SourceForge lists "Best Overall" as a category, but does not allow you to select it.   Angry  Cry

If you read the cat descriptions, without a Best Overall, YaBB would only be eligible for maybe 3 of the cats, since it's not a system tool, not new, and isn't really business or academic focused.

It lets you select best overall - Best Project.   I did it earlier.

Here are the choices I see in the pic list:


Best New Project
Best Commercial OS project
Best Tool for SysAdmins
Best Tool for Devs
Best Project for the Enterprise
Best Project for Gamers
Best Project for Multimedia
Best Project for Government
Most Likely to change the way I do everything

BUT, if you click the category description link to the right of the pick list, it also includes

Best Overall Project
Best Design
Best Academia

There is no way to chose any of those other three.  They aren't in the pick list.

I notice if you click "Nominate another project" they show up in the list with the project name/url blank.  So I'm wondering if it's just something with this project that isn't giving the full list?

You are right OH Eng. If I enter YaBB in the filed "Nominate another project" the options:

Best Project
....

are taken out of the list!? Huh

Edited:
Corey, can you add a target="_blank" into the link-tag of the image on the top, to keep the YaBB window/tab open?

Maybe it only allows one nomination per category?  But that wouldn't make sense. I chose best project already.

I'm not sure if this is per person or overall:
Quote:
3.You can’t nominate the same project for the same category more than once.
4.You can’t vote more than once in each category.


Target added to link.

They said there was a bug too that was just fixed in the voting process.  You should see all choices logged in or not (unless you've already voted for them).

Add ME!

LOL

And I am adding the button & script to my Forums.

I think that would be a great thing to promote among Yabb Admins.

thanks to all the others on the team and all those Yabb'ers

I hope this is not a stupid question (and I know it is...) - which link should I put at the nomination page- I put yabbforum.com, but then it offers to add a button...I totally don't get it.

It needs the sourceforge project URL.  Use the link in the first post of this topic to do it for you:  http://sourceforge.net/community/cca09/nominate/?hash=95a9a201b02a8f36099f049a63...

I originally was using http://sourceforge.net/community/cca09/nominate/?project_name=Yet another Bulletin Board&project_url=http://sourceforge.net/projects/yabb/ per their instructions and they later emailed me the other URL, so honestly I'm not sure if it matters or not.
