During the beta test, some months ago, they only changed the rankings once a
day. I still haven't been able to access any images.

Hi All,
Well, just finished a much longer session, almost reaching movie #100 (+30
calibration movies) before getting bumped. I noticed the ranking pool
(1625) never increases, which seems unlikely unless they actually limited
it to this many initial users.
My ranking was bouncing around #12-14 when somehow I missed a "donut"
in one of the test movies, which immediately bumped me to #26. Haven't
missed one since, but I notice the ranking still sometimes ticks higher.
Guess that means that some people are reviewing images faster than I
am.
I have noticed a few oddities in the movies. Sometimes a phantom frame
will appear in the movie sequence -- usually this is a frame from a
different
movie, but occasionally it's someone's photograph! I got a black & white
image of a young Asian couple's wedding reception, a color car ad for
some blue sedan (very pixelated), and a color image of four young ladies --
probably from the same wedding. Amusing bug! --Rob
