I'm having trouble verifying that my submission was successful. I followed the rules and created a thread and posted it but when I follow the directions in this link:
https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/18-monthly-photo-contests/65-contest-rule...ow-submit.html which say to go to the submissions forum to see if my submission was successful I am not seeing anything there.

Is there any way to verify it was submitted or do I take it on faith?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, the way I check is to go up to the drop box on the upper right and click on My Activity. Then chose "My Posts". It should show up in that list if it is there. There are other ways to double check depending on how it was uploaded. Hope this helps.

Thanks - it's not showing up there. Which begs the question - what went wrong? I filled out the form and submitted my thread - but it just went back to a blank form. Has anyone submitted to this contest today successfully?

I am out of ideas. Maybe a pm to Adam or someone can get you some answers.

I feel dumb. I redid it and realized what the problem was. I hadn't entered any text the message was too short. The error was so small I didn't notice it in my hurry. It looked like it had just dumped my effort. Anyway... it's fixed.
