*The Forum Rules.
Yep, rules. Read 'em. Abide by 'em. Or your sea creature powers may be revoked. Temporarily, or for good.
1. New to the lounge? Get started here. Learn which category to post your note in, and create a forum signature.
2. Spam: just don't do it. Thou also shalt not fill the forums with multiple threads on the same topic or sockpuppet.
3. Thou shalt not flame, harass, denigrate, spam, malign, or otherwise finger-point and name-call at ANYONE. This one's a biggy. This too can get you banned.
4. Squidstaff love interacting with smart front-line people, so they stop by the forums from time to time to hear your ideas and share updates. However, this isn't the place to post bugs or solicit admin action. Please send those requests through our feedback link.
5. The SquidU forum is a place for users to interact, to share ideas and inspiration (and yes, gripes... maybe another lensmaster can help) and have fun with their lenses. Try searching for an answer or visiting The Answer Deck.

Introducing the "Squid's Choice Awards"
The plexo voting list of our favorite lenses on Squidoo's Top Ten has become so popular that it is being moved!
A new lens called Squid's Choice Awards has been created to accommodate the growing popularity of choosing our favorite lenses each month. It has already been updated with the winners from last month's contest! Take a look to see if your lens was one of the 10 winners. (The theme was: Things With Wings)
The Top Ten List will now have more room to feature Squidoo Lensemaster"s Top Ten Lists of Likes and Dislikes!
Oh, I almost forgot to mention that your votes have decided that this month's theme is: Flowers. Don't forget to nominate and vote for your favorite lenses that fit into this theme. Enjoy!!

[Edited to add this month's theme.]

Thank you! I really loved the idea of having a theme for each month too. It makes things more interesting and may inspire some lens ideas as well.
I appreciate your nice comment about the logo because I not at all experienced in these sorts of things. It was a very humble attempt to make something the winners could show-off on their lenses.

Re: Introducing the "Squid's Choice Awards"
I love the themes. I just voted for "Things you can cook on a stick" for next month. That should result in some interesting lenses if it wins!
