Let us know what browser and stuff you are using, and I'll make sure Drew and Lang see this.

This isn't so much a "difficulty" as it is an "oddity," but I found that when I voted on the last picture in both the open and member challenges, the last picture would show up again and then random other shots would begin showing up.

I don't know whether this has been mentioned before... but this seemed a bit confusing to me. I'd much prefer that when I vote on the last image, the full slate of images would show up in the order of votes like it used to.

Same thing happened to me, and I was a little confused as well! I also would prefer that the "full slate" of images show up in the order of votes like it used to.

If you change your preferences to a rather large number, you can do just that.

I coulda misunderstood you here, how did it USED to show up, that it doesn't do know?

After I used to finish voting for the last image in a challenge, I would be returned to a page of thumbnails of all of the images of that challenge. Instead, now I simply get a previous image that I already voted on (with the score I gave it highlighted).

Also, I noticed that the "randomization" seems to be different now. Before, it seemed that once I had my random order of images to vote on, that order was set in stone throughout the rest of the challenge. Now the images seem to "re-randomize" each with each visit while voting.

I don't think my comments are correct. It's showing only one on motion and one on free study. I don't think that's correct. :)

langdon: Thank You for reminding me about the preferences!! I remember seeing that, but hadn't changed it, and did not recall that I could do that. I changed it, and now the thumbs are all on the same page - I like that. (That's also exactly what I was referring to when I said "used to"):)
Thanks so much,
Linda

The new randomization scheme is very problematic for me, since I like to se a photo, then go back to the thumbnails and see another. I never vote on any image until I've sen it more than twice, but now, everytime I return with the back icon to the thumbnails, the order has changed, and I cannot find my next image of interest, and easely return to the images i am ready to vote on. Is this the way it was programmed?

I am sure this has been brought up somewhere before, but I missed it.
I really miss the part that tells me how many pics I have voted on and how many are left...

Never mind! I just found it. I knew you had it somewhere...

I didn`t see it until I went back to continue my votes. At the top of the page tells the count. However the count is not displayed continuously while voting as before. :(

A couple of observations while voting this time --

1) As mentioned before, when I had completed the round of voting, instead of showing me the page of thumbnails of all the images, or my own image (as it has done before), it simply started rotating me through the ones I had already voted on, sometimes just alternating between 2 or 3 pics. At first, I thought the same picture had been submitted 3 times! :-)

2) IF possible, it would help me as well to have how many I have voted on either at the top of the voting page, or on the home page somewhere. I know it is on the first initial voting page, but sometimes I break my voting into several sessions, adn it helps to know that I only have x number of submissions left, so I will go ahead and finish them.

Having said this, if everything stays the way it is, so be it, no complaints here, I am enjoying the new site tremendously!. If these two things were to change, though -- awesome! :-)

I would also prefer that images stay in one set order. As a way around this, you can right click and open each photo in a new window (or tab for Mozilla/Phoenix) and then go back to the original window, so the order never changes. Then if you tile or stagger your windows, you can just click and drag another photo into the second window/tab.
