comments on the new system Jun 4, 2008

Is it possible in future contest for the dislike tags to put "Other" first and by default? I think it's used the most often.
I wonder also if the URL field is really necessary in all the tags. A comment field would be appreciated. I would appreciate also the number of characters for the comment field to be increased.

And is it possible to skip the "close this window" dialog? When you look through 20 variants with a lot of comments on every entry, it's not fun to click tens of ... See more

We don't want much do we?

Number of entries should be limited Jun 24, 2008

I did some marking in the first round in the Spanish>English section, but found it very hard work going through the something like 32 entries. I couldn't do them all at once and came back to them according as I found time. But the round was over before I could finish grading, which meant that some entries didn't get my vote, quite simply because I hadn't read them.
