Hi @Art what about the number of submitted photos per member, or in other words can members submit more than one photo per month and will get points on all of them or the winning photo is the one with the most received points?

Thanks for the question, @ayman.roshdy! Good point I forgot.

Only 1 entry per member, please. Bring your best photo!

That's a fun idea, I was actually going to ask if we are going to have a photo forum/sub-forum?

So I’m a little late in setting this up. Should be up in the next day or two.

Bumping to bring this back up to the top.
