The PM lines have now opened for Category 3: Thread We Learnt Most From. You can PM me with up to five votes, as to what thread(s) you think you've learnt most from. When you cast your PM votes, please state the thread name and the person who started the topic please. Remember to rank your nominees if you're voting for more than one person; 1 being the highest and 5 being the lowest, so I know how many points to give them. Also, you can't vote for yourself. EDIT: I'll let you off for this category only to vote for yourself as everyone is struggling to make their decision(s) .

I will not answer any PMs if I do not need to (as this just fills up the other person's inbox), but I will provide a list on this post to say who has PMed me, so you know if your vote(s) have been counted.

The PM votes will close on Sunday 23rd July at 2130 BST*, which is when I will publish the poll for this category for the top 5 votes, and open the PMing votes for the next category: Most Useful Poster (remember PM votes go to violin-ann for the next category).

*I cannot guarantee that I can publish the poll at exactly 2130, as I will be on holiday, and am not sure how much access I will get to the computer. I'll try to publish the poll as close to the time as possible. The poll will close the week after whenever I get to publish it.

Hope to hear from you soon!

Was there a thread about not putting prepositions at the end of sentences?

Can someone please give some examples of threads? There have been so many since last year that I cant actually think..

I'll see what I can find.

Don't forget the notorious 'Results' thread by who was then GCBS.

.........!

http://forums.abrsm.org/index.php?showtopi...poster+syndrome is another good one.

I think that you'll have to repost your list of people that have sent you PMs for this category CE, as you can't access the top post here any more.

Yes, true. I'll repost it when the next person PMs me with their votes.

Car Expert

Don't worry about it - everyone is in the same boat; the problems are in the process of being fixed.
