That's best discussed in the V5 upgrade thread. This thread is for discussing a specific change to the voting system that was trialled a couple of months ago.

New VS Mode
Probably because it is easier to "opt out" once in Gallery Options and then it applies to all uploads Pretty strange though. There`s a box for critique, there`s a box for votes, but no box for VS mode :)

What's made you grumpy today?
I ordered a camera the other day, paid extra to get it delivered quickly. It was supposed to be delivered by a company called DPD (never heard of them!). I was expecting it yesterday, their e-mail was very specific "delivered between 13.53 - 14.53" (really?) - needless to say, it didn't turn up. So I went on line and 'tracked' it. According to that, they tried to deliver it, but couldn't ...

Yes, the magistrate said it was impossible to be sure what were the words spoken. Not quite how it is being painted. This is the full verdict: 'The prosecution has presented a strong case.

No need for dawn shoots or, worse, those annoying sunsets which interfere with drinking time. We'll just take over a pub for a night and vaguely talk about photography. This could be a winner!!"

Duncan Evans puts the Nikon D90, Canon EOS 550D and the Pentax K-7 through their paces in a head to head comparison test.

Moving on up! For the ultimate image quality you should consider going full-frame and here we test three of the very best.

Sony finally go it alone with the Alpha A230. Matt Grayson gives his views.

It's tiring trudging around shops and trying to find cameras navigating that pesky search option. So we've compiled the best DSLRs in the mid-range and put them here.

Grey cards and colour meters have been the secret weapon of pro photographers for years, Peter Bargh checks out the Gray Card from FocusFX.nl

Next up in the autumn release schedule of DSLRs is the 12Mp offering from Sony. With its Exmor Sensor and BIONZ processor it�s considerably more advanced than Duncan Evans� feeble organic brain.

Enhance your pulling power. Here, we test three popular compact cameras with 10x optical zoom lenses selling for under £200.

Christmas is coming! We test three great value for money, feature-rich compacts that make for perfect presents.

Matt Grayson went to swinging London to see the new D90 DSLR from Nikon. Groovy.

The Nikon Coolpix S80 is a stylish product that's compact and unobtrusive, but is the picture quality just as good? John Riley finds out.

Nikon owners, put down your scythes and pitchforks. The Nikon D60 isn't two cameras bolted together in a Frankenstein-esque way. It's a pure Nikon DSLR with an old Canon name badge. Matt Grayson investigates.

The Konica Minolta Dynax 7D Digital SLR is reviewed here by ePHOTOzine editor Peter Bargh and member Gary Wolstenholme.
Techniques

Think the grey card is of no use in this digital age? Think again.

Despite what some experts say, you don't have to own five studio flash heads to produce high-key lighting.

Anyone can take a picture of a person but to take a really great picture of someone takes practice, patience and a little bit of know how. We spoke to three professional portrait photographers to see what tips they have for taking better portraits. Here's part one.

Increase your darkroom skills with this great technique from Peter Bargh - using a torch to control tonal density.

See how a hand-held light meter will help you get better exposures, even if you are using a digital camera.

We show you how to create an attractive heart effect in Adobe Photoshop Elements.

Create artistic shapes on paper in this traditional darkroom technique shared by Peter Bargh.

Peter Bargh shows you how to make a contact sheet of your black & white negatives.

Robin Whalley shares his tips on "cropping" landscapes.

Applying a few creative touches to your picture before its printed will ensure your results look more interesting.

Your safelight may not be as safe as it sounds and this would result in fogged prints. Peter Bargh shows you how you can test yours and prevent disappointment.

If you like to get it right in camera rather than editing later you should pack some filters when you're heading out to shoot landscapes.
