Guys with the new gallery you can now rate pictures, and I would like to start running a 3 month 'competition' where the prize will be your picture featured on a dedicated page on the main site maltafishingforum.com
We will create a Top Rated Gallery page on the site and every three months we will feature the top 3 rated pictures along with a small writeup about the angler/s responsible for the picture (ideally the ones who caught it), and if he/she wishes a small write up about how it was caught.
Now's your chance to get featured online! Get voting, we'll run the first feature in Jan '09 to give voting a chance :)
I am pleased to report that last month the forum attracted over 10,000 visits or 1 milllion 853 thousand hits.
RULES:
1) Catch must be done by a forum member
2) Even if the pictures remain the top rated after the 3 months that was shown we will move to the next top three
3) Ratings summary is calculated automatically by the forum gallery software
thats rly great skip :)
i rly would like to thank you for all your efforts and time you invest for this forum!!
Good idea skip.Looking foward to catch my first whale!! ;D
good one skip. wait for MINE.....................
Guys remember this is total number of votes for your picture. So it's very much based on how many people give it a high 5 star rating.
skip you can rate your own picture i think. we can vote for all the photos in gallery or vote for photos that were submitted in a given period of time?
I believe you can rate any picture, including one you uploaded yourself. Let me check.........
Nope you can't! You cannot rate your own picture. It won't even let me and I have Administrator rights!!!!!
And you should be able to vote on any picture in the gallery.
ok. it wouldnt be fair if you could rate your own pictures
That is a very good idea Skip. Helps encourage more pictures as well. I suggest we start showing photos of fish being released back as well.
At this point, I would like to give a special thanks and I'm sure most of you agree, to a special member who has been contributing pictures for a long time. Pictures that we all find very informative and a good reference. A big thanks to Arti2 for his contribution to the forum.
A suggestion I have is to start a section in the gallery dedicated to poisonous and dangerous fish that we may encounter while fishing. I know there are a few locally. I personally would find it very educational and informative.
Ejja emic dak il pic ta dik is sajda gej jew :P
Well done and thanks again to Arti2 for being so fast to start the hazardous fish topic.
Good idea, new gallery section added
