We obviously have a winner here.
Once I recover from the party, I'll get all of this squared away.

Congratulations AsylumWitch, and others too, for all that good works.
I have not been able to get a hold of AsylumWitch since this contest ended, I assume she knows she won.
Anyway, if anyone knows how to get a hold of her I could appreciate it. I hope she is okay.
If I have not heard anything by Monday, we are going to move on to the second choice being the winner.

I know I said Monday but I am trying one more thing. This image won so overwhelmingly I think the best thing to do is hold another vote for the remaining images if I do not hear back.
Sorry for any inconvenience

Yay! It worked.
Thanks to everyone who offered solutions, looks like we will be using the winning image afterall.

Isn't this beautiful you guys? I consider it a fine addition to a great tradition here on the site.
I'll put it on the main page tonight. Thanks again to AsylumWitch for this great image.
If you do not see your name on this wall and it should be, please let me know. We can get that fixed right away.

It's absoutely stunning!
This collecting stuff is a sickness! ~Patrick
It sure is beautiful ... and not that it matters to me, but did folks okay using their full names rather than their member nicknames?

I have not had a problem in the past and the overwhelming majority have always said it was okay when asked in the past.
I think it is because this site and the fund raiser itself is so prestigious, people are usually very cool about it.

That's pretty! I love it!
And, ETA, since I generally go by my user name on here, I'd just like to say my real name is fine with me.
And, you spelled it correctly, which is more than I can say for my corporate HR person who's known me for 15 years.

I noticed those, just figured she was saving space by putting them on the same line, not that they are one name. Maybe a hyphen between?

I prefer a separate line per person, but that's me. Your call Matt.

She may need to lower the font because I gave her a few to add, I'm sure she will read this and if separating them out is possible, I am all for it.

Ooops... and as far as I'm concerned... it's Pamela ... not Pamala.

Hi all.
First, I literally had to guess at the names because I am not familiar with most everyone here and the name list came in one large continuously running paragraph. It had no comma's separating the names and it was not a list at all. The fact that it had user names mixed up with RL names and even a business made it all the more difficult. And btw, Pamela came to me as Pamala. I type what I see.
I'm very sorry if I put two people on the same line. My apologies to anyone that was offended. It was not my intent to condense people to save space! That would be a very tacky thing to do, especially for the donation wall.
So, let me see if I have it right...
*It's Pamela not Pamala
*MonteGss and Nerak are two people
*Shibus and Woofer are two people
That's in addition to the newest names in the two PM's, right?
Okay, I'll do it tomorrow. If anyone see's any other changes please let me know asap. The names are not difficult but it's not as simple as typing them on the page either. As I told Matt, it's not a five minute fix. The font size will obviously have to be adjusted slightly but that means everything else on the page will also need adjusting. I would like to make all these changes just one more time.
I'm delighted that you all enjoyed my piece and I'm honored that it will be a featured piece here. Thank you for your kind words of praise.
Nikki

Nikki - No worries at all, regarding my name spelling. Actually, it made me laugh. I hope you didn't take offense.
Your image is amazing, sorry if I came off as critical. We all surely appreciate all the work you put into making it.
With regards to your three bullet items ... yes, all three are correct.
Also, I sent a PM to Lisa regarding the spelling of her name, I might be wrong on that one ( ie - Dickenson ).
Matt ?? Are "Patrick" and "PS Publications" one person? Or is that Patrick ( our patrick ) and also PS Publications?

Yes, they are two different people.
I had no idea the list came over as a paragraph, when I sent it the names were all separated by lines so that is my fault.
Take your time Nikki, the image is beautiful and we don't mind waiting. I know you have a life too.

The wall looks great!
One thing I did catch, though. If I'm not mistaken, Ralph Mullins should be Mulleins.
Just curious, but did Stephen King make an actual donation through the site, or is he cutting a separate check or something on top of the total? Either way that's fantastic.
He always donates the grand prize.
