I think this issue is unrelated. A new challenge was missing also before the changeover:

Before changeover:



After changeover:

I'll take care of that now. I think maybe Thanksgiving must have put us all to sleep...

ETA: Done & Dusted. One of Neat's, since she mentioned it first :-)

This may be unrelated, but I think I am missing 25-30 or so ribbons. ...pretty sure.

Yes I realise that. And thanks for the new challenge :)

I noticed the blue ribbon header has changed too.

not sure if other ppl are getting this 'problem' .. since the new hosting service kicked in ..

but say you've submitted to a challenge which hasnt gone in for voting ..
and on the home page you click on the challenge to view your image ..
the page that opens allows you to put in details and title etc ..
you can then preview your image by clicking on the title you've given it or 'preview your entry' .. top left hand side of page .. under 'thumbnail preview' ..

quite a few times when i've gone through that process i'm just getting very very small thumbnail that has nothing much in it except a grey area with some white design thats difficult to make out .. both on the page where i enter the title and details and the page i open to view my entry .. ie.. i cant see my photo ..

this has happened a few times .. in both my firefox browser and my phone ..

its seems a bit random .. because one time i got the problem on my phone but my photo opened ok in my browser ..
tonight i can open a couple of photos that have yet to go into voting .. but there's one i cant .. either on my phone or in the browser ..
so like i say .. its a bit random ..

here's what it looks like when i try and preview my entry ..


thoughts .. :)

I've got two entries waiting for rollover and one shows up normally and the other like Roz's. Strange.

I woke up in a totally new place.

I looked around.

Everything looked the same.

I went back to sleep… feeling safe.

Thanks!

Sorry to admit but I see nothing new. Perhaps it's a good sign

If this looks AFTER the change as posted by Neat, the font looks tiny:

When working on cloning the site I needed a quick way to distinguish between the two, so I made a slight change to the logo...

thankyou Mita .. :)

here's another one ..
I submitted to a challenge ..
then decided on another photo ..

I didn't unsubmit .. I just reuploaded the other photo..
this is something I've done before with no problem ..

I just checked to see my calendar entry and was surprised to see the photo I had replaced was entered and not the one I just replaced it with ..

I refreshed the page and tried several times to see if it would revert to the photo I wanted to enter .. but the previous one kept showing as what I've entered ..

i even downloaded the pic and the one I'd replaced downloaded ..

so I unsubmitted and resubmitted..
everything looked ok .. the photo I wanted to enter appeared to be submitted ..

the next morning i checked on my phone and the previous photo appears to be submitted now .. not the one I resubmitted..
and that's on my phone and in my browser ..

edit to add .. i've now unsubmitted and resubmitted and it seems that the photo i want to enter is entered .. but that was the case before when seemed to have reverted .. :(

Do bear in mind that browsers (and especially phone browsers) often first display cached pages from when you last visited a site until you refresh... That may or may not be the case here. You can always ask someone on SC to check your entry and describe to you what they see if it gets confusing...

thanks Robert ..
I've unsubmitted and resubmitted ..
and I think the proper photo is entered ..
here's hoping ..!!.. ;)

I submitted one I shot today to the "calendar" challenge, but it wouldn't let me add camera info because it said the date (today) was outside the acceptable range. So I had to select the 26th (yesterday) to be able to save changes.

This is a "known bug" -- photos are "rejected" when submitted within about 12 hours of the deadline. I do what you did and put the actual date in the photographer's notes.

Didn't receive an email notification for submitting original. Not that it's a biggie, just saying.

I decided to comment on all images in the calendar challenge but it says I only voted on 95% / even though I commented on all 18 that were available to me to comment. I am sure it is because I didn't comment on my own but I felt like in the past it would say 100% even when I was entered. Maybe I am mis-remembering.

It's a known bug, Nobody, as far as I know, has ever figured out why sometimes it's there and other times it's not. I get it maybe 1 out of 3 challenges when I am voting, and I basically enter all of them...
