Hi members,

I feel like a lazy bum for posting this but wanted members to be aware of the change. This month it took me over 4 hours to look at all the threads and posts to choose the image of the month. That's half a day's work...As more members join and post images, the time it takes to look at all the posts will increase. It's for this reason that it usually takes me a full week or more to post my choice.

Sooooo starting next month, I (or a guest) will choose their favourite image from only one forum, the Member's monthly choice forum (http://www.photography.ca/Forums/f27/). This makes sense to me as these are the 'better' images on the forum anyway (because they are nominated by other members) so the chance is high that I would have chosen the image from there. It's already happened this way quite a few times. Plus, I think it would be fun to get a guest to choose the image once in a while and I could never ask a guest to sift through hundreds and hundreds of posts.

So I hope everyone is okay with this. On the plus side, I'll be able to post my choice within a day or two of any new month.

....as always feel free to comment please.

Thanks everyone - Marko

Is it then worth considering changing the member vote to a selection of 5 from the assignment? Just a thought. That might allow for different images to "Win". Maybe a fantastic image from the assignment might still be Admin and Members choice "Winner".

I guess I'm a little slow. I thought that's what was going on anyway so I'm quite happy to continue ;) I'm sorry to hear it took you 4 hours! Wow! Dedication or what? Thanks. :clap::clap:

LOL, that's what I thought too!

Marko, whatever makes it easier for you to continue this forum, I am 100% behind! :goodvibes

I'm with Bambi and Iggy on this one, I just assumed that's how it was done.....much less work for you, and it helps get everyone involved too :)
