F.A.Q.
I tagged an image just before voting started and it didnt get included - why?
Flickr presents data in two ways. One is via the flickr website www.flickr.com - the other is via the flickr API. Updates to tagging (seems to be worst for changing tags on existing images but can affect other things) seem to be reflected in searches via the website almost instantly - but can take up to 15 minutes to appear via the flickr API. There is little we can do about this other than to recommend that you make sure youre ready at least 15 minutes before voting opens.
I cant see why - my images just dont turn up
Weve had one instance of this - and it turns out that if you set up a new account - until you have at least 5 images then your images simply will not be included in search results. Send the admin group a mail and well make sure your image is added.
