I've awarded the rebirth round. I'd like to congratulate everyone on
the amazing contributions. This was an excellent round and included
some stunning images. Thanks to all.

The website seems to be badly broken right now. Clicking on the image
seems to jump to completely random pages (eg. to the viewing page of some
5-years-old round, to the viewing page of a completely different image,
and sometimes just to the front page (even though the URL does still look
correct)), and trying to view the comments of any of the submissions gives
an internal error.

Can't confirm the random jumping (at least not seen it yet); I did see
the internal error, but it works fine when logged in.

There doesn't seem to be a way to see the scores that the entries got.
Is this intentional?

It seems that only the first paragraph of the comments is shown (at least
from my comments). Is this a glitch in the part which shows the comments,
or weren't the rest of the paragraphs even saved?
This is actually quite bad. Most of my comments seem short and abrupt
because only the first paragraph is shown. My consequent explanations are
not shown.
Also I notice that some of the images do not show my comments at all,
even though I commented every single one.

Just as an example, my comments to Piqueres' submission shows as:
"Spring is a rather clich? theme for "rebirth", but I suppose it's better
than no connection to the topic at all."
and that's it. However, I wrote quite a lot more! That's not the only thing
I wrote. Just showing that makes it look like I'm being abrupt and rude.

I'm aware of the problem with the internal error when viewing comments.
Logging in seem solves the problem but I'll put in a proper fix shortly.
I'll look into multi-paragraph comments and see what the problem is there.
Thanks

Could viewing the comments be disabled until then? It really bothers me
that people are getting the wrong impression of what I have commented,
based only on the first paragraph of what I wrote.

Ah... don't worry, in fact your comment was totally correct, and I needed
a reprimand for being too lazy... ;)

I noticed that you posted my comments from this group onto the website.
Just want to let you know that this was recognized and very much
appreciated.
Thank you,

Cool Jaime.
As someone else said though. I am curous what you would have offered
about your image had you not been timed out when you uploaded it.

Ditto what Jaime said, Warp. No sweat here about any of your comments
on mine or any other entry. Just waiting to see the full text at some
point.

I got a kick out of this truncation:
--- From Mike the Elder:
My critique consists of five basic points: <end transmission>
Reminds me of a "game" I like to play -- *very* rarely, 'cause it could
*quickly* become annoying.
"This guy I know walked past that building after dark once ..."
"I heard about this volunteer who was feeding the lions at the zoo ..."
"That reminds me of a joke ..." (credit to wife for that one)
AND??!!??!??!??
"and what?"
"... and he bought a Coke at the gas station next door."
"... and the lions ate the food."
"... no joke in particular, just reminds me of a joke."

The first time it timed out, and I didn't save the descriptions (I should
remember to save them to a local file next time, just in case). The second
time I just entered "test", to quickly submit the entry and test if it was
really a timeout problem, as Warp suggested... I somehow assumed that I will
be able later to edit the descriptions... :(
In any case, there was nothing interesting in my descriptions... my only
concern is that I didn't credit the author of the butterfly model (Toru
Miyazawa, http://toucan.web.infoseek.co.jp/3DCG/3ds/FlowerModelsE.html).
The image description was just excuses for the lack of originality, and
the techniques description was rather short. The only point worth mentioning
is that I used mostly old objects and techniques to quickly create an entry,
as my only real purpose was to help testing the new IRTC engine.

I hadn't seen the humor there, but now that you point it out...

I suppose it's lucky that the comments are not currently visible to
people without an irtc account due to the technical glitch (and I assume
most people who have an account will read this newsgroup as well). That
lessens the damage.
Still, I would feel more at ease if the comments were hidden until the
problems are solved.
