Let's start with your first question and work our way down
- Don't reply to the submission thread. Rather, post your photo in a new thread here:
http://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/f...splay.php?f=21 . To attach photos, scroll down to "thread options" when posting a new thread, and click on the "manage attachments" button. Then, select the file from your PC (or enter the .jpg's URL from pbase) and click "upload."
-Yeah, each contest will run for 2 weeks. This first one, however, will run through all of September. Future topic threads will be entitled October Contest #1, October Contest #2, November Contest #1, November Contest #2, and so on.
-That's just a recommendation, not a scrict rule

You'll be allowed to post those pics.
I hope these answers help!
