Is there a link(s) to all the past challenges for folks to go review what has been done.....how (the differences between the original challenges, LPS and DSS...)..also the very good very vital information that was shared on those challenges?????

There is a lot to be learned from those past postings it would be a shame for them to go into the netherworld to never be available again for inspiration.

    There's the Challenges Galleries http://dgrin.smugmug.com/Dgrin%20Challenges. The most recent ones have all the feedback in the galleries, which is pretty cool....

    The sticky for DSS lists all the entry threads.

    Check the thumbs in the Dgrin header. One gallery for Photo of the Year, One for DSS Winners and old challenge winners, and one for LPS galleries. They aren't just for pretty - they are links.

    Never knew that.......nor would a newbie to the forum......I just thought it was a gallery of like the top ten to various challenges and of course the ads for the various major shoot outs and Marcs workshops.......

    I do not do a glide over over photo in a header or on a page to find hidden messages and I bet very few if any visitors would either:D

    I would have thought a very top level sticky in the forum would be appropriate.

    I found out about those by clicking them...

    (and I do hovering for clues too :D )

    All past DSS Challenges are listed in the "All Things Official" Sticky. This is so we don't have 7 stickies, as there is a BUNCH of important info in there. It's everyone's duty to poke around, ask questions and do searches. Claiming ignorance is no excuse. There are plenty of people around here that are happy to help. thumb.gif

    Also, there's a link to "Gallery" in the regular toolbar, right between "Tutorials" and "Books." That will take you to a page with a "DGrin Challenges" link, which goes to the galleries that are linked in the thumbnail header. So, there's nothing hidden. thumb.gif

    Good point, Kerry, but the challenges had to be put elsewhere due to their design.

    headscratch.gif They're there: clicking on "Gallery" then "Dgrin Challenges" reveals the DSS and old LPS galleries. Anywho, just trying to say there are links in plain text, too, in the Dgrin navbar—in addition to the thumbnail links and handy sticky at the top of this very forum. Covered in triplicate. Not sure how the mods could do any better. thumb.gif

    Sorry, you are so right. I was just one click away from a reality check. umph.gif It's been a long day (can I use that excuse at 5pm?). lol3.gif

    I've never clicked that link before, i've always used the header image links rolleyes1.gif

    anyway, because of this thread I checked it out but I'm not seeing a "Dgrin Challenges" thumbnail there. I see only "Dgrin Events", "Dgrinners", "Dgring Photo of the Year". headscratch.gif

    Edit: On another look I saw the Dgrin Challenges link in the menu on that page. I was looking for a category not a menu item

    Yeah, it takes a moment to see it. When I first went looking for them, I, too, looked at the category thumbnails before noticing it in the menu links. I think we photographers are just naturally more inclined to look at the pictures before cluing in to the text sometimes. :giggle
