Because you have the Mac-Forums Premium Membership...you're probably running the "ad-free skin". If you want to see the banner...go to:

- your profile page
- select "edit details"
- near the bottom of this page there's the "Miscellaneous Options"..."Forum Skin"...choose "use forum default"
- click on "save changes"
- then reload Mac-Forums

...you should now see the banner.

Seventy votes cast and hopefully no one cheat the system here. But that is an awesome number. Well done for making the MotM really popular.
Yes it's just a little fun aside from the main purpose of these forums. But it's a nice little bit of fun.

Hard choice to make, so I went the logical route and voted for the current underdog. All fine members.

Most months for me I have no trouble choosing who to vote for. It's like one member stands well out ahead of the others in my opinion. So makes it an easy choice for me. This stand out (in my opinion) member does not always win but always gets my vote.

You can't cheat the system, it only allows one vote per member.

Actually, the MoTM is part of the main purpose of these forums. We're here to create a welcoming community of people to talk about their Apple products. The MoTM is a great way to recognize those people who help make this place exactly what it is we're here to be.

I'm talking about multiple accounts from the same IP. But I'm sure it's all fair :).

And I see your point about the MotM. I don't see it the same way as you do. But that's ok. As long as it serves it's purpose it's all good.

I'm not sure someone will find it's worth the effort to do such a thing. Instead, I think it's fair to recognize the concerted effort of the those who have tried to spread the word. The banner and the high visibility of links in members signatures are a more likely cause of increased participation.

Only 40 minutes left! Keep those votes coming!

Congrats Razor!! I don't know what all this nonsense was about some banner - clearly it was the candidacy that generated the unprecedented interest. :)

Thanks everyone. I guess all the extra accounts I set up worked. ;)

Kidding aside, thanks for the honor.
