DTC Challenges

Postby DebT on Sat May 22, 2010 8:14 am

Hi, I know the DTC's are stored in a folder Bimonthly Challenges but is it possible the have the link to the current one on the front page similar to POTW - just that way it would remind me to do something everytime I log in (I tend to just go to recent posts and quite often miss it or forget it )

Hi Deb,

I'm not sure that I understand your question.

The link on the portal page for the PotW links to a post with the image selected for PotW.

There's no image actually being selected for these challenges, except at the end ....

To what would/should this link attach?

I think it's just a gentle reminder on the portal page of what the theme is for the bi monthly challenge, or a link to the latest bi monthly challenge.

My assumption is that it would be positioned on the left panel underneath the Potw link.

not trying to make it dfficult to administer , just easy to find and remember everytime I login ... a link to the current open DTC's would do nicely (under the POW?) - or even a reminder in the calendar section of the current DTC's theme and end date

I probably just need to educate myself to look for them but probably not the only one

I agree that it would be nice to see the current theme on the portal page. However, I rarely go to the portal page.

What I do now is is subscribe to the topic as soon as a new theme is published. Usually not long after the votes are tallied. That way, I get reminded as soon as someone else posts a picture. Not perfect, and the extra reminder would be nice, but it does help.
