How does the Photo Contest/Challenge work?

I have been following Ugly Hedgehog for about a year and have truly enjoyed the discussions and Photo Gallery. I often look at the Photo Contest/Challenges but wonder just how they work. When it says "rerun" does it mean the "challenge" is now current? Do the dates correspond to when it is/was rerun? Thanks so much and looking forward to learning more about this aspect of Ugly Hedgehog.

This is the Challenge section:

Where are you finding the "rerun" label? The dates in a topic title are when the majority post to a particular thread, but there are often latecomers

Good morning,

The section between the one titled "Main Photography Discussion" and "Photo Gallery" is called "Photo Contests, Challenges, Periodicals". Right before each Challenge, in parentheses, are the words "a rerun".

No, I do not see "rerun" on that page. Here is an example of the page I get notice of all the time.

OK, I get it now. It means that topic was already in the digest one or more times previously because it's ongoing for participation.

If you are interested in entering or viewing the challenges, simply go directly to that section of UHH (the link I provided). Click "watch" at the top of first page of any threads you are interesting in tracking, then the next time you log in, go to top of any UHH page and click the "watched topics" list. That helps keep track of where you were last time you viewed a topic.

The emailed daily digest is just a sampling of what was posted to UHH the previous day. It does not contain sections to which you're not subscribed. To see a list of all UHH sections, and to subscribe to ones of interest, go to "all sections" at the bottom of this page.

It was kind of fun to puzzle that out given I've never heard of "rerun" I am not subscribed to the Challenges section, nor do I use the daily digest. I had to subscribe to Challenges to find the same view you were getting with your link.

Yes, this "technology" thing is sure a head scratcher sometimes. But, with your sleuthing we figured it out!

Thanks again,

Scott

Yes, I saw that once I subscribed to the section and viewed the digest. Explanation has been provided; hopefully you scrolled further down the thread to see up-to-the-minute news

I wasn't nagging, I was replying to Jack47 When you read a comment that has included the quote from another user, as I did when replying to Jack, if the reply is to you, your name will show up in bold. That makes it little easier to follow.

Another handy tip today, free of charge 😀

Thanks... My daughters would really smile at this whole exchange. They find my attempts at this sort of thing quite amusing.
