Vote for let's play 9-1-2018

[Ben Egbert]

vote for this weeks winner of the lets play contest. Thanks to John for generously donating an image. It was a change of pace with a street photography image rather than landscape, and the turnout was lower than usual. But it was good to break the ice.

Threads getting moved around to different sub-forums probably didn't help. For myself, I was subscribed to the forum so I'd get email alerts on all new threads. It wasn't until I logged in and poked around that I found "Let's Play" now had its own dedicated area and had to go set my alerts on it.

Since most of the activity on FW is around the image sharing area it might be worthwhile to post an announcement (can this software do that? I know vBulletin can) in the forum corresponding to the current image type in the challenge i.e. Landscape forum for landcape images, Street Photography for images like this one, etc. For me, I didn't realize this "Let's Play" challenge existed for a long time since I visit almost nothing outside the Landscape section.

Hey John,

Make sure your opening page to FocalWorld is the Home Page. There is a Notes and Quotes side bar on the right side of the screen, that is updated almost daily. Every Let's Play and every contest is announced there along with other news. So there are announcements that way.

Also, be sure to use the "New Posts" button as the Let's Play thread gets lot's of action there and so it could be seen.

I hope that helps.
