Hoping many will join in and increase the comments for Today-Friday, the 27th...
My daughter and her family are coming home for three weeks. My daughter and myself are members of gather. Is is ok if we both use the same computer? I dont wnat to ruin things for either of us. I didnt know if your security updates would register us as being frauds or not.
Thanks for your feedback and very valid concerns about the winning photos.
I will have Customer Support re-examine all the winners and publish an update when and if necessary. Now, just so everyone knows, I'm off today, so it might not happen until later in the afternoon... but I assure you... I am on it!
Have a great Friday!
Pam
Plus, I've learned that some members really enjoy getting a sneak-peak of what's to come the night before!
Thanks for the update on our concerns. This is why several of us did not like the rule change mid stream. we were telling you that not just family photos were marked family. And likewise some photos in the family group were without the family tag and clearly not family related have been let in because of the rule change midstream. ANd then these winners should not be penalized now that they were announced, due to someones mistake. But the contest should continue as it was with the original rules and this should not happen again. As the deck & the sunset were in the family group but not with the tag family. They really should not have won but it also is not fair to take back something given through mistakes. However I do think you should add 2 more winners & 2 more commentors from those that posted to the new family group with the tag family, to make up for this mistake. This would make it fair.
