JUDGING FOR AUGUST CONTEST "MUSIC"! PICK YOUR FAV!

KathrynAdebayo · 12 Sept 2018, 03:55

I hope @Lee-White doesnt mind if I put @mrsdion 's image up. Please let me know and I can delete it if you'd like to be the one to repost. It just didn't seem right for it to be excluded from voting if it was easy enough to put up from the other thread.

@miriam they can upvote the same image by signing in using several accounts, you know. also having family and friends upvote their post....which wouldn't be fair.

As nutty as this sounds, the only way I can get a good idea of all the entries is to go to the slideshow and download every image into a folder on my computer. From there I can enlarge the images to whatever size I want, scroll through them quickly, select "finalists" into a subfolder and then compare those. It's a bit time consuming, and I haven't finished deciding yet, but it helps and it sure beats waiting for the page to load!

Turning on pagination helps too, but it still takes a while.

HeidiGFX · 12 Sept 2018, 07:30

@lauraa this is basically what I did!! except I saved my finalists directly to the folder

Lee White · 12 Sept 2018, 14:40

@kathrynadebayo @mrsdion So sorry! Pleae post it and i will move it up with the others! Sorry Christine!!!

Christine Dion · 12 Sept 2018, 15:42

@lee-white @KathrynAdebayo Thank you for posting my entry Kathryn. Lee it's just above this post. Seems to be a recurring problem with my work! My work was deleted when I took the Book Cover class too!

Lee White · 12 Sept 2018, 17:01

This post is deleted!

Lee White · 12 Sept 2018, 17:05

@mrsdion I tired to move it up in thread, but I'm having trouble doing it. They make these boards so clumsy!!

lmrush · 12 Sept 2018, 17:46

I don't see it here but my third vote is for the comic style strip in black and white of the martial arts ending with string practice, I am sorry I have forgotten the artist

Lee White · 13 Sept 2018, 14:49

Love seeing all these votes, let's keep 'em coming!

Jabbernewt · 13 Sept 2018, 22:22

Looks like my entry never made it in. Did I violate a rule or something?

burvantill · 14 Sept 2018, 04:30

@jabbernewt oh no!

Jabbernewt · 14 Sept 2018, 12:09

Well, I saw it in the slide show, but not in the feed here. Even tried the pagination technique

Lee White · 14 Sept 2018, 14:30

We have some winners to announce! These are the three. I'll write up a separate post on these over the weekend. Great job guys! It is really cool to see how this played out with the voting. I realize this forum isn't the greatest for it (weird image loading), but overall it got the job done. : )

Christine Dion · 14 Sept 2018, 15:23

@jabbernewt Mine too. Someone else ended up reposting it for me but it was no where near the other entries. Sorry it happened to you too.

KathrynAdebayo · 14 Sept 2018, 15:43

Perhaps @Jabbernewt and @mrsdion should earn a free month's subscription or some sort of other recognition for not having their entries equally available to be voted for? @Lee-White probably already has something in mind, but I have an annoyingly deep sense of justice that won't leave me alone unless I suggest something.

Jabbernewt · 14 Sept 2018, 16:12

sigh

SVS isn't to blame, I think. I doubt the creators of the forum software intended to have large-scale gallery-style voting threads, however, so if any blame can be placed it's simply on the incompatibility of the forum with the intended... well, forum-like function.

...I will admit, being in college would make receiving a free month of SVS great, but I wouldn't feel able to ask for such a thing, really. The forum functions independently of the classes for the most part, it seems, so it's okay.

Lee White · 14 Sept 2018, 18:08

@kathrynadebayo We were just discussing this here in the office. We are giving them both a free month due to the mishap. : )

i did like the idea of you guys voting, we we are looking into ways to do that again but have it work a little more smoothly.

TessaW · 14 Sept 2018, 18:36

@lee-white Perhaps a combo of the slideshow and a poll? Not sure how the poll functions work in the forum, or how many poll categories you can have here, but if we looked through the slide show, selected our top 3, and then voted on a dedicated poll that had the names of the artist who entered?

Chip Valecek · 14 Sept 2018, 19:26

Maybe I could add a number to each of the slides and then create a surveymonkey poll. Then people can vote on that poll based on the slide number. I could easily add the link to the slideshow so people would know where to go and vote. What do you think about trying that out for "Fall" @Lee-White ?
