w00t! wheres me results!!!!
congrats peeps, great pics!

[cometcatcher (Kevin)]

So hard to only pick 5.

[ving (David)]

aaarrrggghh! this is killing me not being able to see the results!!!!

[asimov (John)]

I suppose one could pick less than 5?

Last month that's what I did anyway. Only voted for 1 actually.. (no, not my own)

[RB (Andrew)]

Man, another hard pick this month.

top entries guys, this is a great section on the forum!!!

Wheres the excitement of seeing your count increase slowly - very slowly - not at all.
It would be good to be able to see the results progress once you have voted.

Yes I agree Chris, now it's just a two second burst when you see the final result. Before the excitment built up for days.......

[iceman (Mike)]

I know, I liked watching it progress too, but you could see the results before you voted, and so it was influencing who voted for who.

[Jonathan]

Is it possible to change it in future so that the results can only be viewed once you've logged on and finished voting? No one can cheat that way, and there's probably a little more incentive for people to enter their votes so they can see who's winning.

[iceman (Mike)]

I'll see what I can do.

[ving (David)]

thanks mike, youre a leg end

i always thought it was like this, ie any poll, you have to vote and then up comes the poll results. although from memory, there was a link to poll results, i think

[Jonathan]

You're right Dave, except the poll results were visible to anyone that's not logged on.
I certainly agree with what Mike's done this month because in past months there's been some really good pictures that hardly got voted for.

[h0ughy (David)]

I like some and disliked others, but the general entries this month offered some thought in the subject. I couldnt decide on an entry, then forgot to enter so my fault. My only wish is that whoever wins the next one, make it an interesting topical one!

[iceman (Mike)]

Well the poll didn't close automatically like it should've at 7am this morning - must be a "quirk" with the new hack I put in to hide the results.

So I closed the poll to reveal the results!

Anyway, asimov (mr bug) wins with his great ant picture!

You get to pick the next subject John, what be it?

[asimov (John)]

EEEK! About the first time I've won any sort of comp I reckon. Great job to all who entered, really nice pics guys!

As to what be the next subject!? Geez, can I have a couple of hours to dwell on it?

[RB (Andrew)]

Congrats John.

[asimov (John)]

Thanks Andrew!

I do LOVE my macro photography...perhaps we should have a part 2! 'even more up close & personal' macro shots!!! Just joking guys.
