All pictures from the 16th of the previous month to the 15th of the current month will be eligible. To be entered in the competition you will need to receive to nominations from your fellow peers. After You receive 2 nominations you will then be eligeble for that months contest.


After the nominations are all in then there will be a poll in which everyone will be given the chance to vote. Voting will start when the poll goes online (usually the 16th) and will last for 7 days.


The contests available

Tank Of The Month (Large Aquaria) (31 US gallons, 25.8 UK Gallons, or 117L and larger tanks)
Tank Of The Month (Small Aquaria) (For Tanks under 30 US gallons, 24.5UK Gallons, or 113L)
Fish Of The Month
When you post pics of your tank you will have to post the size of the tank so that we can make sure that you are entered in the correct competition.

The Prizes

The winner of each coompetition will be awarded a banner trophy showing the month that they won. This banner trophy will be attached to thier signature so that everyone can see their award winning Fish or Tank.


Secondly the user who wins shall recieve an email address of their desire for any of the domains we own.

@fishforum.net
@fishforums.net
@fishforever.co.uk
@fishfever.co.uk

All email sent to for example: joebloggs@fishforum.net will get redirected to your email account such as joebloggs134234@hotmail.com or yahoo.com or whatever!! There is no configuring on your side and the best bit is almost all of the names are available so instead of having to have joebloggs1422@hotmail.com you could simply have joe@fishfever.co.uk !

So get snapping and good luck in the competition!




Picture Resizing


As a way to help keep down the cost of bandwidth and from having huge pictures, There is going to be a 100kb per picture limit.
You can easily find out the size of the photo on your computer by right clicking it and dropping down to properties. There you will see the size of the photo and be able to tell if you need to edit it.
If size editing is needed you can do so easily by opening MS Paint which comes with Windows and clicking the image button in the tab section. There you will see a drop down called Attributes. By clicking that you will be able to adjust the size of the photo and make it smaller.

I hope this doesnt inconveinence anyone and if there are any questons feel free to ask. By making this change we will be able to have a smoother running website

Thanks

Maybe. but the point is everyone has ms paint therefore its more general, especially for idiots like me :/
 
Irfanview is a free program that allowed very flexible resizing and you won't loose the quality that you would with ms paint

OH yeah right! (that is sarcasum btw)

I'm sorry but this is really dissapointing to be this far behind.
I do understand the time constraints and the fact that ken has more important
things to do.
I have been very patient and supprted the mods against members telling them to
"hurry up" "get your finger out" etc, but now I'm just impatient.

Rant over. :look: :S
 
I think that some member needs to volenter to be in charge of the OTM Comps. It may go quicker that way as to them starting, etc.
