Below are a list of the top 10 articles submitted last month. Please choose the ones you consider your favourite.
It's only allowing me to select only one. If selecting only one choice is how the voting supposed to work then could the text be updated to say choose only one? I am a bit confused if there is a typo in the text or if the functionality has a new "feature". Thanks!

Ahh not a bug, we're "experimenting" this month to see what happens when you're only allowed to select a single article that's your favourite (like in an election) versus picking multiple ones. Curious... do you have a preference either way of how future competitions should be run? Single vs. Multiple choices?

My preference is multiple choices. It's so hard to choose only one. Looking at the C# articles there is a minimum of 2 that I want to select. I feel bad choosing one over the other so I didn't vote...yet. What I have noticed when I vote for these articles is I usually pick 2 or more. I rarely pick just one. Just my thoughts I don't mind what the final verdict is. I will cope... I hope :)

So I for one agree with the Man of Steel. I often find it hard to pick just one article, but there are also cases where I wish to "give an extra nod" to what I consider a runner-up article, unlikely to win the competition (e.g. VB.NET, "Black-Oil"). I realize I can also simply post a message in the article's forum, but I would think any competition vote warms just a tad extra. Just my 2 cents. Soren Madsen

If multiple choice is active I don't always use it, but if there are more than one interesting articles, I like to have the possibility. On the other hand... if only one vote possible... I have no problem with it.
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

GOTOs are a bit like wire coat hangers: they tend to breed in the darkness, such that where there once were few, eventually there are many, and the program's architecture collapses beneath them. (Fran Poretto) Point in case: http://www.infoq.com/news/2014/02/apple_gotofail_lessons[^]
