A welcome addition under the 'My Photos' tab. I see that a new item "My Previous Entries" has been added in the pancakes under 'My Photos' tab, which is a very welcome addition, IMHO. As I used to save all my contest entries for the month on the last day of that Month on my hard drive and would look back at these during the next month to ensure that I do not mistakenly submit an entry which I had already submitted in the previous month. However, when I compared my saved version (copied directly from BP on the last day showing under 'My Current Entries' tab) with the one under the new link 'My Previous Entries', I see the dates are not matching!! And worst of all, my last entry submitted on May 31, 2016 is actually been shown in the new link as submitted on June 1, 2016. Since it was a Monthly Theme entry for May, I really hope that it is not judged with the June contest entries in the June contest!! I am not sure if this particular issue is only with my monthly entries or with other fellow BPers too. Please chime if you see that there is some date discrepancy between the entries you saved and the one now showing under the 'My Previous Entries' tab. I also request BP to look into the matter and remove the anomaly and fix this software glitch. Thanking you in advance.

Usman, mine are off by a day too. Consistently. Nice feature, though as I do the same as you....but forgot to do it in May.

Mine are off by one day also. I've always wished they would give us a way to look back at what is being judged, along with the current month. This is good!

I guess they are all off a day. One other thing I also like about this feature is it gives me an easy way to see which entries were which now that I can't sort anything out in the gallery view.

Mine are off by a day, too, but when I click on the last entry (which says June 1), the info under the image says May 31, which is accurate. So it looks like the glitch is in the list, but not really associated with the image - maybe?

Thank you for pointing it out, Usman. I have a different inaccuracy. Although all my May submissions are in the “My Previous Entries”, the 3 images entered contest May 31 indicate the date June 1. Yes, 3 images. Hope it gets corrected ASAP.

Well the heading does say contest entries: previous month. I think the incorrect day display is just a minor glitch. Nice feature!

Did any of you get an EP on your May 31, 2016 entry which is shown as June 1, 2016 entry on the 'My Previous Entries' page? I believe the first run for EPs has been completed recently. UB.

Usman, I didn't upload a photo on May 31st, but I went to the Contest tab, then to the EP link, and there are EPs from the 31st on the page. Here's the link: http://www.betterphoto.com/gallery/dynoGall2.php?Favpt=EPs

My May 31st entry doesn't have an EP. Of course, that may be because they didn't like it .... :)

LOL, Peggy. I have a number of those this month - but I did get one on the 31st. And I have to say I'd pretty much have skipped the same ones they did . . .

Hi Nikki. Yeah, I knew mine was "iffy", but hey, no guts no glory, right?

I hope you knew I was referring to my own skips and on one else's?

Very happy to report that my May 31 entry now has an EP showing under it, which means that despite of the system date showing as June 1, 2016 it was included as part of the pool of images for the May contest. UB.

Don't forget that even though your June entries will (presumably) still show as "previous contest entries" after midnight tonight BP time, your May entries will (again presumably) be gone. You may still want to copy one or the other or both.

Thanks Usman, for your kind comments and your extremely helpfully detailed email. And thanks everyone for your constructive feedback - helped me find the bug and annihilate it! The problem was simply that the date being displayed on the My Previous Winners page was incorrect. All fixed now :) HAPPY FOURTH for those in the US. (And happy fourth for everyone around the world... still a great day!) Hope you can get out photographing!
