I hate to be negative Jon, but some of us will have school at the time the contest opens if it's a weekday.
Agree :o It was luckily that it was a saturday for me B) Is it possible to have more entires than 20? Maybe 25?? makes it quite hard on me since I live all the way down under and also have school ;) Timers are great! Used it to tell me when to submit but still didn't get one in though :P Thanks

Some great shots this round.  It will be tough to choose.  

fssimulator:  nice catch there.  I didn't even notice the 10 spot missing.

ADSimpson:  I think you came up with a great idea about your splashscreens.  I think however, you should wait to post them when the contest is over, so as not to influence the voting.  Just a thought.

Again, nice shots everyone!

Why is it that my shot was not accepted?? Byron said my shot couldnt be accepted due to the text that was on there, my screenshot utility does that automatically, i cant help that. There is nothing in the rules that says the text can't be on the picture. It was only a small amount of text in the bottom left hand corner of the screen. It said the height of the plane and the location. Although it says no editing, i didn't edit my picture. I say again, my screenshot utility does that, i cant help it. Whats the go, Byron? Jon? Brad?

EDIT: I cant take the text off, because taking off a bit from the bottom will ruin the shot.

Hey Byron where is my shot???  :o If only the twenty first shots will be posted on the contest, there is no reason to the date limit (start on 1 on each month and finish at day 10)... because I give it to you on the first day AND MY SHOT WASN'T POSTED!!! B)  :P

To the mods: Since people can't grasp the concept of the contest starting on the first, maybe you'll have to put the countdown timer on the forum's home page so they can't say that they didn't see it or something.........

You guys are doing everything you can do to help these common sense deprived people know when the contest begins, Byron has done a pinned topic, Jon has put a countdown timer on his sig and Brad has helped in ways I'm sure. Keep up the good work guys, and don't let all this whining mess with you. :o

I'm not whining! My shot was in on time an wasnt accepted because of some text that was on it because my Screenshot Utility put it on there. Byron wouldnt accept it because of that. Now tell me where in the rules it says i cant have it on there? Its not an edit because i didn't put it on there.
Here is what i'm talking about, this isnt the shot i was entering:

Common Sense Deprived People?? My shot was in on time. At my place the competition started at 8:00pm, i sent my shot in at 8:06pm. All i wanna know is why my shot wasnt accepted when it didn't break any rules. Thats all, nothing less, nothing more.

well you all no that this screenshot competion thing is really popular and byron can only accept 20 submission so if he recieves 30 then he can only take ones that were giving to him first.

I don't see the "Greatness" in number 5, its just not amazing. It a bonanza at georender big deal. Number 6, and Number 20 deserve the votes.

Uhhh don't you think thats because the Screenshot Utility, or whatever u wanna call it, is different to yours. There's that many out there. Mine is called "Snapper". I use it because of the features it has, but i don't think i'll use it anymore because it seems to "Break the rules". Even though there is no rule that i have broken.....
