Ok, to be fair, I may be a little rusty at this, but I took a picture today for the POV challenge and the site is telling me the date is outside the challenge dates?

There is a known glitch in the system which rejects photos dated close to the deadline.

I just enter the previous day and put the actual date in the photographer's comment section.

If the photo needs to be validated we use the date(s) in the EXIF data of the original -- what you put on the challenge entry page doesn't matter.

And welcome back!
