The time it takes to vote.
How long does it take to go over a whole contest?
From some recent comments, I get the idea some folks take a couple of hours.
WHEW!!
I was just thinking how I finished mine in around twenty minutes a couple nights ago,
and it occured to me that maybe some folks are "surfing a harder way".
So, I'm gonna share my 'surf to vote' routine.
Maybe it will be a big time saver for someone, maybe you.
Here goes........................

Here, in image 1--I have opened the main voting page in a window on the left.
(choose the link you prefer now--'most recent' 'most votes' or 'default'.)
Then I open a second window-just 'anything' on right--i then resize windows to fit
full screen evenly.

Don't forget to clik 'display all entrys'--even if yer on 'dial-up', go ahead-
you'll only do that once--this page will not be refreshed.

NOW! pay attention--"CLIK" on the first image you want to
judge--"HOLD DOWN THE MOUSE BUTTON-clik on the desired "thumbnail" and
don't release the button--now Drag your pointer onto the right page --
NOW you can release the pointer!

VoilA!
The image you wish to judge has opened in that window--now comment-
vote-enter vote-slide yer pointer back to the left page-pick another thumbnail and repeat.
Anyone should be able to judge every image in a contest
quickly and be done long before it feels like a chore--
don't forget to 'dawdle' over the images that catch your
imagination or impress you with the skilz involved.
Thanks for peeking in.

I haven't been using my firefox--it's getting a lil'
buggy for some reason, but it worked on that too.
so THANKS CYNN!!
It seems to work on them all then Wink
I suppose if anyone's on dial-up,
they can at least still paruse the thumbs while waiting for the vote page to load.
That's gotta be a plus.

BTW, This is how I google for pictures!!!!!!!!!!!
NEVER have to "Back-button" and NEVER get stuck on some creepy creeps page
that defeats the 'back-button' Wink

Wow.

That is the Cat's ASS! (which is a GOOD thing, even though one might think it is a BAD thing).

Thanks Scion! Your quest to bring your laziness to Masterful levels has benefited EVERYONE here! Very Happy

You can shrink one window and just leave one open and drag images
or files you want to open real fast and ez
from your 'desktop'
right into
your browser window. try it= it's tens times faster than using your 'file viewr'

Good idea...., but I just tend to right click on image I like, then open in new window, I have up to 10 open at once, without the tabs at bottom forming into a scroll menu tab. And I vote or comment away, and anyone who has received a vote/comment from me, know I love to cover all bases, and talk a little dog turd while I'm there, for pure amusment of course. Plus I always use all my votes for a piece (unless there is a chronic shortage of good posts...although hasnt happened yet) I never find it a chore like some people do, and enjoy commenting on peeps work. I think everyone should find time to leave a comment on peeps works, it is very disheartening to see 150 people have viewed ya pic.... but only 6 have left acomment/vote.....anyway people I am rattling on like a freak on a leash.....I will leave you all in peace now Surprised) laters boys and girls

Thanks, Scion.....great tip.

I screwed up your tut (never could follow directions...), but found something else: on a mac...IE...command-click (apple-click) on the thumbnail opens the link in a new window...
