At the eleventh hour we have discovered that some people have been having their patience tested beyond reason by an occasional problem with our spam prevention methods employed on the nomination form.

In some cases where the characters presented via captcha are not clear, e.g. when what appears to be a little 's' is in fact a big 'S', an incorrect entry results in all the data entered being wiped out. This the requires the user to re-enter everything over again.

Big frustration!!!  Shocked We're really sorry about this and are working to fix it.

In the meantime we have extended the deadline (TBA) and recommend that those taking advantage of this extended nomination time prepare their nomination first using a text editor then use copy and paste to make their submission with the existing form. This way if the spam preventer does eat your submission you can easily re-submit.

Thanks for your patience and keep nominating!!!

Ok, more grovelling apologies to those who had problems with our awards nomination form.

We've now decided to remove any form of spam prevention in the belief that Vi8gr* will not win anything.

To make up for all the frustration and also for those who may wish to re-submit we have reset the deadline to September 10th.

A mailing will go out shortly just to let everybody know.

If you did submit something before please check with me via graham (at) handheldlearning.co.uk and I will make sure we received the nomination.

Once again apologies to all those who had problems and please pass on the news about the extended deadline.

There is no truth that this form was developed by ETS of New Jersey  Wink
