POTD Delays (ENDED)
Sorry for the delays in POTD selection. Our photo host SmugMug has made some more updates to their API, so we're having trouble sending the winning selections to their site. Hope to have it resolved very soon.
Thanks always for your patience!
UPDATE: Thanks to the API Team, we now have this working and today's winners are live!

Site Speed Fix - Ads Pulled
Hopefully the problem with the slowness of the site is diminished on the most accessed pages. POTD viewing, Uploading, Main Page, etc. should all be markedly imrproved. One of our ad providers has been having server issues and unfortunately this was not coded to be plug and play. So to resolve this, I've turned off all ads for the time being.
If a page you regularly visit is showing ads and lagging (particularly from shopping.com), let me know please and I'll pull it.
As always, thanks for your patience!

Put Your Subject in Motion for April POTD
Capturing a subject in motion and conveying that motion is one of the hardest photos to do well. So that is the challenge upon you for April. Your photo should clearly indicate the subject is moving and be an interesting photo. Either the subject is blurred or the background is blurred as you pan the camera. Freeze frames and interesting patterns with the whole scene blurred is not what we're looking for here.
Think it over and take your best shot. Category is open now for submissions.
