February Countdown Thread

Some helpful hints for attaching photos into a BP Forum Thread, if you're unfamiliar with the process:
1) Sign into BP. IF YOU HAVEN'T entered the Contest for today, you can use the "Photo ID" method to pull an existing image (from your Member Center) into your reply here.
a. Jot down the PhotoID # of the photo you wish to share. To determine your PhotoID, go to the little Pancakes icon, then click “My Photos”, then “Manage/Enter.” The PhotoID is right below the number.
b. Go to the Countdown Contest thread. Click “Respond” at the bottom of the page.
c. Type in whatever you wish; e.g., “Here’s my Fav image for the month.”

d. Click the “Select” button below the text input box, and select “1.” Toggle on “Notify” box if you wish to be notified. Click “Submit.”

e. The Image Uploader appears. On the right-hand side, you’ll see an input box for the PhotoID (from step 1a). Type it in then click “submit your photo.” Then, return to the forum thread and you’ll see your photo.

2) IF YOU HAVE ALREADY entered the Contest for today, you can't use the Photo ID method *today*. Either wait until tomorrow to reply here first, or upload a copy of the image (from your PC) and attach to this thread. This produces a duplicate image in your Member Center; however, you don't have to make that duplicate visible in your Gallery.

3) If you're uploading a duplicate, I suggest titling it "For Forum" so it stands out in your Member Center, for easier housecleaning later on. This can also help nudge BP viewers to go find the original image in your gallery, if they want to leave a comment. Likewise, if you want to add a comment to a photo seen here, first 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... which may one day be deleted.

	Earth's Contours & Clouds Looking down from around 39,000 ft from an airplane window, shot the snowy mountains and clouds somewhere over Turkey as the last light falls on the clouds and the mountain peaks. Looking in the bottom right of the frame, a small town by the edge of the mountain with its road network can be seen. Usman M. Bajwa

	Akureyri Sky A few miles outside of the northern city of Akureyri, Iceland, we were able to spot the northern lights - my first time seeing them, ever. I was tickled to see I captured a shooting star as well, in this long exposure. Light from a nearly-full moon is brightening the ground and mountains at left. 2/16 2nd - N&L Chris Budny

Peggy, I don't think the SF badge shows up for our photos that are posted here, even though the EP does..and I think same for finalists/golds.

Yes, CONGRATULATIONS to all!

Such awesome beautiful photos. So many more should have made it... this was a tough month because there was so much talent.

Congrats to the Finalists too.

BTW, I just added the theme for May... I love the shoulder seasons when travelling, especially entering the summer season (because people are really happy to see you, the day is not too hot, and there are less people around)... so...

Here's the theme for May

Have fun, and Congrats again to the winners for February.

Stay tuned for fun announcements about the All Time...

Someone mentioned the badges were not showing up in the Profile > My Photos > Manage/Edit page

It's been fixed!

You'll now see Finalist, Staff Fav, and Winner badges there.

This should make it easier to enter only photos that have not already won.

Thanks and good night :)

Jim
