If one has to give one's name, and reasons in a comments area for one's vote, it might tend to balance things out in the end, you know, more egg on one face, less on another. Having to own up to, and justify one's vote means a whole new ballgame.
And in the end, it might lead to some rather lively debates in the forum.
Everyone wins, so to speak....or loses, however yo' look at it.
Oops, almost forgot the apostrophe, have to watch our English.

Hmmm - your right. Looks like its broke to me. I've reported it so hopefully the chaps can fix it.
Hi everyone,
In regards to the problem with the next/prev. We have upgrades in mine which will allow the choice to view the challenge uploads in rating order (currently) or date uploaded.
Quote: David, what about the idea of not revealing the totals until the end of the challenge? It would make it hard to tactically vote if you didn't know the running totals. Of course this would mean that you couldn't allow browsing by ratings order.
That sounds like a good idea, perhaps you could even go one further and make the uploads anonymous so people cant vote for their favourite photographers and the vote is on the basis of the photo only.
I know people could PM others and let them know they've entered and which one to vote for. But if anyone is that sad then nothing will stop them having to win through cheating.

Thats what I would like to see and also the entries not being shown in any order of score.
an interesting addition to the gallery would be an anonymous section where shots are presented to the viewer (i.e. us) in pairs and you click on the one of the pair you prefer.
the one that gets clicked gets 1 point, the other gets -1
the photos are selected randomly - or maybe by "subject" area - then each day the we get a top 10
note the word INTERESTING, it's not a perfect solution or even a solution to the usual problems with voting.
I did one with the contestants for Miss World once, that was like the FA cup in that you started off with 64, knocked out 32, then the second round etc. till you got to the final 2.
a different kind of challenge, and one where you ahve a simple decision - a choice of 2 shots - and to get to the next shot, you HAVE to choose one
hmmmm - quite like that idea
Another option would be to have a weekly/monthly challange for each of the categorys in the upload area (something for everyone)with the winners going into a special Challange Winners gallery.
Again it would have to be anonymous upload and score until after the challange ends even for those taking part.

is there still about 10000 categories without any challenges against them?
I stared one called Bradford Town Hall once
got no chalenges, so guess I win that one!
the easier it is to use, the more we will use it - I think having lots of little challenges made it so hard to get anywhere. There were a few bigger generic challenges that were good, but when it came down to "best park bench in luton", you gave up.
I like the idea of 2 shots on screen, then making a simple binary choice, then getting 2 shots on screen... and on it goes.
I bet it'd get sooo addictive, people will see more shots than they currently do and so long as people don't put names on the frames, it;'ll be reasonably anonymous
Quote: There probably are a lot of dead challanges, this is why it may be worth while starting again with a different format
Not anymore, and there are prizes on offer with these two
Lomography Challenge
Festivals/carnivals
Paul, your Lomography link goes to "elinchrom999's Gallery" which is empty.
I saw this one in the forums and could not make out what it was about so gave it a miss, I do not own or even know what a Lomography camera is.
Did not see the Festival one, there are a couple of events coming up in my area over the next couple of weeks so may give that a go.

Go for it, and remember they don`t necessarily have to include anything to do with music.
