I've been on this site for a few years now, and the only question I have left unanswered is a simple one... In your list of challenge entries on your profile, there are a bunch of categories. (title, date, avg., place, comments, views etc.) one of these categories is '%... What is it? Why would you need a percent for your challenge entry? I get numbers from 1% to 89% and there doesn't appear to be any pattern at all or connection to avg. vote. What determines this percent? What does it mean?

I'm sure this sounds like a newbie question but could you answer it?

It's your finishing percentile.

It is your percentile ranking in the challenge. the 100th percentile is the top rated shot, 0% is the brown ribbon.

Its where you ranked compared to the total entries. I think it would be better if our top challenge entries were based on that instead of points. I have ones in the top that % wise were worse than ones not showing that ranked higher - but the average score was lower for the entire challenge.

If you have not seen this thread before, it should answer pretty much everything.

Statistically favorite photographer is one that a lot of people don't find for awhile and is sorta cool. You can get there by going to your favorites, then at the bottom left, "Manage my favorites" and then finally "View your Statistically favorite photographers"
