Suggestion for the voting system - shortlist by the editorial staff then for each round they can randomly select 20-30 members to be the voters for that round with the proviso that every picture in the shortlist is considered and voted on, if they have made the shortlist surely they would deserve at least a 1 from the judge. Just an idea
As to some of the issues surrounding the home page and the need to regularly update it... I agree. And things are getting lost on the home page too regularly. Unfortunately, we are EXTREMELY short handed at the moment. Mike's moved on to new things and until recently I thought HTML was an embarrassing infection you got from not washing your hands properly.
So, for the moment bear with us. Well, me. Mike will still be posting up the end of his epic tome on Photoshop at one remove for a while, but the rest of it will be put together on a wing and a prayer. And I'm all out of wings.
Oh, you'll find him popping up as a website editor of a few professional photography titles, the ones that appear on a monthly basis and maybe the ones that end up with you asking which digital camera you would buy... that kind of stuff.
