Please use a working email when you submit pictures

(And then actually check that email.) This isn’t directed at anyone specific, but if you think I’m talking about you, I might be, partly. Fairly often I get submissions, especially from new contributors, and either there’s some kind of problem or I just want to ask a question about it, e.g. to make sure I understand what’s happening so I can tag it right. That’s the only reason I ask for an email address. Anyway, when I contact one of those people with a question, or to point out a problem that could be fixed, all too often I never hear from them again. Or I might even get the same or similar submission again, with the same problem.

So, please don’t do that. If you really don’t have any email address you’re comfortable sharing with a naughty blog, then please at least use something like [email protected] so I know not to bother.

Now I don’t know for sure it’s because the email address is a dud, that just seems like the most likely explanation. If you’ve submitted something, and neither saw it posted nor heard back from me, but you did give me a working email, then please get in touch. It’s always possible there are still some technical problem. Gosh I hope not, but if there is, I want to know. You can either use the contact form or comment here.
