Sorry, I am a newbie here so...
I'm trying to find an overview of the rules regarding themes. Like when is the new theme posted and how much time do you have to make a picture, who makes them up and how do you participate.
I'm fairly new two, but it seems to me that a new theme starts on a Sunday and runs for 7 days. If you look in the theme thing here, the new theme has its own topic and gives the instructions on how to enter (by tagging your photo with a certain thing). Then after that week, everyone gets to vote for the best of the top 5 for a week, then that person chooses the next theme. But another new theme has started while the voting's going on. Does that help at all?
The themes are optional - somebody decides "hey, this would be fun!" and posts it on the discussions, then other people either go "yeah, it would!" or "don't be silly!" and they talk about it for a bit, and then all the people who thought it would be fun, decide when and how they're going to do it...
The weekly themes are a little bit more organized than Kit put it :)
The new theme is posted on Sunday and it starts the next day (Monday) and goes till the following Sunday. All information about dates and tags is listed on the new theme announcement. The next day (Monday) after the theme has finished the top 5 photos go up for voting. Voting closes on Friday. Anyone can vote too, it is not limited to the people who entered a photo.
The weekly themes were started as just a fun little extra thing to do. It is completely up to you whether you participate in the weekly theme or not.
Concerning the "roybgiv" theme, I think people are planning to start RED on Sunday, which it needs to be, for the color Green to fall on St. Patricks Day. Is that okay to start on Sunday? I'm new here too.
I have a question...I tagged my photo theme-green and when I went to browse the entries my 2 photos didn't show up...
Do you have to be an Ace member to participate?

It's the "colours theme" or "alphabet challenge" or "numbers project" or whatever that is just decided on by a community...!
