Photography Question

Where's my submission?


I entered a flower today via my Member page by clicking "enter this photo" and filled out the form, it shows in my page of "my entries" but it's not shoiwing in the "recent entries main pages" at all. So where did it go? Did it actually get submitted?

  The Recent Entries pages display all entries in order of the Photo ID# for each image---the Photo ID# is assigned when you FIRST uploaded that image. So, whenever you enter a photo from the Member Center, that was previously uploaded in the past, that photo has the Photo ID# from date of original upload---not from the contest entry date. Therefore, it will first appear several-to-many pages back in the Recent Entries, never on Page 1, unless you're entering it during the first few hours of the first day of the month.
The flip side to this, is that BP gets 800+ entries a day---so even if you upload a fresh image directly into the Contest, within several minutes, it will no longer be on Page 1 of Recent Entries, and will very quickly move back several pages anyway, as newer entries (with newer Photo ID#'s) push it back.
