Locking the portrait gallery update thread

Can we get the portrait gallery update thread locked ?

That way when Shannara updates the gallery we know it has really been updated.

I have seen the thread "light up" when others have posted there ... triggering me to both send a new portrait to Shannara TOO early ... AND to resend the portrait I sent earlier that month thinking that my last one did not for some reason get to her.

Thanks

Re: Locking the portrait gallery update thread

No, locking it would mean that people with genuine questions regarding the updates would not be able to post to it, and that is one of the reasons the thread exists.

I've asked people not to post in it just to chat, and so far they have complied.

Might I suggest that, in future, you don't use the new message indicator as a signal that it's time to send in new portrait submissions, but actually take a look at the thread to see why it's been posted to - it might just be somebody asking a question about the portraits.

(chuckle) No ones "fault" other than us who did not read the thread to see that there was a post and not one from a moderator. We assumed the portraits were updated early.

Then we dashed off willy nilly (I always liked Willey) to see our newest portraits posted ... DARNED !

Re: Locking the portrait gallery update thread

Know feeling. But it's why I check there. I was hoping but it's okay. I know that is one thread I check daily usually just to find out if new update is done just cause I have submitted and have more. But wait to do so until ready. Or a few days or even perhaps a week later.

Re: Locking the portrait gallery update thread

Updates are generally done on the last weekend of each month (Portrait Editor's schedule permitting).  If you're checking the thread and it's not the last weekend of the month, then you're just going to be disappointed.

Re: Locking the portrait gallery update thread

I can confirm that the next update will be done (barring unforeseen circumstances) this weekend.

And, in general, the update is more likely to be a day or two late than early.  Sad, but true.

Re: Locking the portrait gallery update thread

I thought that was when done. But like a lot when I check this forum(I do regularly) and see it with an indicator I check to see. And sometimes I wait just to give it time. ;)
