Have a problem with "Image of a Day".

At the time, I assumed server loads. They were also having issues that frequently pushed a 'site down for the moment' screen back then. So, that's my guess. Or a host switch. Don't know. I'm just a user member.

It was working recently, so another change may have broken it. I'll take a look soon.

There used to be a feature called Screenshot Showdown where you could vote on which of two images you thought was more interesting. It got removed a while back (the Vote link is still there but it doesn't really go anywhere), but the number of votes cast is still being displayed.


Bu if we can't vote - how Top this Week is calculating now?

If we cant vote - why do we need "Image of the day"?

Hi. What does it mean "Your Total Votes: 0" ... this value is equal 0 for a long time. When I press/click on other images - nothing happens. Looks like vote system is broken.

Been broke for close to a year or more. Or turned off. I think we have a lot of fingers in the pudding around here.

Works again.

From memory, there were also issues of inappropriate images getting through.

Still a problem. :) Requires moderation.

Hi. Thanks. It works now.

Hi. It works in my browser.

Hi. It is working but freezing: some times can't load image, or when I selected/voted - page start loading...and loading for ever.

I cant use it. I need to refresh page 10 times before it will show me both images

This will take some time to cycle through unless I can get around to fixing the code for it. For reasons I won't explain right now, older IOTD images were deleted from the server. Those images are still being referenced in the database, and the code isn't confirming the file exists - so you get your blank image.

These things will get fixed, but we're in process of upgrading a lot of old cruft that's been rotting and it's going to take time to sort through it all.

Hi. Thanks for explaining. We will wait patiently.
