Minor Change to Photo Competition System

Postby Son of a Beach » Tue 27 Oct, 2009 2:32 pm

There has been a minor change to the photo competition system. Please let me know as soon as possible if you find any problems with the system.

The front page for the system used to automatically redirect you to one of the monthly competitions for the current month, depending on the URL you were using. If you were using tasmania.bushwalk.com, it would redirect you to the current monthly Tasmania competition, and if you were using bushwalkaustralia.com, it would would redirect you to the current monthly Australia competition. The other current competition(s) were available by clicking links in the navigation bar at the top. This was causing some occasional confusion with people accidentally posting photos to the wrong competition.

Now the front page simply lists links to all of the currently open competitions so that users must explicitly choose which competition they wish to enter by clicking the appropriate link. I'm sorry for the extra click this will mean for many of you, but I think it's fairly simple and straightforward. It should eliminate the problem, in any case.

The list of current competitions has also been removed from the navigation bar at the top so that it is not displayed in two places. You can still click on any of the current competition links to either enter a photo or to view/replace your current entry for the selected competition.

Note that most of the time, the list will only show the two current monthly competitions. But it will automatically be augmented with any other ad-hoc photo competitions that may be open from time to time. In particular, the photo-of-the-year competitions will appear in this list early each year.
