Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one with that problem. I guess we should
have just used ftp to upload the files? As of 2006-10-20, web submission
gives me an error saying that voting is taking place.

That's bizarre...!!
I suppose that for one reason or another, it refers to the previous 
round....
Well, I suppose that through ftp uploading has been achieved correctly, 
otherwise there is very little we can do... except grumble  :-)

I just uploaded using FTP, due to the web submission / voting issue.
*crossing fingers*  I sent an email to the IRTC Admins about the
problem yesterday.  I hope all is well with IRTC.  I have allot of
work in on this one...

What worries me is that I expected an e-mail telling me that everything was 
ok (or not) with my upload, like in the past. I thought - wrongly maybe - 
that that was an automatic process. But I have received nothing... Just 
waiting now to see if I'm there when the list appears on the IRTC site.... 
:-(

If you're not, then I'm probably not either, since I also did not receive an email
confirmation.  I wasn't sure if I would, though, since I've never used ftp submission
and I've only used the web
submission once in the past.  *both fingers crossed now*

  Hey guys,  I've used the web submission ever since my three images for the 
'Minimalism' round didn't make it through the email route (the images were 
sent, didn't bounce, and are 'out there' somewhere, and I didn't receive the 
confirmation email ).

   To say I was disappointed, is an understatement.

  My last two web submissions for the IRTC went through fine though, so you 
should be ok. If not, then something has to be done about it once and for 
all!

  Ok, let's get our heads together and think of a punishment...   ;)

Force the IRTC admin to render one of Gilles' masterpieces using only an
abacus and a set of felt-tip pens.

Only joking, I can appreciate Real Life must be the cause for our
consternation! I too am awaiting final confirmation from an FTP submission.
Let's not cross too many fingers guys, we might jinx it!

We get confirmations from an FTP submission? How does that work? I haven't
gotten anything, although my and many other images are in the
/pub/stills/incoming directory. If that directory is accurate as to the
number of admissions, looks like we'll have a really small round this time.

Like Bill said, I suppose too that Real Life is behind this.

I am afraid I don't exactly remember how that went with ftp submission, been 
awhile since my last submission, but I thought there was that control about 
file-name length, e-mail address, image weight (in terms of kb), etc...

Let's be patient :-)

       Real life is ok.  That's *our* challenge in this world, our real life 
3D game if you like - but REAL.

     Yeah, real life is a right royal pain sometimes, but, you know, when 
you have to confront it, then do so. Don't hold back in any way whatsoever 
for the things that are really important, like your love for your partner. 
Trust me on this.

Of course! I just meant that the admin have probably got more important
things to do than ensure the irtc schedule runs on time to the minute. In a
light-hearted tone. :-)

POV-Ray, and recreational computing in general, is a hobby. I have many. I
pursue them when I have spare time between other aspects of my life. All of
this is 'real life' as far as I'm concerned. I wouldn't expect anybody else
to behave any differently!

     Yes, I know that Bill, and I'm sorry, I wasn't having a pop at you or 
anything, I read your post and just blurted out my feelings because I'm 
having a difficult time at the moment with my wife being recently 
hospitalised. I just wasn't very 'with it' last night, that's all, Pover.

I don't know about Bill, but I didn't read your answer as any kind of 
criticism. In fact, I found it quite true (and emotional, now I know why) 
and something we are not always standing still for to consider at length. It 
was a fair reminder, especially as I happen to know exactly what you 
mean....
I hope your wife will be well soon. Lots of strength to both of you!

Thomas

No no, I had no such impression. There was nothing wrong with your post! I
was just clarifying my thinking, really. :-D

Seconded, heartily. All the best!
