Michael Ventura Posted January 9, 2020 Author Share Posted January 9, 2020 I hope AlexG will see this and take over the next challenge....I saw that he was on the Forum yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering about this too and with the removal of private messaging I wonder if the best thing is to find his original post in the competition, use it as a quote (as I have with yours), and then when he next logs in he will get a notification. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCat Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 So hard for me to understand this. No doubt I am very self-absorbed and when I am in the final voting I check obsessively to see how my bears are doing!! It has happened now and then lately that people don't seem to understand that winning means taking over the next challenge. We are counting on you Alex. Wonderful evocative image! Let's hear your idea for this month.. Paulette 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Ventura Posted January 10, 2020 Author Share Posted January 10, 2020 I propose that if we don’t hear from AlexG by the end of today, then the win should go to Olivier Parent, who was the close 2nd place entry. Any thoughts? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiskerke Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 (edited) If you go over to his profile https://discussion.alamy.com/profile/8326-alexg/ you'll notice that he does check in once in a while. Maybe ask him in his most recent thread? wim edit: if you quote him, then the little notifications bell will go off or at least show up on his page when he checks in.

meanderingemu Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 i know the month i won i followed when i saw i was leading (mainly stressing about potential of finding a subject 🙂 ) ..... could i suggest that in winner announcement post the person's forum ID be linked so they get a notice at top ( using @ then starting to type the ID give you a list) @AlexG your attendance is required... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCat Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 This was such an exciting race with a possible tie at one point. I'm disappointed that Alex didn't know what was happening. He should have been having fun. Paulette 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexG Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 (edited) Hey! Thank you for the award! I really just noticed. I did not get the notification earlier. I am very honored. I wish the photo would result in some sales though. =P Edited January 10, 2020 by AlexG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you mean by January challenge is in my hands now? You have to call for entries, then set up the poll and announce the winner. If you need help I'm sure Michael will offer it.

Wim has been keeping a running list of previous challenge topics if that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you see, I am not a daily forum visitor, don't have the time to stay on top of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
