When we deployed the new slideshow in challenges we promised to add more features in the future, today we have rolled some of these out, the most significant of which is voting. When you open a slideshow you will see the same five starts as on the regular challenge pages:
You can vote using mouse and as well keyboard (up and down arrows). This is especially convenient if are viewing the slideshow in full screen mode without the top and bottom strips: left arrow for previous image, right arrow for the next one and up and down for voting.
Along with the voting interface, we also made the slideshow title and the entry title clickable. They take you to the corresponding challenge page and the entry, respectively.
We still consider it beta: new bugs may still appear and we to plan some more features soon.
Enjoy!
For me, this just doesn't work as stated above. When viewing in the Slideshow mode, regardless of full screen (F11) or not, my up/down/right/left arrow keys do nothing - they have no effect when pressed.
Furthermore, voting in the Slideshow mode is intermittent - sometimes it works OK, sometimes it only records my first vote and then records nothing after the first vote. It's very annoying to vote for 50 or so entries only to discover that only the first vote was recorded. For this reason, I've stopped voting in the Slideshow mode.
I used Windows XP Pro & Firefox.
