A couple of crude postings on the Cap Comp that could be removed. One from 'ILoveJimmySavile', one from 'Blaston Phools'.

Thanks

Issue with the caption comp ... it does not seem to accept my forum log-in credentials.

Well I just tried it myself and it seems to work fine for me. It uses the exact same code that forum does and neither have changed recently. Have you hanged your forum password recently.

Nope. It's been like this almost since the new system started, I just never bothered with it much since. Could it be stuck on my old forum username?

The exact picture used for the Caption Comp. this month was used back in early 2011. Don't know if that was intentional to try to challenge us.

I've changed the picture. It was a duplicate on disk, otherwise is wouldn't happen (ie there are to files with the same picture). We have a program that lists the ones we've not already used, but it only works by file name.

Hi,
I really enjoy the Caption Competition, and I appreciate the work it takes to maintain this site.
When you have the time, could you please check out entries by Scarlet72, Madge, Janess, and Kassi on Caption Competition #424?
Thanks.
