There were 57 entries in the comedy- tragedy photo contest and only 40 people voted.

Could it be subject matter ?

Could it be to specific rather than open ended ?

Any restrictions/requirements that could put folks off ?

Was the vote easy to do ? We have a great amount of seniors here that need simple instructions and ways to do stuff.

Just a thought

Voting was not a problem, just wish there was a "tiled" view with more on one page instead of the one row scrolling across the screen. When there are a lot of entries it makes it more difficult to go back through the entries to find what you want to vote for. But then I am sure that is a function of the web-site and not something that YOU can control.

For me it was just that the one day for voting I was so busy I didn't even get on my computer and missed it! Perhaps the voting time could be extended into the start of the next theme?

This kind of comment reinforces my opinion that the contests are just too low-profile. I always forget that there are contests at all, unless I happen across them in one of the forums. And I also think it would help to stretch out the time periods a bit, like maybe 2 weeks for entry, 1 week for voting, for example. I'm sure a lot of folks (like me) do not get to this site every day.

Also, I agree with mullumby, I thought most of the comedy-tragedy entries did not qualify, therefore didn't vote...

But you could have voted for one that did.

How about a daily contest section on the forum, that way you would never miss it.

Surely would have, if only I'd made a point to go back there on the voting day :)

You're right it is hard to remember that one day for voting.....and I have nothing else to do....lol...I think we should keep the contest weekly....make the voting 2 days and maybe have a reminder on the home page.

This is it! Too low profile. I don't forget, I can't find it again.
It just needs its own space on the forum. Who makes that call?
And it should have its own rules.

It is fun. And I do look and I went to vote but it was closed. 24 hours and closed? I read the topic on poling for dates but my memory.....yep this is it........my memory isn't that good.

LOL. It's past my bedtime. Night all.

Hey Sarge, It is troubling to have you decide that "a great amount of seniors need simple instructions..." That may be true but it isn't just the old crocks who need help.
