1. Thread three needs some more recommendations

As I type this. I'm sure in time this will correct itself, hopefully sooner than later.

Thanks.

Great theme! I really like the diversity.

Great job!!!

4. Thanks

If I screwed up in some way I assume someone will let me know. I hope I caught everything.

5. Thanks, Celebration!

I really liked the blind posting. Made it even more fun

7. Thanks, I like it for a change of pace...........

I think it is nice to kind of change things up occasionally in the contests. And, surprisingly, I find it a bit easier as a host, because I name them the titles, and it is a good crosscheck to make sure I don't make a mistake. I'm not such a detail oriented person so I need all the help I can get.

I do think it is fun to not know who entered what. Then the finale is like taking off the blindfold.

6. You're doing a fine job!

Everything is running smoothly!

8. Thanks, this first part is the hardest

Glad that is behind me!

9. voting is close, so I just did screen shots at 9pm

Here are the official preliminary results. I think I will just let the threads drop without formally closing them. I'm not sure how to do that anyway. The below will be the official results.

10. Thanks Celebration for all the work!

I am lovin' the screen shots idea, still wondering just how you did that.
YES - I got home yesterday, we have a storm here, I'm jet lagged, my arms still hurt from pulling my luggage over cobble stones. Yet I'm going to start looking at the photos I kept loading onto a small netbook PC. I could barely see what they look like on that, but now I transfer them to something with a bigger screen, and look forward to weeding them out.

Excellent subject and contest! Excellent supervision!
FWIW you have my vote for permanent host.

13. I decline, LOL

With Photobucket deciding to throw fits again, no telling when the finals will be.

Try to get caught up on sleep, but yes, priority to getting photos ready.

The screenshot is easy......just push printscreen button, and then paste into Paint, and save. Well that is how I did it anyway. So I have it on my hard drive even if you can't see it here.

I have thumnails on Photobucket, but when I click on them I get--

"414. That’s an error.

The requested URL /adi/N4417.no_url_specifiedOX3036/B6657886.2... is too large to process. That’s all we know."

12. oh my gosh Photobucket is at it again!!!!

What the heck is going on?

Guess it will be awhile before the finals...............sheesh!!
