Hello Francine, There have been some changes and you can read about them at the forum post here. Additionally, you can always navigate to the website and make changes that way instead of following a link in an email if you're ever uncertain. Thank you and best regards!

An Image is Worth a thousand words – and sometimes it can be worth L$5000, too! Out with the old and in with the new – show off your dramatic Second Life makeovers with a before-and-after picture that highlights a new look you will be rocking this year in Second Life. There will be one grand prize winner (L$5000) and three runners-up (L$1000 each). Think of all the shopping you can do with that kind of allowance! For all the details on prizes and how to enter, please read the "New Year, New You!" Picture Contest Wiki page. We’re excited to bring this new contest feature to the Second Life community, and we hope you enjoy it! How to participate: Take a before and after image of your virtual makeover and upload it on the contest page. It’s as easy as taking your before snapshot and placing it on a prim, then stand in front of it with your new look and taking another snapshot, or stitching together two images – one of you before your Second Life makeover, and one after. Save the image to your computer so you can upload your submission for the contest. How to vote: Entries will be posted from Jan. 11 through Jan. 18, 2012. You can vote at any time for your favorite, but you only get one vote. To vote for your favorite, simply hit the Kudo button on the page of your choice. For some tips on how to take good pictures in Second Life, take a look at the Knowledge Base article. Good Luck! May the best “New You” win!
