FEEDBACK REQUESTED New Photo Contests!

[BowhunterNJ]

OK, I'm working on a new app for all Contests, but giving this particular Photo Contest specific app a trial run to get feedback from the members!  Please add pictures, vote, and give a run through and let me know if you spot any issues!

You'll see a Photo Contests link in the menu system here

 

Issues Identified:

• Can't edit title or caption after submitting picture in contest
• Missing contest name in Activity Stream notification when a user enters the contest, just says "entered a contest"
• Photo cropping/thumbnailing impacts viewing.  Should likely be a reduced size thumbnail (maybe stretch to fit or give options to stretch vs crop?), rather than a cropped one.
• Photo is not clickable in the Activity Stream to take you to its entry page.
• Min/Max photo sizing on display to keep the viewing consistent
• Preview of image entered into the contest only shows on first post of the entry in Activity Stream.  Once someone comments on it, it is "bumped to the top" like a forum topic but loses the image preview.  Would be best to maintain the image preview as that entire item stream is about that one image and it gives it context and visual appeal.

There is currently no active wife/girlfriend Photo Contest

Maybe if it relates to fishing or you caught her on a trail camera

Gave it a shot just to see if it's working for you

Unlimited, it all comes down to votes for each picture

[BowhunterNJ]

This is really trial runs to identify gaps we find in features missing or not working correctly or could be improved upon.

Was pretty simple on the pc

Does it keep you from voting for yourself or multiple times for someone else? nevermind, just found out can't do either

Heck no, just making sure the dems on here can't steal the contests, something our gov needs to do.

You have to click on photo contests up on the same bar as 'recent activity' and 'forums' and put it there.  2023 only so far for the testing.  Nice buck.  Did you end up killing him since then?
