I'm almost done setting up a system that should help with contests.

You can read the description here:

I set up a sample contest here:

Please feel free to test the functionality, and let me know if something isn't working right.

I like what I'm seeing, however I'm having a problem with the horizontal scroll bar for the thumbnails.

While it works OK on my desktop machine using Safari (5.1.1), the horizontal scroll does not work on my iPad (which I use for forums most of the time).

Images added to the contest continue to be appended to the end of the row, and the page expands to compensate. Eventually, the page will become unreadable. (See the attached screen-shot)

Could you instead, arrange the thumbnails in a grid of about six images wide, and append additional thumbnails in additional rows beneath? This way you could just scroll the page vertically with no need for an additional scroll bar.

I think this method would work better for all browser types, desktop and mobile.

Thanks,
-Dean

Hmm, it won't have the same filmstrip feeling to it, but I'll see about changing it to use rows.

If that's the only downside perhaps you can use another browser? I tried Safari before and (at least on my pc) it wasn't a great browser. Perhaps I just had a version that was clunky; probably 6 or 7 years ago.

Works for me. I like it and think it will be much easier for Contest Host/Moderator. Also helpful to see all the pix without the comments in between. I am using Safari with OSX Lion.

why don't you do a contest like Capture Wisconsin. you can submit as many photos as you want and people can vote on any of the photos the photo that has the most vote wins. Check out capture wisconsin web site.

Or, could you set it up with an arrow on each side of the line where those of us with iPads could just click the arrow to go to the next picture? Thanks!
