I would assume if a pic recieved enough votes (all made in the same day) to get it into the hot 20, and it wasn't knocked out by other pics, that it would stay up there for 7 days. (seems like a simple, logical theory, lol) Yet, you have the variable that all the votes any picture has, probably didn't all come in on the same exact day (see my shakey theory on that in post #24) And, the variable that the minimum amount of votes for a pic to show up just at #20 can change. ----- Older pics getting up into the hot 20 are still getting votes, it's the only way to get in there. Members go looking at "best ranked", etc., and they find these pics with 100 comments on it, and then vote on it. It has happened to myself on the rare occasion (twice in the past 3 years) `Course were not naive to the fact of clone voting, which we/I check on, pretty regularly, actually. "Friendly voting"? Well, what can I say, it's not a perfect world, lol. We do what we can. ;o/ AS
