New Format - I can understand that, but I doubt I will have it up for the start of May's Challenge. I will strive to have it up for the voting part of the challenge later next month. I have had to hit the ground running as a moderator for the Bryce Forum, and I am playing catch-up. I WANT it up asap, but it will just take some time, like I said, be merciful. But, for right now, I am going to instate format rules for entries to lower the actual total size of the thread that will hold the entries for voting. Basically, a dimension maximum of 800x600, saved at a maximum of 90%. This will save on total file size and make it a bit more fair visually; i.e. a 400x400 entry vs. a 1280x1024 entry. Last challenge, the total amount of pics added up to 2Mb. This would have been a MAJOR pain/impossible for most people to have loaded that whole thread, so they could see all the pics, so they could vote. So...I did something, that maybe I shouldn't have, but I wasn't a Mod yet, so hopefully I can't be held accountable...lol. Before I uploaded all the pics for voting I made sure the .jpgs saved at 100% quality, were re-saved at 90%. I am pretty good at doing this, and made sure no pic suffered visually. Anyway...the total size of entries when down to 1Mb. If I hadn't done that, not as many people might have voted. Uhm...forgive me? I'll produce those new rules for dimensions and compression quality, so it will not be a issue in the future. AgentSmith
