# Slight change to the way challenges work
New challenges now show entries by date, until the challenge is closed and the entries are then change to by vote.

This is to make the voting fairer.

Make sense?

# Yup.
Shame I won't be able to see how well my entry's doing, though...

/edit - Maybe a thing in the profile that says what place your pic's in, except secret like the "What I've liked" thing for the Links board?

# to be honest, it's no big thing is it?
- at the end of the compo, if theres a chart showing the most popular, you'll know if you've done well,
surely its not imperative to know every single day how well it's doing?

unless you're going in and clicking "I like this" yourself?

# mind you
now that there is a prize on the line, perhaps this should be verified?

Or is that part of why the change has been made Rob?

clicking 'i like this', only works once per post, and it doesn't work if you click your own stuff.

Yes. We're doing it so we can fix the vote for the prize.

Nah - the prize will be given to whoever the Design Council likes the best.

# But it's not the winning
it's the taking part. It's not as if you win somthing, apart from adulaton, and recognition. But most of the compo winners on the past, I have never heard of!

# makes sense
i genereally just look on the popular page, thus just reaffirming the ones that are there, stay there.
Well done!

B) a pet (who cares what your scabby dog looks like) *yawn*
C) some other boring things that just clog up the board.

all in my personal opinion of course.

# I meant the good post
Personal pics are posted by the same people who would sit you on their new leather sofa for 2 hours making you look at their holiday pictures of Thailand where the husband 'dissapeared' for 2 hours every evening claimming he had to go and see a doctor.

The wife would praise Thai doctors for making her husband feel much more peacefull than he ever was in our 12 years of blessed wedding!

DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE!

# Wouldn't this give an unfair advantage to the first couple of pages worth of entries?
Or do I have the wrong end of the stick?


I can't see too many people spazzing deep into the entries, to say, page 43, to find the good entries. Anything half decent on the first page will get most of the votes.
