  • GTonkin

It's been a while since we've done a tally, and there are some new rank assignments from the current one for November 2016

New MVP
Congratulations to GTonkin, whose questions often give as much technical insight as his answers. Well done George.

New Community Contributors
Congratulations also to the following new community contributors, whose posts add to the overall community knowledge of TM1:
  • Edward Stuart
  • Ardi
  • Ian S Digby and
  • RJ! (His exclamation, not mine but it fits well enough here.)
Well done to all.

Thank you!

I'd like to dedicate this promotion to my cat, my soon-to-be long-haired dachshund and all the ancestors that fought for the Confederacy. :-)

Seriously, thank you very much. I hope to improve the value of any contributions I make to this forum.

This has been left to lie fallow for too long, mainly because of a relative explosion in the number of people who were eligible to be voted upon in the last couple of years. It made the old manual process pretty much untenable.

So as a wise man (it may have been me) once said, "When in doubt, write a script". As a consequence the gears of the voting machine have started grinding again, with an appropriate amount of SQL lubricant.

New MVP
Congratulations to dr.nybble. If you get an answer from the Doc, you can take it to the bank.

New Community Contributors
Congratulations also to the following new community contributors, who mostly earned their stripes for adding to the collected knowledge of PA / TM1 a while back... but at least they have them now:
  • ascheevel
  • Elessar
  • kavitha2002
  • Mark RMBC
  • MSidat
  • orlando

We've now got a semi-automated system for tallying votes, so polling is going back to a monthly exercise.

New MVPs
None yet.

New Community Contributors
Congratulations to ykud who, in addition to his contributions to this forum, has a site with a number of interesting articles on TM1. (Link in his profile.) We'll be sending you the keys to the forum's slightly less grotty washroom shortly.
