We wanted to let you know that your My Projects tab, which houses current and completed photo projects in it, is currently down. Once we have more information on this issue, I will update this post.

Things that make you go hmmm? This challenge is relatively self-explanatory: Out of Place! Explore your world and what this means to you, and submit your vision for this week’s Creative Challenge.
OFFICIAL ENTRY RULES
To officially enter the Creative Challenge, you must tag your three submissions with creative-challenge-outofplace. You can then view them and everyone else’s submissions on the DISPLAY PAGE (it updates about every hour). To find out more about this, read the Using Tags on Creative Challenges post.
Submission Guidelines
1. Our editors look for sharp, clear horizontal images that are at a minimum resolution of 800×600 (submissions can have larger resolutions than this). Currently, vertical images cannot fit in the homepage template. Therefore, we cannot publish vertical or narrow panoramic images.
2. Images with added text or images, including watermarks, logos, copyright symbols, graphic borders, frames and time stamps, will not be considered. Collages, however, are acceptable. Images submitted should be your own.
3. Please do not submit pictures that have already been featured on the homepage.
4. The Creative Challenge runs from 12:01 a.m. on February 25 to 12:00 p.m. on March 2 (all times EST).
5. 3 pictures per person (regardless of how many member accounts you have) tagged exactly (including hyphens) with: creative-challenge-outofplace
*Note:Images that don’t meet the exact guidelines can be submitted and viewed for everyone to enjoy, but please understand that we cannot publish images that don’t meet minimum guidelines on the homepage. Also, now that you’re tagging your entries, you don’t need to post links in the comments section anymore.
NEXT CHALLENGE THEME: Interconnected
As a community from around the globe who communicate regularly, this challenge should be interesting! Next week’s challenge will explore interconnections: how do you keep in touch, communicate, share and explore relationships with the people who matter to you? Explore what this means to you, and submit your vision for this Creative Challenge.
For some of you, the future is bright; for others, it’s apocalyptic. That’s why the Creative Challenge: The Future was such an interesting one to judge. We saw lots of fascinating architecture and people, but these three really impressed us:

You’ve given us feedback (which we read daily) that you really want the ability to block members who leave unfavorable comments. While we wish our members didn’t have these kinds of interactions on the site, we know that every community has people like this, so we’re happy that we can do something about it.
Last week, we released the ability for you to block other members from having any contact with you on the site. This means that when you block someone:
To block a member, just click on the “block this user” link next to a comment they have left:
Also, in case you blocked someone by accident, you can go to your People tab on your My Account page and click on the Unblock link. When you unblock a member, they will be able to post comments, bookmark your media, become a fan and invite you to become friends.
Please share your thoughts with us on this new feature, and let us know of anything else we can do to make your experience on Webshots better than ever!
