Photo Comp July 2014 - '..and relax'

[GoatFoam]

Some nice pics coming in. I would have commented earlier, but have been too busy relaxing. Now back at work so I have time to post on the internet

There's a day left I think.

This is a bit of an oldie...

[RiK]

Nice :-)

[F-ZeroOne]

Ta, old bean!

[RiK]

Entries closed. Shortlist please.

Still waiting on your shortlist dude...

[RiK]

Just in case GoatFoam hasn't replied by this evening, I'm going to suggest that last month's runner-up Dvorak chooses a shortlist.

[GoatFoam]

Sorry about the delay. I was away from internet for a couple of days.

I'm picking based on content rather than technical photography, so I have to reluctantly disqualify Riks entry on the grounds that I wouldn't be relaxing

No worries, your topic, your choice.

[RiK]

Well done ElfQrin!

PM me a new topic them :-)

One minor thing, RiK.

When folks post to the thread, an email notification is sent out but, when the poll is added for voting, this doesn't happen. It's treated as just an edit of existing content, not as new content, by the forum software, annoyingly enough, so it doesn't send out a notification for it. I've had a few misses and near misses on the voting because of this.

Would it be possible for you to post a quick reply - something like "voting has begun!" or "the poll is up!" or whatever - to the thread after you edit in the poll, just because that would implicitly send out an email notification to everyone?

(Yeah, sorry. I wouldn't have to ask, if the forum software logically treated adding a new poll as new content - because that's what it is, really - but adding a poll is lumped in with general admin editing, which is apparently considered not notification-worthy or "new post"-worthy. This would also be useful for folks using the "read new posts" mechanism, as it would flag it up as a "new post" there too. This stuff really ought to be the default, really - who would subscribe to a thread and not want to know when a poll has been added to it? - but, unfortunately, the PHPbb folks don't agree or just haven't thought of it.)

Well it's the same dates every month, so you could always set a calendar reminder like I do

Yeah sure, I'll do that in future :-)

Yeah I think it's down to me editing the first post as an admin, but as you say a simple extra new post should solve that issue in future :-)

Ta very much.
