July 2013 Countdown Thread
Here we are at August 15th. I just completed a survey (another one) for BP earlier today, but hadn't realized that controversy over the hearts/favorites on images that can impact judging. If that's the case, I might be done entering soon. I am a very loyal BP person - have been on this site and learned from so many of the great teachers and people here since 2005. I'm sad to see some of the changes, but all in the name of progress, right?Enough of my rant...let's pick our hopefuls from July and all keep our fingers crossed! Helpful hints for attaching photos into Forum Threads:
1) Sign into BP completely (name + password.)
2) If you have NOT YET entered the Contest today, you can use the "Photo ID" to pull an existing image from your Member Center into your reply to this thread (avoiding a duplicate image upload.) Get the Photo ID# from your Member Center, come to back this thread, click Respond, enter the text of your reply, then choose "1" from the images-to-attach drop-down. Click Submit; at the next screen populate the "Photo ID" box at the right. Skip the other fields on that screen.
3) If you HAVE ALREADY entered the Contest today before replying to this thread, you can't use the Photo ID method today. You can either wait until tomorrow to reply here (before your new Contest entry!) or, upload a new copy of the particular image (from your PC) into this thread. This produces a duplicate image in your Member Center; however, you don't have to make that duplicate visible in your Gallery.
4) If you're uploading a duplicate, maybe title it "For Forum" so it stands out in your Member Center, for easier housecleaning later... This can help direct viewers to find the original image in your gallery, when they want to leave a comment. Likewise, if you want to add a comment to a photo seen here, try to tell if it is a duplicate upload. As a courtesy, try to find the original image in the member's gallery and leave your comment there instead of on the duplicate---that way, if the duplicate is deleted later, the comment history isn't lost. Good luck everyone!!!

What I liked about Better Photo is equal chances of success regardless comments and favorites you get. That made them different and better. So I am quite dissapointed with their new decission. Thank you for mentioning this.
I don´t participate but I read every month your treads with joy. Good luck to everyone!
