ATTENTION!!! VERY IMPORTANT FOR THOSE WHO HAVE SENT ME ENTRIES, AND WILL SEND ME ENTRIES!!!!

This is so strange, but I was saving the entries in the inbox rather than saving them right away to my hard drive, so I could do it all at once, and TWO of the photos have disappeared. DU seemed to drop the photos or something. What is really strange is I thought it was three photos dropped at first, but one came back, so I will keep checking my inbox. I am apparently not computer savvy enough to figure out why that would happen.

Yes, I checked it on two different browsers and on two different computers, and got the same result with all of them.

I have sent TWO people whose photos were dropped my email address to resend me their entries to my email.

Everyone else, keep sending me entries by PM, but I will ONLY CONFIRM THESE AFTER I HAVE SAVED THEM TO MY COMPUTER. If I don't get the photo, I will send you my email.

I have no idea what happened. If you have sent me your entry but did not just get a PM with my email, don't worry, I have your entry saved.

So strange.

So that could be the issue. I was blaming it on DU, but Photobucket is the more likely culprit (by a long shot).

This doesn't usually happen with Photobucket.....

I love Photobucket, but they keep saying there is an all new Photobucket coming. I am not particularly looking forward to that! (understatement).

My account is okay. Strange!

At least in this contest they will all be from the same account. If it crashes it will be all of them.

The photo is now showing in the message I sent. (it shows in my sent box anyway)

It didn't earlier.

Thanks!
