As mentioned, I told you I would contact William regarding the rep points and the notation below them and today was able to get the answers for you.
The green boxes that represent the rep points was originally set to change once a person received 50 points. William stated he also felt that 50 was too high a required amount so he said he would lower the amount to get a new box for each 20 points instead of 50. He was unsure if he changed the option correctly and according to mine it did not change but he will fix that feature for all of us as his time allows.
The notation below the box represents the amount of rep points a person has received as well. That slogan also changes with the rep points one has.
William also enlarged the size of the box where the awards go in our posts to hold more. Before there was room for only 8 awards (with the others hidden) and now there is room for 12. That can also be increased to hold more if and when needed.
I am hoping to start having a Second Place Winner (with an award) before the end of this months contests. There is just so many great pictures that do not get recognized and this will give everyone a better chance to get an award. When the contests started and we had 5 entries it was hardly necessary but I feel now that a Second Place Award should be offered and William agrees.
I feel badly that so many lose their award by just a hair each month and sometimes within the last few hours. I can understand their disappointment and hopefully this will now include those.
I will post a thread about this once it's finalized with William but am anxious for it to start at the end of this months contest. It needs to be sanctioned by William first, as all things are, and an award needs to be decided on but I think we can do it by the end of the month. I need to hear from William first before posting an announcement and right now he has a terrible eye infection and can hardly see. His 3rd or 4th eye infection since he arrived in Sweden.
I hope this answers some of the questions that were asked? If I missed something, let me know.
