Dear ikolam admin,

Can you please send me details on how to upload the rangoli for the contest. I am unable to do so. I went through "create content", but it does not show the rangoli under the gallery.
Can you pl. confirm that you have got my entry.

Thanks
Swathy

Hi Ms.Swathy,
We've received 3 of your entries (1st was published already, and, 2nd and 3rd was uploaded by you today). But, all these are the same images, the last one being "AnnaPakshi in a Pushpaka Vimaanam" (the same bird with a couple of decorated plates placed on the sides). I'm not sure if the last one is for the contest (there is no way we could differentiate it from the usual Diwali rangolis, unless it is mentioned by the users, either in the content, or the title). Please follow the same procedures to upload contest-rangolis.
Try it again please. Smile
Thank you,

Dear Contest participants,
If you had submitted a rangoli, and have not specified if that was meant for the usual display in the site, or for the contest, please do let us know. I had emailed some of you members, but am not having any luck hearing back. So, I'm going to hold back some of the Diwali rangolis and would display them in the contest page (going by my intuition at this stage). I would edit as and when I hear back. Please communicate either by commenting, or by emailing me. Thank you.

Please use the "create content" link seen at the top of the right side menu options. Or, go to the following link, and follow the procedure.
http://www.ikolam.com/node/add/rangoli
It is the same procedure for any rangoli, just make sure to mention "contest" in the contest rangoli submissions. Let me know if you have trouble uploading. Thanks. Smile

Ms.Jayashree, the current picture is what I had seen yesterday, and was wondering why you had wanted to change that, since it looked clear enough. But, now I realize that you couldn't see it because of the your settings. Smile
-----------------
Ms.Nalini V, your ganesh rangoli is their in the queue, would be published in the contest page. Thank you.
-----------------
Ms.Alamelu, or Priya, for old times sake :), don't worry, I got your email, and file, I'll take care of it. thanks.

Ms.Jayashree,
I see two possibilities that might help with your issue; a) please "submit" the page (option seen at the bottom of the page) once you've "deleted" the previous picture, and then attach the new picture. b)check and clear your cache settings.
You might want to read comments on this page which might be of help:

Let me know if these steps don't work, I'll walk you through step by step. Thanks. Smile
---------------------
Mrs.Janaki,
Please re-upload the first one, or point me out to the link if the first one is already published. The problem is, you had uploaded a few of your rangolis made for Diwali, and I can't make out which one is for the contest. They are all beautiful. Smile
---------------------
Ms.Mythili, thank you. Smile

I got it Ms.Hema. Rangolis would be published in the weekend. I am required to spend the day volunteering the whole day today in my kids' schools, helping the teachers with their Halloween party and parade. It is a once in a year thing. Smile
I would get back to work in ikolam tomorrow. Thank you. Smile
