It's time for October 2008's Boat of the Month nominations!

Here's how this deal works for our newer members.

Each month we have five pics which battle it out in a poll to find out which boat is the boat of the month. The boat that gets the most votes as chosen by our members wins our boat of the month contest, and the winning boat graces our entrance page for a month.

Once the official poll is completed, the top boat is the boat of the month, and the boat that gets the least amount of votes gets eliminated. That leaves three holdover pics at the end of each month. Those three pics carry over to the next month's contest and get to try to win again.

Here is what to do, if you would like to participate.

If you'd like to enter your own boat, please post your best pic. If you'd like to nominate a fellow members boat, you can do so by posting it in this thread as well.

*Other Rules Worth Noting*

- Please do not post multiple pics of your boat! Just post your best single pic! Posting multiple pics of the same boat just lessens your chances of making it into the official poll as it will most likely just split your vote up! Also, if a member's boat is already nominated, please do not nominate another pic of it! Again, this just causes vote splitting!

- Due to the overwhelming response of nomination pics we're receiving- we are now limiting total nomination pics to a total of 10! Meaning, if and when we reach ten nominations within this thread, at that point we will immediately move to the nomination vote portion of the process!


Once we hit the middle of the month, or when we get entries, we'll hold an elimination poll to find the top nominated pic which will then advance to our official Boat of the Month poll. Please note, we are only adding one pic this month versus the usual two. This is due to a three way tie in the official poll for September.

If you need picture posting instructions, please refer to the instruction thread located in the "picture this" forum and also located in the board feedback forum.

Please note, we also have a new option for pic uploading in the form of our "limited access" supporter's subscription which costs just $5 U.S. dollars. So you shouldn't have to struggle posting pics anymore! :)

Details of how to purchase it can be found in the Board Announcements Forum.

Good luck everyone!

Let's see those pics!

HEY CHRIS
CAN YOU GET RID OF MY FAILED ATTEMPTS AND MAKE MY PIC BIG
THANKS
LAPLANT,

You should actually be able to upload that pic to the gallery. I can't really make it bigger than it is as it seems that is the largest size of it. You could you load a bigger version up in the gallery if you like. It wont be a huge pic but it might be a little bigger.

I can clean up the red "X"'s for you though. :)

Well this pic you uploaded as an attachment, they are always thumbnails. If you mean when you attempt to load pics from the gallery, it's changed a bit when the software got updated. But if you play around, you'll find there are options to display different size pictures, if you click a little button in the gallery which is near the posting code. You have to look for the code that displays medium size pics.

Last call people!

Mini-poll goes up tomorrow. :thumb:

The poll is up Gang.

Please note, we are only adding one new pic this month versus the usual two, due to the tie in September's vote.

So you are therefore voting for your favourite single pic.

Also, please do not vote for your own boat.

Good luck! :)

I was hoping this photo would be included in the running...
