Pixels R Us team has a private message page that we can access from a link that appears in the "Private Messaging Inbox" on the DPC home page in the left upper corner below the menu bar and to the left of the challenge results. I don't know if all teams have them up yet, but I think that would be the place to look for access.

But we've had that for two weeks. I was expecting a separate forum thread above the normal thread chart (like we had in the last tournament).

You know, the one that wouldn't go away, and now I can't expand it...

We have our group message functionality via the messaging system - pretty much offers the same functionality. But, I’ve raised it as an issue anyway.

Well, we know what we're shooting, we just don't know who we're shooting against. No thread, no divisions, no schedule. :(

Was just about posting the same. Very sloppy indeed.

Someone must have forgotten to turn the switch before going to bed. Not a great start after all the build up to this competition.

I was out of town last week ... what ARE we shooting (which Challenge kicks off DPL?).

Maybe a new thread would be helpful?

Thanks! :-) Totally glazed right over that when I looked at the open challenge list.

Ok I'm way out of the loop...where is the link to DPL rules and all that?


For some reason I can't tick the green lettering next to my name to accept the invite...Bear, can you or another SC go in and fix that? Please?

ETA: OK Finally figured it out, it was the teeny lil greyed-out letters at the top of the team list that I didn't see til now that I had to click. Sure you guys still want someone so inept on your team? ;-)

are we going back to only a week to shoot for DPL challenges? If so I may have to drop out now...………………...

DPL challenges have a one-week timeframe. Yes.

and where is that stated?

If it is only a week I personally am not happy. The move from 1 week to 2 weeks for challenges is the main reason I have stayed on DPC, with my super busy work schedule a week is not really long enough. I know what they say about assumptions but I honestly did assume that DPL will continue with the current 2 week challenges. I know one of the reasons to do a DPL season was to bring some life back to the site but can't help think that going back to a week for entry into a challenge will negatively impact that.

Really bad decision in my opinion.

Edit - what is the reasoning to going to 1 week for DPL?

Here, in the OP.

... also discussed in this current thread about 7 pages back.

I think 1 week, otherwise it would end up being a 6 month long competition, and more people would be bored of that and leave

It was stated in the DPL Announcement thread -- the one-week challenges are necessary to both keep the scoring updated and to avoid having to re-write all the code to run the DPL (which would not have happened).

guess I will be pretty useless to my team...…………………………………

also another reason to not re-up my membership when it expires

I understand your frustration. You may benefit from changing your strategy. I changed mine when my 3rd child was born. I knew my free time was going to be limited …
a) I always have a camera (or phone with a camera) with me.
b) I brainstorm during the first few days of a challenge (which , presumably can be done at work, in the car, in bed, while dreaming, in elevators, while coaching my kids' sports, while at swim meets, etc).
c) I also usually end up trying to fit my work / life activities into the challenges ... or the challenges into my life - depending how you look at it.
d) I consider my limited timeframe a new, more challenging challenge! ;)

Good attitude and ideas. I may share this with my team. I know several have pretty unforgiving work schedules.

This site went with, what, 10 to 12 years of "weekly" challenges before switching to 2 weeks ... with people meeting the timeline on a consistent basis. I think a one week submission period puts the "challenge" back in DPChallenge!

How many do NOT have the team PM discussions?

We don’t

Might be easier to ask who DOES have them. I don't think anyone does yet, do they?
