I'm trying. I'm really, really trying. BUT the awards forum is locked so we cannot post there to ask questions and I'm having to hunt all over the place to find discussion on the topic.

My questions are: what does the following mean and do you really expect us to do this?

OK heres the nominations, Please keep all nominations to less the 50 words each also after you post you nomination plz go back and locate its place in the thread and edit the post to contain the number = to its position in the thread. place this number in the upper right corner of the post so the chain can be verified Moderators: None

maggie <----talking to herself........Patience is a virtue. Patience is a virtue. Patience is a virtue.

I may be wrong but i think that relates to if you delete your nomination then rewrite it go back and say..oh btw i was number 3 because the admin log may show you nomunated twice.

It is a general instruction just below the topic and doesn't refer to deleted posts. Here it is again with the topic so you can find it.

The 9th Annual Trade Wars 2006 Awards

Didnt make any sense to me either.

I think it was something zentock had planned to use, yet could not incorporate into these forums. Just forgot to delete that bit before posting.

I had intened for the poster to place a number in the upper right corner that would coralate with the posts position in the thread. then say we see the 5th and the 7th posts it a topic then we would know the 6th was missing.
But since we couldnt be sure a poster would see the 5th and NOT put in the 7th just to create an issue we decided to let it go and it was not erased also as i was concerned that erasing the topic header might cause soom issue with the nomination process.
I am sorry for that confusion, but i had worked for many days on all this and didnt want to risk it.

And yes that area is locked to any new topics to keep it just nomination topics only.
If you have a question plz use the general discussions main area and be sure u post subject says "concerning the 06 awards" someone will answer it in short order.
Thank You.
