(:( I removed my "Pacific Grove Waves" contest entry 6 hours before the deadline and went to replace it with a revised version of the same image but when I tried to upload the new version it wouldn't do it. So I had the one version entered in the contest for a week or so and then after I took it out to replace it I now have nothing in the contest. Anyway, sure would be nice if I could re-submit it being as it was already in the contest for consideration.Is that possible?

Respond
ok

Can anyone help Bruce on this and then reply to him?

The only thing I can think of is that the contest was actually closed when the member tried to enter the revised image. this has happened before to another member due to confusion over time zones I believe. Though I can't do anything about the current issue I xan advise that you don't need to remove an entry from a contest manually; you just need to enter the revised image and it will automatically replace the former entry.

There really shouldn't be any time-based problems due to the way the times are displayed. I think it is likely that he was just having trouble getting the image uploaded and therefore couldn't choose it for the contest. Let's see what Flmngseabass says.

Now this is more like it!! You have proven yourself invaluable!! Thank you so much for addressing this and now I know what I can and cannot do in the future. Your help addressing this is commendable. Thanks Nathan, Samatar and Caedes:)

Now that it's morning and I have slept on it, give me just one valid reason why my post cannot still be considered in the contest?? I had it in there for a week before I inadvertently removed it. Either way I will be satisfied just not happy.:):)

Regrettably, you'll have to miss that contest since the voting is 2/3rds of the way finished.

Okay
