Can someone tell me if they are experiencing the same difficulty I am. I do not receive my challenge notification until the last day of entry.
Thanks for any input you can provide.

do you mean when you submit the photo to the challenge you dont get the email that DPC got it until the day the challenge starts??

I have always gotten the email for my submission right away, within 1 to 2 minutes of the photo upload completion..

I wonder if some email servers are verifying its not spam related before relaying it on to people and its just taking a long time to get to get to some people.

No, it's the weekly newsletter....I turned it off in my preferences because by the time it came I'd already submitted the shot for open...

What I am referring to is the notification that a Challenge is starting on a particular date. I am not receiving this information until the very last day and usually mid-day (I live in Canada EST). Hope this clears up any questions.

yes same here, I thought it was part of the "challenge" ;-)

I don't believe the email you are receiving is intended to be a "challenge notification" email. If it is the email I'm thinking of, it is simply a "weekly newsletter" that covers recent winners, recent challenge announcements, etc. for those that don't regularly frequent the site.

is this an option you checked in your preferences ? if so I do believe that is only to be notified of the speed challenges and those are very short.

I have that option checked in my preferences and have never received an email about a speed challenge

There are two check boxes, one for speed challenges and one for a "weekly update". I have not had either checked (I spend too much time here already). I just checked the "weekly update" box, we'll see what happens this weekend.

But I've never received notice or a speed challenge...

Weekly Update
Send me the weekly update, which includes: challenge winners, new challenges, and site news.
This option is check as ON
I used to receieve the information on about the start date of the challenges. I am wondering if someone in Admin of DPC has changed the mail serving date to the last day of challenges? Maybe someone directly involved with DPC admin could answer this question.
Thanks
