3. Can I give several chips to one photo?
The 5 chips you get should be distributed to 5 different photos. You are no longer allowed to go back to the photos you've been giving chips to earlier and give them new chips - this will disqualify the photo you've doubly honored.

4. Do I have to comment on a specific photo? (Like some groups were you for example have to comment on the picture posted before your own)

8. I have put my picture in the Hand thread for 2-4 chips, but now it has 5, what do I do?
You can delete your picture from the first thread and then post it in the next. Altough it is not considered breaking any rules if you dont delete it from the first thread, it is a good thing to do.

9. Do I have to put my pictures in the Hand threads?
No, you dont have to. But it is a good way for others and yourself to organize the pictures.

10. How do I post my picture in a thread?
You go to your picture and press "All sizes" above it. There you press "Small" and you will get a small version of your pictures. Below the small version, there is a html-code. Copy that and post it in the right thread.

No. You can only give chips to pictures posted in the Flickr Poker group.

12. Can I post any picture I want?
This is a game for all ages, so be civil and dont post pictures that can be offensive. Other then that, all is allowed.

13. Do I have to hand out all my 5 chips?
When you have posted your picture, you get 5 chips that you must hand out. That is the rules of the game. If you feel that you dont have time to comment 5 pictures, you should not participate in the game.

14. How does this thing with tags works?
You can, if you want to, tag your picture with the hand you get from the number of chips.
