Quote - People could get a few submmissions in late, and I will still add them.

but not mine apparently even though it was in on time and you've seen lots of reminders.

Quote - The challenge is not a life or death  million dollar prize deal.

Never for a moment suggested it was. but common courtesy costs nothing

Quote - Just a fun challenge to get people out honing their photo skills.

pointless if the effort is then wasted.

Quote - The new forum is also a bit confusing for posts the way I have been used to for the last 4 yrs.

Funny, that. I'd just got the hang of the look and feel when it all changed. I may not be wild about the new format, but it has never confused me. I do, however, find all the "broken" bits more than a little irritating as time goes by. Minor hiccups are one thing, but releasing greatwadges of untested code is another.

Quote - What does help if everyone would put down  Monthly Challenge April, or Monthly Challenge Natural Fractal...or whatever theme.

One set of instructions states to use the subject 'Monthly Challenge', the other specifies nothing at all.

Quote - If they had the right size thumbnaill,

As Cynlee very kindly spotted for me after I'd asked a number of people if they could see whether I had made a mistake. I'd rectified that before you posted this response, so i assume you hadn't noticed.  

and one image per thread.

Yes, I did that - unless you count amending the thumbnail after someone else pointed out a minor error.  I counted them. Two submissions, two threads. Not three submissions munged into one montage, or anything clever.

Not saying you did it wrong though.

Good. See above.

Quote - Anyways...I do have a other things to do  in my home

As do we all. Which is why your lack of reaction to both email and forum postings has been particularly galling. My efforts might well not be the best of the bunch, but that isn't supposed to be the point. Good to see that you had time to post your own stuff to the forum in among all the hectic activity - it's so easy to forget when running round after everyone else.

I only recieved the one email from you today.

And ignored messages in 3 threads, including posting from directly beneath one of them.

Quote - Kort is good and reminds me if I missed his.

I was good - I assumed I'd got something wrong and asked what it was. You ignored me and most of the rest of the clique kept telling me to look at the where the information isn't.

Quote - Near the end of month we have to choose a GOM, work on themes, change html things...the list goes on.

Of course it does. And this is why I no longer volunteer for such activities unless as one of a reliable team, however nicely people ask me (and it does happen, believe it or not). I do test my own HTML before I release it, though.

Quote - So please don't take it as if I am ignoring or not allowing it.
Be assured if there is an issue with it I would let you know.

So if not wrong, and not ignored, then what?

Quote - Thanks all for the patience.

Enjoy your dinner. It is now stupid o'clock here in the UK and I have to get up in about 5 hours time.
