I don't know if this is done already and I'm just being a bit thick but is there a forum or link where all the submissions for a particular campaign are available to look at once the campaign is finished? I don't mean the actual pictures but maybe one folder for the campain simply containing links the guys have put up to view their submissions? I would like to compare the different ideas the participants have come up with but find it difficult to trawl through the forums to find completed work. In the actual campaign folders that are current a lot of the participants don't seem to put links in their campaign profiles but do submit on the forums.

I don't think something like this is available yet, Though I think it would be a be a great feature to be implemented, of course compatibly with the mass of things Jim has to cope with...

Hi Matt, I've been reading the posts in the CCC forum, it's just that they concern proposed campaigns. I was just thinking of maybe a folder for finished campaigns. It could simply list the people who completed the campaign with the link to their entries. Having thought about it I now realise it would be quite a bit of work to gather the individual's diferent links to their pics and get them onto one thread or page, it just seems dificult trying to go through all the posts to see the final entries. They do seem to get scattered sometimes. I know the campaign folders give people a slot to give updates, it's just that they don't seem to use them, and it disapears once the campaign finishes.

I believe there has been some discussions on the subject. Not sure has or will happen.

There are "campaign" groups in most of the major modeling forums. So if people are associating their posts to the campaign group then you just need to click on that group from the forum's main page to see all topics in that group.

Cheers,

A system for this idea already exists...

The original Campaign Journal doesn't disappear. Reference the CWCO Campaign. Today is the deadline. Jim has moved the Journal from the active (Main) Campaign Page, as it should be. From the Main Campaign page, just click on the Armor link. All the previous armor focused campaigns are there - including the CWCO.

When you're awarded a Campaign Ribbon, the Ribbon on your awards page serves as a link right back to the Campaign. What's really important is for entrants to use the Campaign Journal Jim creates. All of the photos and modeling information you put there is what the Ribbon links back to. You've gotta put something there though - don't want a blank page to appear when someone is interested in why you won that Ribbon and clicks on it...

Thanks Gunnie, I guess I WAS being a bit thick, I didn't realise that clicking the campaign category on the lower left of the page also showed PAST campaigns. THAT'S the thing I was getting at in my original post. So I guess it is up to the participants to keep their Journal up to date and complete if they want to show their stuff to later generations. Thanks for putting me right on that one, I bet you could almost hear the penny drop when I read your post and understood what to do
Cheers mate
