       Nah, he's valuable.  :)

        I'm not sure what's happened, but I wonder if it's anything to do 
with the extra leap second?

    Yeah, that's the thing with free forums, you have no control. 
Apparently, it's only the .co.uk domain that's down, and they just say 
basically: "Hope it's back soon, sorry for the inconvenience."  :o/

The well known *Year 2009* bug, I assume :)

And there was a slight "male-chicken up" in the animations, too. An extra
20-20-20 was added to both entries.

    Could be! :)  No, I'm not sure about that extra second because I guess 
our computers also took the extra second into account? If so, then surely 
the web code would still work as intended?

  No, don't forget that the same rule applies to both challenges where you 
have to rate all other entries, and you both did.

I doubt it unless your computer is set up to download the correct time from an
online site. (Computers are the most expensive, inaccurate clocks that I know
of.)

I was joking :)

I think that there is a little bit of logic missing from Colin's code.

If individual voter does not vote for all entries {except their own (if any)}
then discount their votes. Should be the only rule here IM(Not So)HO. 
I don't see the need for adding the 20-20-20 now every member can vote.

BTW Thanks for sending the reminder to vote for the animations, out.
