Not being notified of contest wins
-
Today I found out about 3 different contest wins only when someone congratulated me; so I checked back to see if I could possibly have missed the notifications, but there is no sign of them. Anyone else having this problem?
-
Yes. Sometime I do not know until someone comments on one of my sets to congratulate me. Also I had to create a collection to put my sets that win into, in order for me to keep up with which sets have won. Though when I look back at them, I can't always remember what contest they won in. If there's a way to see all of your winning sets together & which contest & or place that they took, please let me know.

I thought it was just me, being that I am very distracted right now and trying to play catch-up on UrStyle. Yes, I think there's a delay right now.
-
I find it difficult to keep up with any contest wins too, if I don’t check my notifications it’s easy to miss
-
Yes, there is a delay and I have trouble finding the contest winners.
-
Yes, it would be good if each set had a list of contest wins like on Polyvore!! I put the wins into a collection and i did start to list the at the top... but the list got so long I abandoned it!!! 🤪

Omg, Y E S!!! A notification does pop up if you’re on line when the contest finishes, but if you’re not, it goes away and you don’t know. I feel bad when I win a contest and don’t thank the moderator who has taken the time to put together the contest and judge it. For my contests, I’ve been trying to use a congrats set AND directly messaging winners to get around this, but this is going to be difficult over the next few months as I’ll be traveling a bunch!

@fassionista Gosh... is that what happens???? That's not really satisfactory!!!🤨

@Fassionista Thanks so much for telling us this. I am like many others and only see notifications when I get a message about the contest or someone congratulates me. I really miss the page like on Polyvore that documented our wins. It was a great basic feature to have. I've learned a lot in the last 10 days between this and @debraelizabeth explaining in another thread how entering old sets works.
At the top of the page when the tab opens to show choices in Topics, Group and Blog Post there should be another tab for How things Work. Many users are dealing with the same issues but won't see these replies to questions on stuff that is helpful to know. It would cut down on so much confusion and frustration. There appears to sometimes be a consensus that when something doesn't work for you, you feel you are doing it wrong until someone is willing to talk about it.

I don't think all the groups announce their wins! I don't even get reminders from all my groups about contests that are going on, I get more reminders from groups I'm not a member of then SOME of the ones I'm in. Not yours @auntiehelen @FunkyJunkyGypsy and @artgivesmelife and a couple of others do great.
