:(

Maybe a bug in the LT widget. I will investigate.

In the meantime, Votes can be posted here or messaged to me. I'll count them all up.

Hello all,
I'm looking into setting up a poll on another website. If you can hold off on voting for the moment, I'll be posting a link here soon.

How many votes should we cast? I voted for my top three choices - is that ok or should I only vote for one?

>26 DeltaQueen50: I think that voters can do as they wish, keeping in mind that in the past we have usually ended up with about 3 CATs. I set it up so that multiple votes are possible, and it looks like so far voters are voting for several.

It's interesting to see how the results change daily. I voted, but I really don't mind which CATs are chosen because I've always been happy with whatever we choose.
