Dang it  :banghead:

Fixed it.

The other link is the one to the old I voted badge that I linked to in the Urgent request for an updated banner since I can't reach Logan.

Just shows I am getting too old to be trying to do stuff till 1:30 in the morning.  Took me three and a half hours to update the polls with the leaders and add the pictures.

Phil, any chance of posting the results from the first round if you get a chance.

I didn`t progress to the final rounds but I have a morbid curiosity as to how close I did or didn`t get? :thumbsup:

Voted in all categories but it was much harder picking just one in each!

Looks like I may not have to wait until Saturday to close the voting as there hasn't been much activity this week.

Jet and Alternate Markings have had the most voters with 51 each.
Then drops to 48 in the Diorama category.
Figures is still the lowest with 15 less voters than the Jet and Alt categories.  Auto is next lowest at 37.

A quick look shows only 3 categories have solid leaders.  The rest are still up in the air (as they say) and the Whiffie could change with as little as 1 vote.

So, for those who have voted in all categories, thank-you.  For those who only voted in some, please check out the others.  And for those who havent voted at all (which looks like about 95% of the total forum members), please take some time and vote.  If we got another 50 people to play, those 3 solid leaders wouldn't necessarily be there at the end.

Also, I have done a little promoting this year on other forums (especially those that ran What if GBs last year) and there has been a little increased traffic due to this (560 additional hits on the 2008 awards thread and 504 on the 2009 thread).  Not sure if it has generated any new members but I hope so.

Thanks again for your support.

thats actually quite a disappointing turnout! would have thought it would have been higher...although understandable once you remove the members who either dont post any more or are just lurkers..............ive done an 'awards' thingy a few times on a non modelling forum..........its always the active main cadre of members who vote

this is only the second time ive participated in this, since i joined the site only just before last years whiffies, i think they are great fun.....great way of revisiting old builds if nothing else

I've voted in most categories but there are some, principally Alt. History, where I don't feel that I can, because there's just no way I'll find the time to read all the entries.
