Are my maths failing me - since when did 10 members x 3votes = 22 votes cast?

I assumed that voting for your 3 favourites meant a more even and fair spreading of the votes and everyone wouldn't just be voting for themselves. It appears that the vote for 3 rule is open to interpretation!

Yes, I've noticed that not everyone uses all three votes.

There might be any number of reasons why this is so.

By default it is "Vote for up to three".

Allowing three votes does lead to a fairer poll.

There is no way to enforce using all three possible votes.

(The majority of forum members use zero out of three possible.) :)

I think the current setup is somewhat less than perfect,

but adequate and probably the best we can reasonably effect.

Heatstroke, my thoughts exactly! I am so happy that everyone got a place. The entries were just fabulous! Well done to all!

Dug, in the past we only voted for one. Guess some still only vote for 1? My maths isn't that great :roll: Good to see A new member doing so well. Your image was most unusual & interesting. Hope you open a gallery soon B):cookie:
