One think THAT really IRKS me to no END is the way the RENDER forums are setup...the word "ARCHAIC" certainly comes to mind! Many good threads end up getting lost and most people (myself included) just don't have the time to go trudging thru all the stuff! I try to comment and participate as much as I can! The scavenger hunt (I thought) was a way to push ourselves a bit (and have some fun too) But maybe it WAS too much! The forum isn't really designed for this kinda thing and maybe did get "overwhelmed" with multiple threads! Without the links Doug provided, I don't think the Hunt would have had as much participation as it did! I feel the monthly challenges ARE a good thing, but the subject matter is sometimes very broad and can be interpreted in MANY ways! The guidelines are pretty loose and I don't think the MODS want to start POLICING submissions!?!? I think its more about participation in the long run and up to the individual to challenge themselves if the REALLY want to learn!

Maybe to alleviate some of the TRAFFIC here! We should start using the GALLERY for our challege posts! There is a selection on the "By Genre" drop down menu when you upload entitled "CHALLENGE" This would eliminate duplicate posts and we could then use this a filter to SEE all the entries! It would also be cool if you could EMBED multiple pix in a MESSAGE! I've tried this using HTML tags and it doesn't seem to work!

Okay I'm done!

L8r!
