I am trying to submit an entry for Bokeh... but it won't let me edit the title. I get an error that says photo is outside of challenge date... but it is 1st Aug and was taken today.

Have you cked your camera date? If that’s off then it won’t let you submit...

See the recent thread "Outside Date Range". Someone else had the problem and found it worked out OK if he went back and edited the title before uploading

Just change the date on the submission form to anything earlier. As stated, it's a known issue.

But Bokeh just rolled over at midnight, so the system should not let him change the date to yesterday . . . then the photo would have been taken too early for the challenge. I think either put the title in before uploading as PennyClick suggested and just let the camera info fall where it may OR wait until tomorrow to make your submission.

Unless, as Ja-9 said your camera setting is wrong . . .

Just try changing the exposure date on the submission form to August 2nd. It is not used for validation anyway.

Duh . . . good idea, Art Roflmao. I was only thinking of a fix for when the problem occurs on the last day of the submission period.

Thanks All... I changed the date to the 2nd August and it let me complete the edit.
I've not seen this happen before and I don't believe that my camera settings are to blame.

Chris, your profile places you in England, which is multiple time zones ahead of DPC server time (USA Eastern time zone). I'm sure you are aware, but it seems like a good time to remind other people who might be submitting at the early or late ends of a challenge period that the opening and closing of the opportunity is based on DPC server time. That can be an issue, particularly for those who forget while traveling. Don't ask me how I know this.

The submission bug in the system is also real. One thread said that uploading to your workshop space then submitted using the "copy from workshop" button on the challenge submission page may another way to bypass that bug.

That i totally true, I have missed several challenges or put in a entry that was out of date because of time zone's and other countries. Really simple mistake to make too. Rollover for me on Sundays and Mondays is 9pm.
