I have a question: Would _______* count as a Vehicle for the Vehicle V.S Ditto category? *Fill in the blank with, Sedan Chair? Dragon with a rider (standing in a box maybe) ? Thanks!
A sedan chair is okay such as the one that was question 19. But a person just riding an animal such as a dragon or horse or pig or whatever animal, is not a vehicle.

Ok, thanks, I plan on doing a brick built elephant like the one you referred to, only I'll downsize considerably :tasty: .

None of my entries are showing up on the view entries page, which is kind of problematic as I had seven of them and the contest ends tomorrow.
Why? Because I'm Batman!

This is partially because your entries have some issues. See the naughty list:

Oh the dreaded double post...

As the last day of entries is here for the CCC, please remember a few things:

1) All photos must be in their own "set" or "folder."

2) There must be one photo with a white background.

3) Please make sure your photos are of proper size. We increased this for you this year...but still there are a HUGE number of entries with too big of photos.

And finally, several of us are trying to approve memberships, and entries today as fast as we can, but when there are (at current count) 93 entries to approve...a huge amount have one of those above issues...the naughty list will be big. And entries are still coming in...and will until the server hits midnight EST.

The naughty list is one of the issues that delays judging. Please fix your issues as soon as you can.

Also, please remember...tonight and tomorrow are holidays. We'll help as much as we can, but we have obligations other than CC. If you waited until the last possible minute, sometimes that can be problematic.

Well, only three entries from me this year...

But that makes me eligible for half of the Master Builder title and prize...right? :wink:

I am pretty sure I just submitted an entry to the small misc. category that was meant for Medieval Husbandry. Its a 48x48 footprint, should I just resubmit with the corrections? Or are there other hoops as well.

Sorry :P

Which one? Treetrunk house? I actually just flagged that as potentially moving to Misc-Large because of the dimensions, but Medieval Husbandry should work too... We can adjust the category if we know which one to switch...

I think this may have already been addressed, but I couldn't find it; would a custom name/titled brick be ok to use in the border of a build? Or would this count as a custom element? Thanks everyone, and sorry for the late question. :oops:

EDIT: I just went for it. So if it gets DQ'd then c'est la vie. But, now I'm having an issue submitting my custom figure entry. It keeps telling me that the image is too large at 1600 x 1252, because the image size restriction is still 800 x 600. I have a screenshot if need be, I just thought it was a bit odd. Thanks again though :D

Ninja Edit: It seems to have gone through. Looks like it was a problem with the description aspect, so I just choose to go without one.

It's been done before in years past-- for example, this one from last year:

Strange-- If you've got a screenshot, could you PM or email me with it? I thought I modified it to remove all references to 800x600, and use the new sizing, but maybe I missed something...

Well, there is a problem with your links-- they seem to be linking to a private gallery-- I can't view them. Again, feel free to PM new links or fix them to be public. If not fixed, it'll just show up on the naughty list...

I have made all the pics public now (Forgot to do so until late last night), so I hope there isn't a problem. Sorry for all the confusion :)

Only one of my entries isn't showing up yet, my question is will it be on the naughty list? Or is it possible that you guys still haven't looked at it (I asked because one or two of the ones I submitted after it have showed up) ?

There are still over 90 entries that need to be completely checked. Reality...the last two days were holidays. Some of us were unavailable and out of town, some of us had family obligations.

Please be patient. Everything will be looked at and addressed as soon as it can be. We do appreciate that you want to address your issues as soon as possible. It just takes time to check every single entry for everything that has to be checked.

Hello admins,

I appreciate all the time and effort you put into this, I hope you had an excellent holiday.

I realized I saw one of my creations (Laketown Hobbit Poster) in "Out with the New", I don't remember submitting it to that? I don't think it belongs there, I think I was trying to submit it to "Miscellaneous, Large Creation."

Thank you again,
~Matthew~
