Catherine, unfortunately I don't think this is really the place for such complaints. Being that it's a completely subjective contest, there's not particularly anything wrong with the result, and the fact that you'd won a few of the subsequent previous contests, perhaps they were trying to give other contestants a chance. When I worked at a private store, we generally did not pick the same person twice in a row, or even every other time, for just that reason.
As for the forum, my biggest two complaints are that old pictures have disappeared, which makes many past threads completely unusable. The other would be the session timeouts, as some of us tend to remain logged on constantly, and check the forum when convenient.
A lot of the rest, I'm sure is simply stuff that will take a bit of time getting used to. The navigation back and forth between forums, particularly from threads, was annoying, but I'm quickly getting the hang of it.
It's confusing for me, and I assume everyone else too. I liked it better the old way you had it before. Can you please change it back?
