week (age gets to us all).
Surely there has to be an easier way to browse the weekly collection of new image. If there were a weekly gallery wouldn't it encourage more members to get involved in either submitting images and/or voting.
It would be very interesting to know how many people actually voted this week or after a few weeks into the new system, which I should say, I do support and would like to see become a success.

I just pressed the 7 day button on the Saturday, quickly scanned the photos to remind myself of the photos I had particularly liked, made my choice and sent an email. Took two or three minutes at most, the bulk of the work being done during the week.

I know a lot of thought has probably gone into this, but it sounds complicated. Like Steve I don't understand how to look at all the photos from the last 7 days. The gallery has always confused me.

on the gallery page if you look on the right hand side below the pictures you will see recent photos...1 day 7 days 14 days...click on 7 days and have a look through them...

I also usually know the few images I really like & think are worthy of POTW as I look every day to see what is on here, then I have a quick look through to see if I missed anything ,then vote.

[quote=postcardcv;52394]I wrote it like that because clickable email addresses get picked up by automated spam systems! As for capitals, it was auto corrected to that by my phone when I typed it but wil make no difference as emails are not case sensitive.
Thanks for the explanation. Please feel free to change or remove my clickable email if you want to.
If nothing else this way of working POTW has got people involved. Realise it makes more work but would be nice to know how many people voted and what percentage the winner had. Just a thought to make it more interesting.

so are we voting for any photos posted from last Sunday GMT through to midnight sat. (yesterday)...is that how it works...I am getting confused by the time difference.

miketoll 26-08-12 14:10

As far as I understand it vote for the shot of your choice that were posted from midnight last Saturday through to midnight Saturday (yesterday). Hope that makes sense, I had not realised another week had gone by so would have forgotten to vote.

did you get any votes for the second POTW?????

Gidders 30-08-12 09:08
