I keep filling in all spaces and keep getting message to fill in. What is going on here?????????????????/
Hi Elizabeth, thank you for getting in touch. The form definitely works as I can see the other submissions coming in. Perhaps theres’s just something small missing. Maybe send me a screenshot of what you see so I can take a look? You can either attach it here or mail me on michelle@orms.co.za. Regards, Michelle
“submited”???
I have submitted 2 photos but have no idea whether they have been received…..help please..than you!
Hi George, indeed they have been received! Thank you.
I’m having the same problem as Elizabeth. When I hit ‘submit’, it just takes me back to the form with instructions to submit again.
Ok, please email me a screenshot of what you see. If the submission doesn’t go through it means something is wrong, either the images are to big, or you’ve left info out, or didn’t tick a box – something. The form works because I can see the other submissions streaming in. Please email me a screenshot to michelle@orms.co.za. Regards, Michelle
Please advise if there is an alternative way to submit, because this way doesn’t work for me…
Hi, please see my reply below. Regards, Michelle
hi there, I’ve sent 2 photos, but not sure that it went through. Can you please confirm receipt and that it complies appropriately.
thanks
Hi Klaus, yes I’ve received your images perfectly. Thank you for submitting! Regards, Michelle
Hi Michelle, submitted 4 x 2 images, not sure they went through?
Hi Dixon, under what name / email address did you submit? I need something so I can check. Regards, Michelle
Thx Michelle, I submitted under the name Dixon Norval and email – dixonnorval@yahoo.com
My concern is that it only allowed a “send email” link and no submit “button”. I did include the link to the photos in each submission (4×2).
Regards
Dixon
Hello Dixon, I don’t seem to find your submissions. Did you say you provided a link to the images? You didn’t actually upload the images to the form? That might be the problem, if your submission is successful the form will disappear and it will say thank you for your submission. The form works because I keep getting submissions in, but if you are seeing something different please email me a screenshot to michelle@orms.co.za and we’ll take it from there. Regards, Michelle
THX Michelle, will retry and see how I can upload the images.
Regards
Hi Michelle, finally succeeded in uploading my 4×2 entries (Dixon Norval). kindly confirm that it went through.

Dixon
