October '08 Photo Contest

[hallenhe]

I'm not figuring out how to vote, either - I can click the "vote now" button, and go immediately to a screen that says "Thank you your vote has been entered" (but I haven't been able to choose a picture), or I can look at the pictures but not vote. Maybe junior members don't have voting privileges?

 

[Brad]

Because of previous abuse, new members are not allowed to vote. Please try again later in the month before the contest ends. I know this must be frustrating for some and I apologize.

I actually found it very easy to decide on a photo this time, one stood out to me as being the best immediately. I prefer this as lately I've been suffering from indecision on recent contests!!

 

[mrvoodoo]

bah still can't vote.

Chamgirl - I too have a favorite in all of these that I couldn't help but vote for - just can't yet Darn Junior Member status

 

[Brad]

Today is the last day to vote in the October contest.
