1) I've noticed that sometimes it says "5" when it is 4.x (four point something). Not sure why, but no, you can't get a pic back up to a perfect 5 (except by deleting a lower score that you yourself may have given your pic. Showcase is by vote ( 5 > 4 etc) first, then by number of votes (35 5 votes comes before 30 5 votes) and in the event of a tie between the vote and the number of votes ( both 5, both 35 votes), then the first one drawn comes first. |

your own vote does not count |

They could do it chronologically -- I think they like featuring the relatively "popular" pics upfront, even recognizing that some popular pics get bumped to the middle of the showcase. |

I should have said your own vote does not count for top 5 -- it gets ignored -- but it does count for the showcase rankings. |

Yep.. like five said.. as I understand it, if a picture has an overall rating of 5 (10 votes), it will beat a picture with an overall rating of 4.95 and 50 votes - figure that out ! |

Sorry to correct Marg but a pic can make it into the Top 5 even if it has been down voted a little -- if it has enough total votes -- it's not just the overall rating for Top 5. TD applies a formula, as I noted before, that does using the total number of votes in the weighting. (okay, so if you have two pics with 30 votes, and only one of them gets pushed down from a perfect 5, the number of votes is not going to matter, but if a pic has 50 votes and gets pushed down from a perfect 5, it'll probably still get Top 5 compared to a pic with 30 votes and a perfect 5 rating) |

It is wrong to assume that someone who gives a one vote is stupid or malicious. It could be a sincere form of personal assessment of the art, or perhaps a child voting. |

it seems to be a "split" system of voting. |

Did I misunderstand Rachel? I thought she said that the Top 5 could / would be chosen by us. I must have misunderstood her, but I can't find her comments. Can anyone throw a light on the subject? |

I've found the comment from Rachel that I was referring to. I did misunderstand it and, having read it again, I just don't understand the reference to Top 5. Can anyone interpret it for me ... I know I'm being dumb but it's way past my bedtime. |
