Hey everyone,

I know there are other areas being worked on in DA right now but challenges are kinda special to me and I am hoping that this area can be fine tuned in the future as well..

so,

I just wanted to ask others how they feel about the challenge area and hopefully get some ideas for Eric in the future.

While speed is a good thing, I feel too much is not.  I was wondering if maybe the challenges might be better based on time rather than an amount of votes or piccies.  Like if they are open for a week for upload and then a week for votes..I think a month is too long but thought there could be a better solution.

Or does everyone like how unbelievably fast some of the challenges go up for vote and then win?

Also , (sorry I fogot who) but someone mentioned be able to view all entries , I am guessing for comparison sake and to sample the whole..

I do like the gaurantee that everyone will get the same amount of votes though so instead of having the challenge open for a week of voting , it could still be for a number of votes but I feel that  perhaps more should get to vote on the challenge entries than 20..

other issues? thoughts? ideas? opinions?..

Just curious..

I'm sorry, we've breifly talked about this so I'll leave it at that, but just a question. I don't know is there any kind of award page or anything for challenge winners or can you only see the rankings when you go back to a challenge after it is over.

Even then they keep getting bumped down and eventually disappear. so is that how it really works or is it just my limited computer skills again? If it's not just me, that is something I would like to see. Like a winning stats page or something to that effect.

I do know that you like how quick they are but unless you can be home all day or have enough pics in stock to enter for all the individual contests then it is pretty hard for everyone to have a fair shot at competing.

I am not in favor dragging the contests out by any means and some of the subjects seem to take forever to get enough images which is why I suggested a time limit.

I kinda would also like to get more feedback by having more than 20 votes on the images.
The way it is now, it just seems like one has to constantly monitor the challenge action to be able to get to vote and sometimes upload an image to compete.
Just a little more balance, I feel , is necessary...

and yes we did talk briefly but I felt that a separate thread and more opinions would be a good thing..
The challenges are still under construction as far as I know...for when I asked DA to host challenges, Eric was a bit busy with DAV3 so, I thought I might just take this time since we have gotten to see how the challenge version works for awhile, to find out how the membership feels about the challenges as they are..

You make some great points. I do like the idea of a time limit for entries so maybe even more people could participate or if not many are entering....get it going!

But still is there a page for ranking images...I would love to see past ranked images!

Also I was wondering what you thought about voting on challenges you are entered in? I did on my very first one but then thought differently about it. I think there is to much influence that could be too easily negative towards other entries. Just something I've been thinking about.

I had never thought about it from this perspective, but you're right. If you've entered a photo, it would be very easy to vote poorly on the others.......enhancing your own chances.

LoL...No I didn't take it that way. But thats why I stopped so there was no chance of it even subconsciously.
