If we did it that way, we would probably know who would be the 'winner' and choosing the next month's theme, and they could have the new theme posted on the 1st of August. Unless people feel they need the entire 4 weeks to take pics for the challenge.

Sounds like a good compromise to me. I'll add a poll to the Challenge thread on the 25th of each month (except perhaps February!) to close on the 30th/31st. Plenty of time for shooting, then. Which reminds me I have to go out and start shooting!

Obviously an avid devotee of the Photo Challenge. As Lenny pointed out, and as outlined in my post a few above yours, the entries were all seperated out into a new Challenge thread...

EDIT: I've stuck the Photo Challenge thread in Tech, so that it is easier to find.

Lady of Winterfell · 10th July 2008, 05:00 PM

Thanks for making it a Sticky thread, good idea!

Majimaune · 11th July 2008, 04:37 AM

Yes thanks Cul, much better.

I had something to say...I want to see pics of Europe people! I'll find get some of Australia so you can see the beauty of our land.

I can still see it. You might have been looking in the wrong thread.

Thanks Lenny.

We'e going to have some issues when it comes to voting, as there is a limit of ten options on polls, and we're currently at sixteen entries, with a few more to come, I think. What's everyone think of opening up a voting thread and doing it that way?

Hilarious Joke · 23rd July 2008, 01:51 AM

I think that's got to be the best way of doing it Culhwch.

Maybe you should get 2 points and 1 point to vote for different pics?

I *think* Mods can edit the polls after they've been created to add more options. Sort of a cheat, but hey, if it works...

Nope - can't. Stuck at 10.

Hmmmmmmm.... may just have to do it in the thread then.

Culhwch · 23rd July 2008, 05:13 AM

Yeah, I tried to add more options as well but no dice.

The only issue I can see with a voting thread is if people aren't comfortable with their vote being public...

Hilarious Joke · 23rd July 2008, 05:20 AM

I guess PM's might be an option?

Culhwch · 23rd July 2008, 05:43 AM

That's what I was thinking. I don't have an issue with it being public, but if anyone else does...?

Highlander II · 23rd July 2008, 03:58 PM

aren't there websites where you can make polls?

Or - we could use someone's LJ / IJ (as long as it's a paid acct)... you can put as many there as you'd like.

Lady of Winterfell · 23rd July 2008, 05:39 PM

I do believe there are websites that you can create free polls, not sure though. I will see if I can look into finding one.

Do you think the voting would have to be in a separate thread? We could just keep it in the July Photo Challenge thread. PMing would also be an option, perhaps to the person that started that months theme.

I'm hoping to get my pictures up sometime today. We finally got a working computer, YAY!, so I can now upload my pics to it.

Lady of Winterfell · 23rd July 2008, 06:00 PM

Well I found a website called polldaddy.com. I went ahead and joined so I could see what their polls are like. Here is my test poll if you want to take a look.

http://www.polldaddy.com/p/809263/

They will let you have as many answers as you want, there is no limit. It also doesn't allow someone to vote twice. You can also state a date that the poll can be closed. Let me know what you all think. If you like it, I can post the new voting each month.

Culhwch · 24th July 2008, 12:38 AM

Well, I voted 'Yes', Lady... Looks good to me. I'll leave it in your capable hands, then!

One thing - is it private? In that you'd only be able to get to it from a link posted in the Challenge thread?
