Try a screenshot of your pictures before posting(hit the crop button to get rid of the extra boarders that a screenshot gives). It's the only way I've been able to fit the forum size requirements from my phone.

My vote is in!  I couldn't decide, so my daughter picked it.  She struggled with the choice as well.

 Thank you!
It's an honer and thanks to all who voted for it!

 BTW; I noticed that the thread for previous BOTM and BOTY haven't been updated since about 2012, or was the data lost after that date for some reason?
