So, a lot of you are confused about how to actually use these shiny new submissions limits! Here are some examples that should help you sort out what to do to get your limits sorted the way you want them to be...

Submission limits are found in the "Manage members" settings, under "On Gallery" or "On Favourites". (You can limit both gallery and favourites and the settings are completely independent.)

I want to limit my members to 3 submissions per week in total, whatever folders they put them in
Choose "3 per week" from the dropdown next to "Featured" and then make sure all other folders are set to "Global Setting".

I want my members to be able to submit 2 a day to each folder
Click on "show all folders" then select "2 per day" for every folder.

I want my members to be able to submit as many deviations as they like, but only one a month to the featured folder
Choose "1 per month" from the featured dropdown and set all the other folders to "unlimited". (Technical part: one per month will then be your global setting but the other folders will override it.)

I want my members to be able to submit 10 a week but only 1 a month to the Contest Folder
From the featured dropdown select "10 per week". Then set Contest Folder to "1 a month" and all other folders to follow the "global setting". (Your Contest Folder submission won't count towards the 10-a-week limit.)

I want my members to be able to submit 5 a week, to any folder except featured, where they can't submit
Choose "5 per week" from the dropdown next to "Featured", select "not allowed" for submissions to featured and then make sure all other folders are set to "Global Setting".

I don't want a submission limit!
The default setting should be no limit ^^; ... but perhaps you had a limit and you want to take it off. Just select "Unlimited" from the dropdown next to "featured" and then make sure all other folders have "global limit" selected.
