Uploading picture to free contest When I select a picture to enter it into a free contest, I never see it show up in "recent entries" like I used to before. Even if I come back a day later it isn't there :( It isn't just one picture, I have tried uploading 6, all on different days, and none of them seem to work. It said that it was successfully uploaded, but how come I can't see it!? Its very frustrating, any ideas as to why its not working? Thanks, Vicki

Hi Victoria. Most likely, the answer is this: If you are entering an *existing* photo (directly from your member center) into the contest, that photo has a Photo ID# associated with it---the ID# is assigned when you FIRST uploaded that photo, not on the date of contest entry. The Recent Entries pages are sorted by that number, for everyone. So a fresh entry today, uploaded to BP for the first time just moments ago, will appear on page one for a few minutes... but an entry made from your member center, of an image which you uploaded a few days ago, will have a much older Photo ID#, and thus will be many pages back, instantly, in the Recent Entries. (Keep in mind, the Free Contest gets nearly 1,000 entries a day, so even a brand-new upload this morning, will be well off of Page 1 in less than a few hours.)

Ah! Thats explains it. My pictures that I uploaded have been sitting in my member center for a while now. Thank you very much for your response!
