How long does it take to start seeing cars appear in the Photo section for the specific years?
I have had my 83 in the vBGarage for several weeks now, but still, there are NO 1983 Firebirds even in the 1983 section.
I know there must be quit a few more 83s here, that could also be put in there.
Who's in charge of this, and is it alot of work to handle?
Maybe there is more to this, than I can see.
Any help or understanding would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Leon.

If you mean the Picture section, I've been the main person doing them. We only add "best of the best". If your images are too small, or if your vehicle doesn't qualify as "best of the best", then it usually isn't included.

Even if there is no, or little, entries for a given year, we still tend to stick by that guideline otherwise it would be "settling" and that doesn't seem right for the project. We simply go though the submissions and pick out the best, regardless if we have many or few entries for that year.

I do have to add that there might be a few cases where you could have been missed, and that might explain why it wasn't added. I don't do them daily, as sometimes there isn't even material to add daily. Yes, it does take some work as it's not just a point and click project. I generally do them in batches, due to low volume that qualify. Many entires either have too small of a picture, too pixelated of a picture, no picture, or the car itself just doesn't meet the guideline.

One more thing, with it being time for me to do a new batch, but with the TGO server move and with my FTP being broken, there are recent entries that aren't submitted yet, but will be once things are resolved.
