If Active Scripting (javascript) is disabled, the stars will not show up.

Event though those may not be taken in Wisconsin and the rules do not say that an Illinois picture cannot be submitted, I think the "spirit is to have pictures in Wisconsin. The problem is how to tell where it was taken. I have a couple great pictures, but not in state. I would suggest that in the future, that they be only WI pics.

Nothing to click on that I can see when viewing the pictures. I guess I can't vote, but I have been able to in the past. Oh well.

Sorry about the double-up on 27 and 35. Fixed.
As for the theme, the announcement in the forums and the article on the front page state "Show us your original geocaching related photo that you think best illustrates what Spring is."

I would have liked to seen only Wisconsin photos, but not required. I would really liked to have seen photos of Spring, but it was decided at the last minute to fold in the campout event, and things got mucked up a bit.

If you are not seeing the rating stars, please try the following:

Be sure "Active Scripting" is not disabled in Internet Explorer, or "Enable Javascript" in Firefox.

If that doesn't work...

Log out of the WGA website and log back in.

If that still didn't fix things, log out and then at the login screen click on "Delete All Cookies" near the upper right part of the page. Delete all site cookies and log back in.

If it's still not working, please start a thread in the "Tech Talk" forum.

The stars were missing a couple of days ago... I've logged in since then and there they were.

Sorry for the inconvience to iphone/ipad users. The resources to do the programming necessary to fix that aren't available.
