Do you know how it is with MAC, is that also delivered without Safari?

Like you said, we are doing these competitions for us so if you're not willing to contribute some of your time for that you simply shouldn't enter.

So clearly IE needs to do something about their browser to except some web standards.
It's sad that IE as a majority of users, since web-designers keep in mind the limitations of IE or else the site might not work correctly for 80 or so percent of the web-users.
Without IE all the sites on the net might work twice as effective and have half the codes.

I'd hate my camera to end up as muddy as in that advert, grime like that is hard to get rid of and when it dries the dust ends up going everywhere.

They at least thought about us with the fortynight rules though.
7. The latest winner will select the next theme taking into consideration its practicality for all potential entrants (eg. don’t select ‘Winter’ when it’s summer down under), and will initiate the new competition as soon as possible after the previous results have been posted.

Each competition is started in a new thread and entries are posted in the thread. The competitions end at Midnight (UK time) on Sunday. The winner sets the new competition in a new thread as soon as possible and then judges the results after the closing time.

just read it as a sign to use another browser
IE for example past March this year for the acid2 test where many others already pasted it in 2005.
The new Acid3 test, test the newer Web 2.0 Standards.
IE8 has a score of 20/100
safari 4.0 pasted it
opera 10 also pasted it.
Chrome 3 is missing pixel-perfect rendering except that they would past.
FF 3.5.3 is now at 93/100
So clearly IE needs to do something about their browser to except some web standards.
Here is the test link

FWIW I'd vote for a change in the closing time too. 10pm London time is more practical for most of the people who have had the honour since I've been a member. Note not GMT - very partisan but we play with time like everybody else and we all work with the time our watch/PC tells us.....
It's not the time a judge should start with judging, I believe many have done it on a Monday during the midday.
As long as we have a winner a Monday night so that he/she would have enough time to prepare his competition, I wouldn't mind waiting a bit longer for the judge to comment on every photo.

I am not sure that the 'ghosts' add anything to the shots. In fact, I think it could be argued that they detract from images which are already loaded with significance.
With in the project I believe they are good though but not as a standalone photo.
ps. sorry for ignoring your last post Alun.
Can some forum members maybe post some long exposure photos, I've never seen one here on this forum.

I think our Dutch contingent are ganging up on us
Like a bug in the rug...?
Gemütlichkeit seems to be the word strangely enough, you English know that's German right?
Maybe George can help?
Ah well.
To keep it gezellig, everyone should pay their part.
Nothing is for free in this world and if someone are trying to get a free ride by willingly neglecting some of the duties suspected by the winner (judging their competition), then it stop being gezellig for everyone and non would be willing to contribute since no one wants to put their time in it and getting nothing for in return.
David now has the important job to show how it should be done so that the standards and values of the Weekly competition don't go down in a negative spiral.
Simply keep it gezellig since I always found it that here, we are all proud members of this forum right(?) so lets act like one.
