What is Topic Of The Week?

Post of the Week is a contest that select posts which we would like the community to commit to as a group and then comment/discuss on them during the course of the selected week. Any listed topic (thread) is eligible for the Topic of the week selection. However, you cannot nominate your own post nor encourage others to nominate your post.

What determines a Post Of The Week?

Post Of The Week is based on a simple nomination system. Throughout the selected forums, members with adequate permissions can nominate their favorite topic by clicking on the award nomination button below the post.

The posts with the most nominations during the course of the week are displayed in this thread using the poll feature. At the end of the week, the first three topics with the most nominations are the award winners of the contest.

The poster of the Post of the Week will receive a prize of 100,000 Bits (Donated by Neo).

I nominated Perderabo's recursive FTP post HardFeed Part 1 as the first "Post of the Week" because that post is part of a thread that is very popular (number of link backs from other source).

May i know why this poll is closed so soon ?!

You vote by clicking on the actual posts (in the lower right corner of the post), not by voting in the poll.

See attached screenshot where to nominate a post for POTM....

I thought it was post of the week?

The winner so far was posted 7 years ago!

Post of the week means post nominated by people for that week.

You are free to nominate any post, old or new :b:

Thanks for clearing that up. It is a fine post.

I voted for cfajohnson's post as it's a fantastic reference.

(even though I then went and replied to a post using seq - which is not listed there!)

Great! This new feature seems to add value.

OBTW, current setting is that if a post does not win, it can be nominated again in two weeks. Hope this is OK..... Seems reasonable to skip one week.
