Hi Peter, Last week I wrote to Fotki mainly out of curiosity to find out how the scores are calculated. The correspondence follows, I don't see any problems with distribution if you see fit. My view on this whole debate, griping etc is as I wrote to TH102 Hi Tammy, I've just read your comments regarding my entry Prague at Dawn. Photography is subjective and results don't always agree with my opinions. As I saw it when I voted there were 5 images that could take out the top 5 places in any order.Only my opinion. I've recently wrote to Fotki re: the methodology behind the scoring system. I'm yet to receive a reply. All the very best and thank you for your support,
Hi Fotki, I would like to know how the scores for images are calculated. For example some contests use selecting the better from 2 images. The score is recorded decimal format eg 0.5641 Other contests ask the voter to record a score for an image and the final score is shown in decimal format eg 5.1491 Charles
Hello Charles, In "Compare 2 images" contests whenever you choose a particular picture, it receives 1 and other pictures gets 0. In "Vote 1 to 10" types of contests you set your vote and system calculates the score based on all votes received by a particular picture.
There are also some additional scores added based on a voter behavior to avoid cheating.
Please feel free to contact us with any further questions you may have.

Hi Peter, I've stumbled across your web site whilst doing some research. Currently Waratah Park is in danger of being lost to us forever and being redeveloped for housing. I currently am heading up the Save Waratah Park Earth Support Group and wondering if you would mind if I borrowed a couple of your wonderful photos. Please feel free to contact me at savewaratah@gmail.com. We do also have a petition going . http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/save-waratah-park-earth-sanctuary.html
Thanks Peter, I look forward to hearing from you Kind Regards Penny
Hi Peter I hope you weekend has been grand! Many thanks for dropping by and having a look to our Joey's wedding. Thank you for the lovely comments too. That new programme of mine is pertty good for new frames and even fixing up some flaws, you can make a person smile whiter, Who would think? Thanks for the information about the hay stooks. Have a wonderful week hugs;Kelly:)))
I just got a question from someone asking if I sell mugs with tombstone photos on them... Lol... I have the feature turned on for my photos and I don't know if you can be selective about which images are available but I never really thought much about it.
I suppose there is a certain cross-section of the population that really wants or "needs" a mug with a tombstone on it...
Hey Pete ! I did that ,I still get the same thing ,my cookies have expired ,that means it is coming from my computer doesn't it ? Thanks for the idea Bud !!!

No, cookies are just a way programmes keep track of you and they're not all that bad. If your cookies have expired perhaps your settings have changed for fotki only. Do you have your settings to accept all cookies? If not try that.
You haven't said whether you tried to comment with your security software disabled yet, that's worth a shot too.
I struggled by forgetting one name and felt so bad about that so I locked the album before I decided how to fix it. I made it easy for me and put one more picture there,,,,,,

Have you tried turning your security software off for a few minutes and trying to comment, to see if something has changed in your settings there?
No they pipped us for the Ashes and we slaughtered them in the one dayers so we move on. We're now playing in the One Day World Championship in South Africa.
