I do agree that the upload image function of this sub directory threads stopped working a while back - but external links continued to work okay.
Going forward....
....... I agree that the use of a badge really isn't necessary for a "fun" contest such as this........ and yes it will help get the entries made numbers up for everyone (including myself)....... and it will possibly allow "in-water" photographs that further speed the release cycle if you don't need to net or hand-land the fish (however clear photos for proper positive ID should remain mandatory).
We should consider other possible contest types to supplement this "species count" theme. This may also increase participation as some fish may be entered in several different competitions. We must realize that not all anglers are into species counting.
I also propose that direct upload & linked jpeg/bitmap/png picture file size be limited, (both here and in the entire board), to speed download times for the many and remove the need for the system to shrink the pics on the fly - which takes further durations.
Cheers,
