It is not the only incosistency there. At some point (e.g. if you forgot
to choose the filename), the script shows you an error with something like
that: "either you forgot to choose the file, or it is larger than 5 MB",
while the first submission page informs about 4 MB file size limit.
BTW, if you are going back from that error page, you are loosing "submit"
button, and the only cure for that is to reload the page.
(Fortunately, in my case, after page reloaded, the field entries were
preserved, - I am not sure if it was done by the page, or by my Firefox.)
I am also not quite sure where "Comments" go, but it might be just me.

Would there be any way that the submission page could keep the relevant
entered information; name, email, etc. when submitting multiple photos?
That's a good suggestion.
Better yet, maybe (up to) three images could be submitted on one page.
What I've done (and IIRC, I've been doing that for the past several years)
is I hit "Back" in the browser, then change the fields, and submit
again. But this year, going "back" results in the "submit" button
disappearing. So, I had to hit browser's "reload" (Ctrl-R or F5, or that
"reload" icon) each time. Fortunately, my entries were preserved after the
pages was reloading.
But to be fair to Mark (and despite my somewhat grumpy-sounding comment),
Mark does a very reasonable job with this submission page.
Somehow submission forms are almost always a problem. For years, I've been
submitting abstracts to conferences, grant applications, governmental
forms, etc. And almost always, there are some bugs and inconsistencies in
those. So, for the form that is used by only about 40-60 people and only
once a year, and which for the most part works well enough, -- it is hard
to justify spending much time on tweaking this form (or even finding the
motivation to do that).
Cheers,
Igor
