For the past week, we've been holding a fun activity where members associated images in the forums with plants in the database. It was wildly successful. Open to find out more.

From the time we announced the activity through now, we had a total of 2,583 forum images associated with plants in the database. I'm amazed at how many there were!

In addition to the benefit to the forums, this contest also promoted the whole concept of associating forum images with database entries. It spurred the creation of the preference option that lets members disable this for their own photos, and it educated the membership about how this whole thing works. A true win all the way around.

The winners of this contest were:

First place: @jmorth with a whopping 1,287 associations!
Second place: @blue23rose with 205
Third place: @robertduval14 with 197

We had a good number of members place quite nicely, including @vic, @Claudia, @Lilydaydreamer, @greene, @LizinElizabeth, @CarolineScott, @bitbit, @LynneHTx, @plantladylin, @froggiesgirl, @luvsgrtdanes, @SCButtercup, @Cem9165, @goldfinch4, @dirtdorphins, @enidcandles, @Dutchlady1, and @wildflowers.

Congratulations, and a special thank you to @zuzu for hosting this contest and providing the acorn prizes! The various moderators of the database, along with the 5 Plants Admins also deserve huge thanks for checking and handling each and every proposal that came in. Thank you all! This kind of thing is why ATP is so much fun!! Hurray!
