| The results of the 'Fairy Tales III' challenge have been recalculated, due to the disqualification of the former 1st place image for having an invalid date stamp. Everyone else gets bumped up a notch! |

| Why don't the system check the date when the entry is uploaded? |

| I'm in shock - while I'm happy to have moved up to win another ribbon (in the same week!!!) because of the DQ, it's still sad for the previous winner. |

| I'm a little sad to be disqualified because the people who helped me in making this picture were more enthusiastic than me for the result. I'm sorry to disappoint them. It 's all my fault. I should check the date of the camera. However I thank everyone for their nice comments and good votes. |

Because the smaller files we use for submission don't usually have any EXIF (e.g., when you Save For Web, SFW from PS, there's no EXIF).

soooo.. I wasn't going to say anything... BUT..
I'm now in 4th place, with the exact same # of votes, and the exact same score as 3rd.
So do I get a ribbon too? Do I get to share the front page with  Love? |

I agree. And I believe there's recent precedent. |

First do the math, and make sure that it's the exact same score out to the 10 or 11 decimal places to which it's calculated (the system rounds, so it's possible it's not exactly the same.)
If it calculates out to exactly the same, submit a ticket. They will adjust the ribbons if it's an exact tie -- but it seems like you need to point it out (it doesn't look like it's an automatic thing.)

You're right... it's not an automatic thing, and it's not something that anyone on Site Council can control, either. I put a note in to the powers that be in hopes that the tie can be reflected on the home page. Thanks for bringing it to our attention! |

Love &  Dudski congrats on the tie. I noticed the 4th place image now has been removed, not DQed. Only seen it a couple times since I've been here. What's up with that? Will it stay in 4th place without a image? |

| I hadn't noticed that they tied until I saw four pics up on the front page. Freaked me out at first. Congrats to everyone, and condolences to others. |

It must be because the former 4th place is now the equal 3rd place so there is no longer a 4th place. With four images ahead of it the next place is 5th. |
