Poll for September 2018 Competition : QE2 with other iconic liners/ships

[Lynda Bradford]

17 voters this month, and just a few days left. Have we ever had so few?

Please let us know if you have decided that the photo competition is no longer of any interest to you.

Personally, I would love to see it continuing for at least another calendar year (and longer!), as it helps us to gather lots of excellent photos and memories to treasure and discuss here.

Like Isabelle, I would like to hear if forum members are still interested in the Photo Competition.  As Thomas said, we have seen so many photo that would have remained in photo albums had we not had the competition.

I know many people do not have time to look for photos in their albums, but I cannot understand why more forum members are not voting to support those that have contributed and to make a success of the competition.

Your support is appreciated -  please have a look at the entries for the September competition and vote.   

If you think we should be doing something different to encourage more support for the competition, we would like to hear your ideas.

Ill need to run a report on everyone who's logged in during the last month to get an idea of the level of support.  So few bother to log in that 17 may actually be quite a high %

It often seems to be a core of regularly logged in members of the forum who vote. How to expand on that is a big problem to say the least, unfortunately, given the already existing social media presence and following

We have 18 voters now, with one clear leader and three photos running for the runner-up position.

As you know, it does the photographers good to receive even one vote for their picture. But you do have to be logged in to cast your vote and show your appreciation .

19 voters so far and a couple of days to go.

Please log in, check out the magnificent photos, and cast your ballot for your three favourites.

A vote cast is a vote of appreciation and love for our beloved QE2 !

Iv been saying that for years , others are happy to post on the other social networks out there and you see or appear to see nothing of them on here . They are, as  they say on the other side.  There are several QE2 sites on Facebook and all have various members posting on a very regular basis, what stops them posting on here ?
I do often wonder what a newbie must make of here, theres a vast vast wealth of posts on here, just where do they start. 

Look at the numbers who attended the conference,They must have seen or read about the forum somewhere l would have really imagined things would have increased since then, but alas it seems not to be the case.   I have no idea what the solutuion is , other than Carry on QE2ing on here  .

That's a very good question especially since it is far easier to search for past posts, photos, details etc on a forum than it is on Facebook or similar.  A forum layout with categories and threads is also vastly easier to navigate.

20 voters and a few more hours to go.  Please cast your ballot and enjoy some quality time with our QE2 !
