There didn't use to be- It must be a recent proposition, as the last few entries I've submitted I didn't use the format. But being a new requirement, having a starter template posted would be useful for the sake of conformity.

John, There was no need for you to withdraw your fossil from the contest. I've taken care of separating the information for you. And, there is now a template in the rules. 5 hours ago, Jesuslover340 said: There didn't use to be- It must be a recent proposition, as the last few entries I've submitted I didn't use the format.

Really folks, this isn't that hard. It takes roughly 25-30 minutes per contest, to set up the polls, and copy all of the information to the poll page. It is just more helpful and expedient for us, if we can just copy and paste the information as is, rather than having to hunt through a paragraph to find the information, and copy and paste each and every line needed. Thanks so much for your cooperation, and understanding. Please remember, this is supposed to be a fun contest.

Thanks so much for your cooperation, and understanding. Please remember, this is supposed to be a fun contest. Appreciated I just thought it best to post a template moreso for the sake of conformity (i.e., everything being stated in the same order for ease of understanding and fulfilling the requirements/making sure not to forget one). In the case of phone usage, if you don't have a template, you have to consistently scroll to the top or even go back a page to recall what all is required and in what order. That being said, I understand the need for such and endorse it Let the fun commence! P.s.-feel free to delete this message if it has gone off topic too much; just wanted to explain myself. A big thanks to all the mods and all they do to keep the Forum running!
