April Countdown Thread Welcome to the April Countdown Thread. We all waited a long time for spring and I hope that you have been able to get out and do some photography. Please join us and share one or two of your favorite photos from last month. There are so many fabulous photo posted on BP. So many very inspiring works of time and talent. I like this thread because its purpose is for each of us to show case your individual photo that you believe is your best or that you feel is most representative of your inner self. So... let's see your personal best! *If you are a regular here you know what to do. **If you are new to this thread, take some time to read our helpful hints below and join in the fun. *** If you found yourself here because you are lost.... Hmmm.., Don't worry, this is not the Hotel California, you can escape! Some helpful hints for attaching photos into a BP Forum Thread, if you're unfamiliar with the process: 1) Sign into BP. IF YOU HAVEN'T entered the Contest for today, you can use the "Photo ID" method to pull an existing image (from your Member Center) into your reply here. a. Jot down the PhotoID # of the photo you wish to share. To determine your PhotoID, go to the little Pancakes icon, then click “My Photos”, then “Manage/Enter.” The PhotoID is right below the number. b. Go to the Countdown Contest thread. Click “Respond” at the bottom of the page. c. Type in whatever you wish; e.g., “Here’s my Fav image for the month.” d. Click the “Select” button below the text input box, and select “1.” Toggle on “Notify” box if you wish to be notified. Click “Submit.” e. The Image Uploader appears. On the right-hand side, you’ll see an input box for the PhotoID (from step 1a). Type it in then click “submit your photo.” Then, return to the forum thread and you’ll see your photo. 2) IF YOU HAVE ALREADY entered the Contest for today, you can't use the Photo ID method *today*. Either wait until tomorrow to reply here first, or upload a copy of the image (from your PC) and attach to this thread. This produces a duplicate image in your Member Center; however, you don't have to make that duplicate visible in your Gallery. 3) If you're uploading a duplicate, I suggest titling it "For Forum" so it stands out in your Member Center, for easier housecleaning later on. This can also help nudge BP viewers to go find the original image in your gallery, if they want to leave a comment. Likewise, if you want to add a comment to a photo seen here, first try to tell if it is a duplicate upload. As a courtesy, try to find the original image in the member's gallery and leave your comment there instead of on the duplicate... which may one day be deleted. Errick

Two favorites from my Venice trip (still working through those images!) A "model shot" (the point of the trip) and a glass shot from Murano (home of my all-time favorite glassblower)... it managed a POTD, and I'm hoping for a hat trick on it! ;)

Both of my favorites chosen for this thread ended up as May contest entries for the 21st - the day I uploaded them to the thread. And I had also resubmitted an image to the contest earlier that day. So now I have three entries for May 21st. It may be coincidence, but I'd love to know whether anyone else has noticed his or her entry in this thread showing up as a current contest entry.

Nikki and Dayna, when you put the photo ID in you have to scroll down just a little further and go to the contest entries drop down list. Then choose "Do not enter". I think that should help......I was having the same problem and I realized I was not choosing to not enter it into the contest and when I did it helped the problem. if that doesn't work I have no more help for you! :) Rosina

Thanks, Rosina. I'll look for that option the next time I do this - I've been putting links to images into the Favorites thread for years and have never before had this problem. I have never noticed the "do not enter" box, but I will sure pay more attention next time. Must admit I'm glad to have company, though, Dayna :)

Rosina, Dayna, and Nikki... I'm planning to put one more favorite on this thread before it's all said and done, and you can bet I will be paying attention to the options as I post. I have to admit though that actually remembering to post will be the toughest part of the whole process...LOL! ;o)

There were some fun surprises for me in the Staff Favorites this month! I am also wondering if it takes awhile for the badges to show on this thread? I'm delighted that "Butterfly Freedom" and "Crow's Feet" got the nod.

I think Staff Favorites never show on the thread. Just EP's, Finalists, and Winners. Probably has to do with the fact that the latter existed long before SF's and programming to have them display certain places was done long ago. When SF's were instituted, it was either impossible or impractical to go back and get their display programmed the same as the other badges.
