If you submit photos, I will go and approve them as time allows throughout the day / week. The ideal image size and format seems to be 300x to 900x dpi jpg, but the system will accept larger and smaller files, and gifs, and even png I think...

The worst pictures are long, rectangular or odd shaped images that are huge or tiny. Please use this thread to report trouble - I will keep my eye on this discussion and have instructed the developers to also look here.

Here is an inside look at the Dumpdiggers Arena Battles

This is the Best Bullet Battle Nov 9 - 15th 2008

The battle will end in a few hours... who do you think is winning?

Well let me show you:

This is what the administrator sees on the other side of the battles. The select winner check box mechanism is present in case there's a tie. Using the check box the Admin can choose and make final decisions. If all boxes are left unchecked, the winning photo (the one with the most votes) will automatically be transferred to the Hall of Fame and the winning member will be rewarded with 25 shovels and have his or her photo displayed in the uppermost section of his or her own mydiggerspace as a 'Blue Ribbon Photo'. In a perfect world, this honour would pay that member a stipend of 1 green shovel per week per blue ribbon photo, but thats something the developers seem to having a real hard with... Check your shovel bank accounts? Are they recording your votes and the votes your photos received in battle?
