FYI, a little browser wonkiness:
I usually use Opera (currently 11.61 under Vista 32-bit) to surf Paizo. When I attempted to vote...
If you see checkboxes instead of "your vote has been recorded" your vote has not been recorded.
...it refreshed the page, but didn't appear to have recorded my votes. But when I logged in under Firefox (9.01), the site server said my vote had already been recorded.
It looked as if the page had some hiccups. I managed to vote after some <vote> and <reload page> button-smashing.
EDIT: Maybe too many people tried to vote at the same time? :P
Add another to the "voted via Chrome and it never gave me a confirmation, but I logged onto Firefox and it said I had already voted"
I'm also using Chrome and it kept giving me checkboxes instead of confirmation. I ended up hitting vote about 10 times and it went through, but it sounds like there might be Chrome issues.
Nope, I had the same on Firefox. Hadn't tried on Chrome.
Voted with Chrome on Ubuntu, no issues.
I was having trouble with IE at work and now with Firefox at home. Will try again later.
Using Firefox and my vote won't go through. I'll try IE and see if it works.
Edit: Yep. I brought up the poll on IE and it said my vote's been recorded. Weird.
I tried Safari and it didn't take, then tried Firefox and the votes hadn't been recorded and weren't accepted.
I'll mash the buttons a bit more.
edit: and I hit the vote button one more time in Safari and it worked.
I had to refresh the page on firefox to get it to show that the votes had recorded.
For some reason my vote only got recorded after the fifth time I hit "Vote".
One of my buddies also reports trouble getting his vote to register. Browser unknown.
Firefox, Win 7. Can't vote.
IE at work. Four tries. No dice.
The check boxes kept appearing after I hit vote in Firefox.
Went to IE, "Your vote has already been recorded"
I was disenfranchised by teh pehemgee 5 times before my votes were recorded.
I had to try a couple times, but it eventually went through. I've already had one friend (whom I nagged into voting for me) tell me he couldn't get it to work, so that's disheartening.
I know in the past when there were problems with certain things on the website registering for my browser, it helps to logout and then log back in. A lot of people (myself included) just log in once to Paizo's site and stay logged in all the time. But, for some of the changes to take effect, I have to log out and come back in.
That said, for my own voting experience, I too had to push the vote button a few times to get it to take. I was using WinXP and IE, I believe. Later, I checked it again on WinVista and Firefox. Once I got my vote to take, it's worked fine every since.
i also tried voting several times with no apparent success- but, like lord okoya, when i closed my browser and reopened it my ballot had been registered. it seems like the votes are working fine, its just the confirmation that's glitchy (at least for me). if you're having this problem try closing and reopening your browser, i bet you'll find out you're fine.
ps- Thank you for your support and please vote for my item! If you have questions, I'll be happy to answer them once voting for this round is closed.
Third time was a charm on Firefox 9.0.1 in Windows 7 OS.
Using Firefox and button mashed a lot. No vote recorded.

This bug should be fixed now.
It isn't the promissed message! :P
Hmm. I went back to the voting thread, and saw checkboxes again instead of the message that my votes had been recorded.
I signed out and signed back in again, and still see checkboxes. Is this what I should see?
If you see checkboxes, your vote hasn't been recorded and you need to vote again.
Something's still not working for me then. I've hit the vote button about 15 times each in Safari and Firefox, and each time the page refreshes with the checkboxes coming back up.
If you select more than 8 entries this round your vote won't be recorded. We should probably display a message to that effect once you click the vote button but I don't think we do currently. Could that be what you're running into?
I only selected six to vote for. Could it be because I'm voting for less than 8 entries?

I don't think so. My vote went through, and I ticked seven.
I beleive the site had serious problems at the point of time in question. for at leat 1 hour I couldn't even get anything on the entire paizo.com site to open. However, it all seems to be acting normally today.
Selecting less entries does not affect your ability vote. In my experience, you can both vote for less entries than you want, and, as I recall from last year, actually go back and change your vote at any point until the voting closes. I am not sure if the last is the case this year, but voting for less than 8 entries should, truly, be not problem.

If you go back to the voting page, do you still see the message that your vote has been recorded?
(I saw it briefly, now I"m back to checkboxes)
excellent - no more problems for me, I can see the message that my vote has been recorded :)
