I'd like to see an arrow or next button which would allow you to go straight from say, 1st to 2nd to 3rd to 4th in challenge results without having to hop back to the results page.
That might be tough to code though...

Good idea and probably not that tough to code.
edit: speaking as a programmer
As long as the list of image ids can be loaded into memory in the proper order, going from one image to another in order of rank shouldn't be a problem

Good idea and, speaking as a programmer, yes, probably tough to code.

It would also be cool to have maybe a set of Filter Buttons up at the top with numbers 1 thru 10 on them. You click the 10 and it shows you *only* the images you voted a 10. Click the 9, you see your 9 votes, and so on.
So combining your idea and this one, you could quickly go in order, viewing full size, all of the images that you voted on.

[speaking as a programmer, also]
The images IDs are already being loaded into memory when we're voting, so that same method/function can be used to populate the collection/array/sorted list when viewing results.
In fact, all IDs don't really have to be loaded into memory if server-side cursors are used on the backend database.

Next, Previous and Slideshow buttons everywhere!
In Portfolio pages is a must.

I guess they must be doing it that way to "remember" the random order. Interesting... it's still not a trivial task since they have to decide on how the viewing page will look... like the normal viewing page or like the voting page?
and I don't see how cursors are going to do any good. is a cursor going to wait around for a user to go to the next web page?

speaking as a Senior Software Developer II (yes, fear me...), i think don's nuts... (but i've thought that ever since he gave me a 5 on my zen photo....)
wouldn't take a full day to implement this idea...

Depending on where you put the cursor (web server, DB server, etc). This "cursor" doesn't have to be one in the traditional sense. It can just be a marker of the last of the current 5 images (or 10, or 20). That way, the next batch can be easily retrieved, but not on every HTTP request. In this case, it can reside as a temporary cookie or passed back and forth as request variable, thus eliminating state on the servers.

If they've encapsulated those pages into classes, then those can be inherited and extended with these new features, removing the need to create them from scratch.
Just my (USD) $0.02 worth.

They wouldn't need to be created from scratch, regardless. I just think it would take a little thought to do right, and the piece of carp that kudzu would throw together in less than a day would not be very satisfying to the DPCers... but I would give it a 5, kudzu! ;)
