"Yesterday when the 'doors' contest still had some time to run the ‘enter the contest’ link disappeared and did not allow me to put a photograph into the contest. I am not too worried about it being there, but maybe the system needs to be checked to ensure that the link remains there."
" ... my initial thoughts were that the link ('enter the contest') was not showing up for you ... due to the fact that your image/photo might have been in the approval queue and had not yet been approved.
Referencing the time frame/window that you were logged on after posting/uploading, or even afterwards and had checked back at some point.
Not that of the time left to enter the contest, to be clear.
Seems to me that this is a bug of sorts. To my mind, as long as an image has been posted/uploaded while there was time left to do so for a contest ... that said image is still eligible for submission.
It just might necessitate the member coming back after posting/uploading ... then, once it has in fact been approved ... submitting it at this later point in time."
"There is always something waiting at the end of the road ... if you're not willing to see what it is ... you probably shouldn't be out there in the first place."

Original discussion thread found under the "Contests" forums ... "Where did the link go?".
