December Competiton: Vote Here
 

Vote here to decide a winner for our December Freestyle competiton.

Thanks all for entering and best of luck.

Stephen,how do we get to see the entries,please?.

Hi Christine, this would be be my way of doing it:

Go to the top of the page -> right click on ‘Gallery’ -> select ‘Open in New Window’ -> scroll down to the bottom of the new page -> click on ‘Competition Poll / Finalists ’
Now you can go back and forward between the two windows.

Hope that helps, Robert

thanks,Robert.

vote entered.thanks again Robert.

It's a pleasure, Christine.
I just wish black and white and colour was two separate competitions. It's hard enough to make a decision as is, but having to decide between B&W and colour also... That's like two different worlds.

Very tough decision this month. Even worse than usual. Can I vote three, no four times? Didn't think so.
One thing I've noticed several times now. When I click slide show, I only get to see about half of the entries before the slide show stops. Anyone know why?

The slide-show shows entries in date entered order whereas three months ago I started to produce the poll in a random order because I figured that members were waiting unless the last moments to upload their entry to be the top of the poll list. So if you click one of the early photos to view then click slide-show it is possible to have the slide-show close without showing all entries. Motivation to get entries in early ;)

In order to produce the poll I need the photo id number and title from the system and I write these in date order as its easier. I then have a list of id numbers and titles and have no idea who they belong. I then number the list going up and down the page starting anywhere down the page. This produces a totally unbiased random order for the poll which I then generate.

It is surely a good exercise for members to enter into competition. Its even a better practice to vote to show participation in the WPF, when members vote counts. Many photo sites let the competition vote be conducted by admins or selected groups only. Its a very nice feature of WPF that lets every member to vote.

Wish every one good luck.

Is was no easy thing to decide, but finally I've chosen one because only one is allowed...

Some good images here, choice was difficult at first, it then became clear.

1,947 Members and 30 voters - that's a bit slack, isn't it?

Just cast my vote, anyway. We now have 1,947 Members and 31 voters

We have a core of approx 100 regular visitors and the others tend to visit as and when. All members welcome and entitled to vote.

I guess there's a week to go, yet.

We currently have a neck and neck situation and with under one week remaining the competition is far from undecided.

If you have not already cost your vote, please vote now!

This has been a tuff one there are several that deserve to win.

pleased that the number of votes is getting a bit healthier and still a week to go

Yes nice to see voting numbers have gone up, but 1967 members, 93 visited in the last 24 hours.......52 votes?????????

Please don’t hit me. I am not telling anybody their business. It’s just my humble opinion:-)
May I suggest adding a link to the ‘What's Going On?’ section on the index page of the forum as well as to the top of the index page of the gallery leading directly to the present monthly voting page.
I also believe that the voting page needs a clearly visible link to the gallery page that holds the entries and vice versa.

Thanks heavens you said it. I thought it might be only me..:D
Definitely better visibility in addition of ease to get in and out is needed.
