Possible bugs in the recent changes

Josh,
1. I submitted the following image for ratings a day or two ago: http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=11577010 and have received several ratings. Tonight I went back to the image to submit it for critique. That option was not available under the Photo Admin tab. However, the option to request ratings was still available. I clicked on it and was allowed to submit it for ratings again. When I submitted it the second time, the system finally recognized that it had already been submitted for ratings. My guess is that the way you want it to work is once an image has been submitted for ratings, that option should no longer be available under the photo admin tab but that the submit for critique link should still be available (and vice-versa).
2. After submitting another image for ratings, the screen that came up offered me the option of returning to my Recent Posts folder or to request another ratings critique. I clicked on the latter out of curiosity. Up came a screen of 40 or 50 thumbnails of my old images including a bunch of my highest and most frequently rated images. The detail info underneath each image showed that all of the images had been submitted for Critique Only and the data indicated that none of them had ever been rated. One such image was: http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=4060908
I haven't had time to check this any further so I don't know if the ratings for these images have been lost or if there is simply a bug that is mis-categorizing them and not displaying ratings info that is actually available.
Hope this helps smooth out the kinks in a major milestone of PN's ongoing development.

Thanks GJ. The programmers and I will stick our heads together on it.

Also Josh, I was just browsing through Pierre Dumas' portfolio. All of the several hundred images in it are labelled Critique Only. I am almost certain that most the images he has posted over the years have included a ratings request and that he has received thousands of ratings.

All those images you pointed out were submitted for rating before the previous rating system came into play, so I was not able to mark them. I figured out which ones they were based on the photo critique forum submissions and registered them as available for critique, so it should be all good now.
