Hello everyone, I noticed the photography assignment thread so I thought some people might be interested in a website I just created. The concept is similar (you post a picture related to the theme of the week/period and people vote for it and the winner is the person with the most votes) so it might interest some of you. Here's the link:

MyFocusPhotos.com

I would love to get feedback from you guys (in terms of the site's design and the contest itself). Now please understand that we've just launched yesterday and we are still in the process of adding features (we want a tutorial section etc) and we do plan on giving prizes to the winners (the current theme won't have any prizes as we're using it to test the site itself....a beta test of some sort)

note: If the admins are not happy with the post just delete it, but I wanted to share it with people and get some feedback

Thank you!

We have our first prize, you can win an Apple 1GB iPod Shuffle. (We will ship the prize worldwide)

Enter: http://myfocusphotos.com

Prize:

1 x Apple 1GB iPod Shuffle (any colour)

How to enter:

You must upload a picture (taken by yourself) in the contest (theme: pets) and if your picture is voted by MyFocus Photos users as the best picture (each user can vote for your picture), then you will win the iPod Shuffle. The best picture is the one with the most votes at the end of the contest.

are we able to enter more than one in the pet contest? or any contest for that matter?

Right now we allow only 1 picture / person / contest (so you and your gf can each post a picture, just make sure you took the picture you're submitting)

We do plan on having more difficult themes in the future where we will allow 2-3 pictures / person / contest

ok, thanks. yeah we both do photography. shes just much better than me. lol.

thats cool, so far i'm really liking the site. i was over on soaphoto.com. but lately its been pretty stupid. cause all the people that were on the forums developed there own little clicks, and would only vote on there friends pics. and they also have differnet levels(bronze, silver, gold, ect.) and the higher the level the more points you can give to a pic(like gold=4pts, platnium=10pts, and so on) so most people would only vote for platium, in hopes that they would give a return vote. its just not a good set up.

We're definitely going to do everything we can to make sure that doesn't happen on our site. We want people to vote based on the picture and not the person, and we also believe everyone's opinion is equal (everyone's vote is worth 1). I hope you're enjoying the site :)

I see this on Firefox 3.01 also

Interesting, I tested it on IE 6/7, Firefox 2/3.0.1 and Safari and it was ok, I'll have to see if I can find a way around it.....I did specify a size of 15 for the 2 boxes but looks like some browsers are not listening

question, my gf was just on there and she was wondering if theres a way to tell if some one left a comment on a shot, other than going through each one and checking?

and if not, that might be something to add.

well it depends, if it's your picture then you should get an email alert (unless you turn it off). If you just want to see all the comments you can click on "Last Comments" in the left menu. Also if you go in an album (eg: pets contest) and click Last Comment you will see the last comments from that specific contest only.

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
    • To be clear I'm anti trump, the bigger point is why review this game at all?
    • Trillion dollar Microsoft has to reduce spending by hurting more people. Good job Microsoft. Good Job Asha.
    • That's a shame. The big Xbox reset when Phil and Sarah left and then Asha came on and brought a new team of executives, and all the layoffs last year and saying that the ABK merger wouldn't result in redundancies I am surprised they are calling for yet another reset and yet more layoffs.
