Thank you very much for the effort. The trick is  to make sure that you only push the button once.  A double click will give you the sorry.  I know most things are a double click but the vote site is a single.  Also you might want to refresh your browser also.   If you still have problems send me a private message.

YIKES!!!  I'm sorry to hear you are having trouble voting on (edited by admin)

I'm not sure why you get that message when you hadn't voted yet and it was your first time.  Let's see if I can make some helpful suggestions... IF you're still interested in voting for Dark Shadows [I hope you are].

When you get to the page to vote, first refresh it by clicking the "reload" button on your browser.  Sometimes that refreshing your cache.  If you click the button to vote and for some reason it registers 2 clicks, you'll get that message.  My mouse does that to me sometimes and I just want to scream and bound on the keyboard, it's so frustrating.  Don't know if that happens to you but it might be why you get that message.  If you vote and try to vote again but it was less than 60 minutes since your last vote, you will also get that message.

I hope that helps!  And thanks for voting.

I saw this on another list and thought it might help others:

From Rich Labonte:

"Problems voting? Refresh your browser! Turn off web accelerators! Use Internet Explorer instead of the AOL browser! More problems? Check out our Tips for New Voters FAQ or come into the TV_Vote Google Group and tell us!"

Note that both http://richlabonte.net/tvvote and http://www.richlabonte.net/tvvote work for voting, as well as http://richlabonte.net/tvvote/index.html, so if you have trouble getting into the site in heavy traffic you can try an alternate address instead. ...

Some more tips... If you get a "File Not Found" message after you click to vote, your vote and your IP address did not go through so you should immediately refresh our page by right-clicking anywhere on the screen and choosing"Refresh" and vote again.

If you get what looks like the Thank You page but it "doesn't come in all the way" (like you see the light blue page background but no text or pictures), then YOUR VOTE WAS COUNTED but the page probably stalled because someone else is voting at the same time. (That can happen during peak Internet "traffic" hours, particularly between 7 PM and 11 PM at night.) If you try to vote again in this case, you will get the Sorry page (this is also a good way to check and see if your first vote went through - there is no penalty to the voter for getting a Sorry page.)

Lastly, I use high speed COMCAST myself and I don't have this but I have noticed in their new ads that they have some sort of "web accellerator" for high speed (they call it Power Boost or something like that) which could be saving pages you visit often on their server to make them seem to come up faster. If you know that you do have this, then you might need to refresh your browser every time you come into our site because you can't vote from such "stored" pages (hit the refresh button on your browser OR the press the F5 key on your keyboard, after you come in but before you vote.)

Thanks to loril54, links to the voting pages are on every page of this topic.    In order to help conserve server space, we ask that advertising banners for and links to the TV Vote page not appear in every post, but please feel free to add them to your sig space.  The same applies to links to other sites devoted to the project.

Thank you from the DS Forums team

[Jackie]

It's been a while since I've been here, shame on me, so let's refresh my cobweb memory.  The sig space is in my profile, where I have my signature line that shows up on every message I post?  I can have the banner there because it doesn't take up more forum space?  Is that right Midnite?

Thanks.

[Raycheetah]

Well, it was really quite easy to find this thread!

Now that I'm here, finally, I would like to respectfully submit an initial suggestion: It might be better to change the title of the thread to something more specific to TV Vote, preferably something which expresses the purpose of voting, rather than just "Vote for Dark Shadows on TV Vote!" The current title is rather ambiguous, and, doesn't have quite the grab that you might want, in order to attract new readers.

It might be something we could discuss, here, before coming to a precipitous decision.

I'll be back, tomorrow, with some voting stats and analysis, for review.

Thanks, again, to everyone who pointed me in the right direction to get here!

Ray I just curse you BUT on this forum, curses are good and cures are not so good.  So consider it a complement. 

[Jackie]

Is this what you meant, Midnite, that I could add my sig tag to my profile and that's legit?  Of course it will be on every post I've ever made on this forum.
