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

@Lee-White starting at the bottom and scrolling up mitigates the problem.

@art-of-b I tried that, it's the same issue. the images keep disappearing and reloading infinitely and I lose where I was and can't compare the images this way. I wish there was a way to have them all on 1 webpage as thumbnails

@heidigfx I thought that was just me! Chip’s slide show is best for viewing and deciding your picks, but it’s tricky locating them here to place your votes

Lee White · 11 Sept 2018, 21:09

i agree. Sorry it's like that. I would change them if i could. You can check out chip's slideshow maybe to view them and pick?

I just made this link if you want them as a download: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5wvx71n89gff9je/music entries.zip?dl=0

Here's the link to @Chip-Valecek's awesome slideshow of all the images, It's a little easier to scroll through: http://cshellmedia.com/clients/svs/

@lee-white I just downloaded the dropbox files and don’t see @mrsdion (Christine Dion) entry. I couldn’t find it here, but thought I might be missing it because of the way images reload.

Christine Dion · 12 Sept 2018, 01:19

@bichonbistro Ok, so I’m not the only one who can’t find mine. I’ve scrolled through twice.

Christine Dion · 12 Sept 2018, 01:26

@Lee-White My image is in the slide show but is not included in the voting.

Miriam · 12 Sept 2018, 02:21

@lee-white , I think there is a way to control the way the images load.

Click on your profile icon at the upper right of the page.
Click "Settings" on the drop-down list that appears.
Scroll down to the box labeled "Pagination".
Go to the option for: "Paginate topics and posts instead of using infinite scroll".
I think the automatic setting is for the box to be checked. (It looks like it's supposed to help pages load faster, by not loading all the images at the same time.)
Try un-checking the box and see if it fixes the problem for you.

I hope that helps!

Also, you don't need a rule against up-voting twice, since if you click it a second time it removes your up-vote. You can tell by watching the number next to the arrow.

@bichonbistro Maybe try using Ctrl+F (or Command+F) to search the page for the person's profile name?

BichonBistro · 12 Sept 2018, 02:37

@miriam profile names are not included with entries in this post

BichonBistro · 12 Sept 2018, 02:40

@miriam great tip & instructions! I just changed my settings and posts are much easier to read now, thanks!

Miriam · 12 Sept 2018, 02:42

@bichonbistro Oh, right! I was thinking of the regular contest posts.

BichonBistro · 12 Sept 2018, 02:44

@mrsdion your entry is definitely not here

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.

HeidiGFX · 12 Sept 2018, 05:23

@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.

LauraA · 12 Sept 2018, 07:17

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
