Both #12 and #2 have 9 votes, tying them as runners-up. Shouldn't the time be split between the two?

Really, it did. Someone must have retracted their vote after the poll was locked....  Anyone have any ideas what happened? |

When the poll has been locked, no one (including staff) can retract their vote. In this case, someone altered their vote during the seconds from the time you had opened the thread and had the chance to click "Lock Poll". ProBoards does not continuously update itself live, it only does so when you need to reload information (ie: opening a thread, refreshing, etc.). February was your month for Flagship, so you should have the final say... |

I would do this: 12 - NorEx / NorAd / DIF / Taku FEB 01 - FEB 09 2 - NorAd / Matanuska FEB 10 - FEB 18 10 - QPR / Taku FEB 19 - FEB 28 |

I agree with FNS. One third of the month to each sounds good.

I'm happy staying with the 2 announced banners for February, each with 1/2 a month.
Unless someone wants to come forward and explain their reasons for their literal last-second vote retraction, I'm content to stay with the results as they appeared for Monday evening, up to that unusual occurence.

Alas, but I am the culprit!
At the last moment I decided to have a second look at all the contributions. I narrowed down my choices to #'s 1,7,8,10,11,12, &13. Then I narrowed down the field further leaving a choice of #'s 7, 8 & 13. I have made it a habit not to vote exclusively for my own, but always to submit at least one vote for someone else's pic. So I was going to go with my final choices being#'s 7 & 13. I then clicked on retract vote (just after the clock had past 2000) which yielded a refreshed page displaying the winners. The retraction of my original votes meant one less vote for Mr. Fluge's 3 company entry, and also one of my own (#8, I think).
My feeling is that we should stay with the count as Mr. Fluge saw it last night at ~8:00 PM PST, ie 8 o'clock Vancouver Island time. Go with half the month using the current header, and the other half with the QPR - Taku header.
PS: I am not crazy about the text that I placed on that QPR - Taku photo. How do members feel about me cleaning that up as opposed to leaving it the way it is now?

I'm thinking that there might be something fishy about the next month's contest...... ;D - (If my hunch is correct, this post will make sense in a couple of days......) |

Anyone have any ideas what happened?
