No, we are just in the process of transitioning it over. Please bear with us. We're not as good at this as Zz was.
 
Good to hear!:approve: See my sig. I hope something can somehow induce more visits to it.

Well I have often wondered how it gets hundreds of views but only a handful of votes. But I don't know how visits are registered - if you visit it several times to admire your own pic does that register as several views?
 
Some changes are coming (I hear) that will be good news for the photo contests. Not sure how the visits are counted.
