Confusion is normal.... Just expect the normal quantity of feet, egrets and general non qualifying photos.
Lovely photos @Katherine you are painting Manchester in a light I don't tend to think of! It's a city I don't think I've been to!

For the benefit of innocent bystanders...I am totally confused as to what is happening
- SatNav wondered if it might be worth having two threads, so that folks interested in mainly the images didn't have to search through pages of waffle to find them
- SatNav suggested this idea, and one or two others thought it might work, so she copied over the photos from the last competition into a new thread, intending just to try out the idea
- lots of other people then noticed the change and
- so now we are back as we were (with the possibility of a 2nd thread that just summarises the competitions and their winners but that only the elves (me, summerdays, SatNav) need to post in by copying posts over

Sorry potsy, haven't got five hours to spare - but if you want one of your winning entries* copied over for posterity, then point me at the relevant post.Actually if you or @summerdays has got a spare 5 hours how about going back to the start of the year and finding all the winning entries?
*have you ever won?

Edit: before any judge (no idea who is judging this round) wastes any time considering the above, please refer to the last sentence of my following post...

Or the 'other' thread could have all (serious) entries copied into it by the elves - probably easier than having an album as well as a separate thread ?? Assuming the elves can work out which ones are the serious entries, and not cheating like some people I could mention, who may have entered the same image in a previous round of 'reflections'...
The issue is that the judge should really make that call on what qualifies shouldn't they?

fair enough - it was just a thought following on from someone else's suggestion

we appear to be going over old ground again.
Why not put it to the vote at the end of this round?
lock this thread temporarily with a link to a poll and leave it running for XX days.
with chit chat
without chit chat
keep the poll with open votes so we can all see who votes for what, no malice involved, we'll all know who wants what. We'll also be able to see 'phantom' votes from people who never contribute. Whatever the outcome, we all stand by it.

I don't think locking this thread will go down too well.
Several people have made suggestions. SatNav thought enough people had agreed the separate thread was worth trying to set up a trial version of the separate photo thread. That proved to be unpopular...
I've made suggestions, as have one or two other people. I (or SatNav or summerdays) am not going to do anything else with this thread unless we are asked to - my posts above were just suggestions,not things I intended to implement.
If you want to have a poll, please go ahead. You can link to it from your own posts on here.

but it's you(in response to people suggesting) and others suggesting changes
there's been more useless chit chat over this than there was before it was mentioned. This thread just happily chugged along, no arguing just light hearted banter from everyone, then it got messed with. I thought this got sorted yesterday, today it s just the same starting over.
I've spoke up, I'm no longer bothering, If it gets locked deleted or stays as is, someone else can take the issue over. There's lots of other people who contribute who are more than capable of voicing an opinion. I'm done with the matter

For what its worth thanks @SatNavSaysStraightOn for taking the time to set up the trial yesterday , i can see your concerns about 'waffle wading" even as one of the offending waffling parties.
I do enjoy the waffle and i can"t tell you how many times i have picked up the phone and logged on inbetween strife to be found by my collegues giggling manically at one of the posts. So much so i am considering writing to the NHS to suggest it as therapy.
What about keeping the lighthearted thread title so people know its not a serious photo challenge?

Let all just post some pictures, chat some nonsense, leave the thread as is until next week when I will announce the winner. In other news it looks like the sun is coming out, I have the afternoon off and will be taking my lovely mum for lunch and then possibly get drunk with my cycling buddies and post lots of cider fueled pictures as usual.
