March and April POTM both go to...

I would just like to thank all the women i've ever known who have contributed to my bitterness towards them and of course to Submeg for posting a picture of himself for us all to ridicule.

There you go Benitez, Mourhinio, Ferguson and the rest.
That's how to give gracious praise when you win something.

Well done old chap.

Congrats Buleste

I should have known some of my influence would rub off on you.

No, in all seriousness, congrats on two very funny and well-timed posts.

Now, it's time for me to get my crown back...

I challenge you to the CA.COM World Comedy Championship belt!!!

May the best comedian win...

Let me just get back into society again so i can store up some more bitterness and then you're on.

May I ask how to view the topics which contained the two winning posts? It's just difficult to make full sense of what the said posts mean without reading the rest of it.

Certainly. In Harrison's announcement post click on the "with this Post" link and from that popup, click Thread: A sad day in the top-right hand corner.

Alternatively you could click the little next to TiredOfLife's username in Harrison's announcement post. That would take you to the right position in the thread.

Alternatively you could click on the "with this Post" link in the annoucement, and change the url of the pop-up window from http://forum.classicamiga.com/showpost.php?p=21885 to http://forum.classicamiga.com/showthread.php?p=21885

Alternatively you could pick an word from the quote (or couple of words) that's likely not to appear in many threads (I chose 'goatee' but 'dress' or 'girlfriend' would probably do just as good on a place like ClassicAmiga) and click Search on the bar near the top of the page. Now either type the chosen word or cut-and-paste it and click Go. There we go, two threads one of which is this one, so the other must be the original.

If you think that is hard, imagine how hard it is for me to piece together all the bits at the end of each poster of the month competition!

1. Check the month to make sure no one voted for themselves!
2. Move any from the wrong month, into their correct month.
3. See which post has the most votes and is the winner.
4. Start new announcement thread to announce the winner.
5. Copy the winning quote location into the link in the thread.
6. Copy the winning post location into the link in the thread.
7. Log into the Admin Panel
8. Search for existing POTM members and remove that group from their account.
9. Add the POTM usergroup to the new winner's account.
10. Switch the display usergroup for that member over to POTM so their username changes colour.
11. Setup and send a new award to the winning member.
12. Switch the default quote month to the new month, adding the new month to the quote categories if needed.
13. Switch the forum link to the quotes page so it goes to the correct current month.
14. Send the member their 5000 credits award from the admin panel.

I think that is about it. Very easy to miss something out during all that.

How conceited would one have to be to vote for themselfs ?

< <.... > >.... no one saw anything right?!

[Harrison]

You would be surprised!
