As one of the YDCers who have accidentally posted my tally in the wrong thread when both the tally thread and the winner thread were at the top, completely my fault for not reading title correctly (thanks again to whom ever PM'd me re my error so I could quickly delete it from the wrong thread and post it in the correct thread hoping not too many people noticed my error) I think it would be a nice start of the month for the winner thread to be posted on the 1st of the following month, not that it would make much difference for February. except on leap years.
May I make a small suggestion of putting 2 ** at the start and end of the winners thread, making it stand out differently from the tally thread.
ETA Have I boobed again, was I suppose to just vote without making a comment as to why...I just can't seem to do anything right with YDC
