Hi Jean:

I think you are confusing "rating" the recipe with the poll.

We only test one recipe/month, so people submit (post) their recipes to the forum up to the 10th of the month. Then I will create a poll on the 10th of the month which will list all the recipes that have been submitted. Then you folks all vote on which recipe you'd like to try. The poll closes on the 15th of the month. The most popular vote becomes the Recipe of the Month. So you have 5 days to vote on the Recipe of the Month.

Then you have from the 15th to the end of the month to make the recipe. Really, you can make the recipes whenever you want and comment on them whenever you want, but as part of the CLUB, comments (and recipe ratings) are posted from the 15th to the end of the month.

Is that more clear?

Wanda
