4 then as I did too.
Still think it is far from easy for a newcomer to find out about voting for POTW which is a shame as the more involved they are the more likely they are to stay.
They are hardly likely to search the whole of this thread for the required information.

yes I agree, I thought there would be a reminder in the gallery too...don't think this is going to work too well myself.

Yes I did get votes this week but haven't been able to get online to post up the winner - sorry about this but with three kids getting online in the summer holidays doesn't happen so much. I will post up the winner shortly.

I would have put up a reminder in the gallery as I did last week but could only access on my phone and couldn't post one up on that. There were less votes this week than last week so we will see how it goes in the next couple of weeks.

As for the ease of finding the info - all of the info required for voting is in the first post of this thread (let me know if anything is missing and I will update it). Once it is running smoothly I am planning to have a sticky thread just containing how to vote info, but was leaving it a few weeks to check that this was working. As people don't think this system will work perhaps someone can come up with a better solution. Moderator choice wasn't popular and basing it on number of comments doesn't work either. I know that it was suggested that we could have a vote button by each photo in the gallery but this does not seem to be possible with the gallery system we have.

I'm out of town at the moment, but I got a vote in and I think we should give it a few weeks running to settle in. Some stats would help when our noble moderator gets a chance. :-)

I am travelling interstate this week for my brothers funeral & will be away all week, won't have access to a computer so won't be able to vote next week...just realized it is another week gone & time to vote again!!!!! it's SUNDAY.

sorry Peter, I can imagine how hard it is with 3 kids to be able to get anything done.

Appreciate the time pressures on you guys - all we have to do is vote but I suspect that the numbers of votes you are getting fairly small.

It would be interesting to know the number of votes received & the % the winner gets.

Also are the winners going to be added to the POTW gallery <<<here>>> ?

I think this is key.
I have been away too so have not seen any of the photos yet nor back in time to vote so no vote cast this week.
