| How do I run a contest on photos
I have photopost 6.11 and I need to know if it supports contests and voting and where do I find instructions on how to set this up and how can I tell if it is working?

Jeff
In admin edit categories for the category you want to allow voting set the rating type when editing the category. You can then view the category as admin and will see the voting admin panel. once enabled users can view the category and will see a vote link under the photo thumbnails in that category.

When contest voting is enabled, can a single visitor vote for the same photo multiple times, or is there some kind of control to prevent them voting for the same photo more than once?

They can only vote for one photo in the category of votable photos.

| I am half way there
Chuck,
I turned on contest in a catagory and it says voting has started, but I get nothing below the thumbnails in this catagory to be able to allow me to vote. Ihave pushed the "enable voting" link
Here is the catagory: Group Imaging Forum - Building Campaign - Powered by PhotoPost
thanks.

Chuck,
I went to another pc in my office and still can't see the vote link. I think that is because I set it tohave to be registered to vote. I think i want to reverse that. I can't remember where in admin I set that to register only. Can you point me in the right direction. thanks.
