    I see no images in the Polls (here or for the MC14! Is this something new? Makes it much harder to vote. And easier to get it wrong.

    :(

    And the link at the top f the poll is not even a clickable link?

    Retrograde!

    Don, what I did was just open the gallery in a separate tab/window and referred to them that way. thumb.gif

    While I don't disagree with you that it's easier with the thumbnails right there in-thread, I think we also have to remember that Sean is a volunteer, giving up his personal time to man the challenges, and inserting the thumbnails is kind of a pita and time-consuming to do. I'm sure if he didn't do it the way he usually does he had a reason - even if it was only lack of time.

    That is the main reason I posted. To find out if it was a mistake, or because of time or was I even the only not seeing then do to some technical glitch.

    The un-clickable link is a come but fixable problem.

    I'll vote when I find the extra time to do it this way! :D

    Indeed Diva is correct in this case it was a time thing. It does take about 3x longer to add the photos. Rather than wait until tomorrow to post the poll vs. getting it up right away I opted to give the traditional poll with a link a try.

    I do agree it is less convenient and plan on continuing with the photos in the future. I will try and update the current polls with the photos by tomorrow.

    Sean, thank you! What additionally perturbed me, was that you usually explain such things with posts as you go, and here we we left with something new (but could have been in error) and not one of your usual explanations! Also, usually someone else jumps in a lot quicker than this time, one way or the other. Since you usually just post when you can, some Polls have been quite late, I just didn't know what was what...

    I fully understand the volunteer nature of your situation, not the, to me, abnormal situation.
