I posted on the front of the contest. I had seen that you apparently were not getting emails from LT. That showed not have changed, but I also experience the same thing and for month I was not getting messages from LT. You may want to alert admin if that issue still continued.
Also, I believe you may have referenced one of my designs, but I'm not sure since you may have been referring to the numbers by rank rather than actual entry number. For instance, if you refer to #1, the system sees it as the very first entry and not to whomever is currently in first - hope that makes sense. :)
At this point in the contest pretty much everyone except whoever you have in first place is effectively eliminated (we lose the "upload" button and could not enter any new designs or changes. Admin can help you if you need to reopen the TOP 5 phase. Best of luck. :)
