Looks like you have 1 new message. :)

Yep, that's an artifact of the drupal framework. It is prompted for new notifications each time the browser sends a query to the server. When uploading stuff, the browser is sending multiple queries per minute for file upload progress.

"what's my upload progrss?"

"12%"

"how about now?"

"14% oh, and there's a new message for this user"

"cool, and now?"

"16%... and there's still a new message for this user"

It doesn't do any damage or have any negative consequences besides an annoying wall of notifications. It's unlikely to be fixed soon, though. :/

Ok. Unless we want to extend the voting period, it looks like "Lost in Time" is the next challenge theme.

• 2 Hard Times
• 1 Return of Life
• 1 Gadgets
• 1 Good Night
• 1 Sweet Dreams
• 3 Lost in Time

 I'm assuming we want 2 weeks for submissions followed by 1 week of voting via favorites? Should it start monday the 9th or should we start a bit later to let the word get out? 

No. Just a pretend problem. 

I'm saying: Are you negative-voting for "Hard Times" as OGA's next art challenge theme? As in, current vote tally:

• 1 Hard Times
• 1 Return of Life
• 1 Gadgets
• 1 Good Night
• 1 Sweet Dreams
• 3 Lost in Time
