It's not possible to vote if I can't read the articles, and it's not possible to read the articles if I cannot find the articles. That may tend to reduce the number of votes for others, as well. Clicking the titles in the voting list at the upper left results in checking the boxes next to the titles, but does not open the articles. Where are the articles located for reading? If their location is obvious to others, it is still not obvious to me.

In addition to the cheat sheet that Linda refered to here, you can find all of the articles published in all of the Newsletters on the Newsletter board. You can find that board by clicking on Newsletter in the navigation bar at the top of the home page.  |

Congratulations, Linda!! I am so glad that your article has been voted as the TSF Article of Distinction for 2023! It is a wonderful write-up on the subject of a worthy, timely cause, and I just couldn't be happier that your article will be getting this recognition, which I can only imagine will help bring visibility to the project. Congratulations again!  |

Thank you Terri ( philatelia ) and Chris ( Beryllium Guy ), and everyone who had voted for my article -- I am truly flattered and honoured, especially considering it was my first submission to the forum newsletter. My article is a very different kind of 'philatelic' writing (if I can call it so), so this result is shocking to me. But I think it will represent TSF well -- as Stamp Out War: Support Ukraine! project first emerged from this very forum. (I got into Postcrossing only later upon Dorin's suggestion.) |
