I followed the link and don’t find a place to vote. Is it just me?

I was able to vote. I’m going to get my pick knocked out of the 2nd round but that’s ok. It was a tough choice, Angel’s Blood or Branded by Fire – either way nalini rocks!!!

It’s working for me now. I can already see some first round losses coming for me…

I just tried to vote in Round 1: Set 2 of 4.
After I clicked “VOTE” for each pair I received the message, “You Have Already Voted For This Poll,” with a different “Poll ID #” for each pair.
What does this mean? Did my votes count or not?
Confused,
Kay

@Kay Webb Harrison: If you voted yesterday while the poll was open (inadvertently), then you need to empty your cookies and revote. The polls log IP address and cookie. I cleared out the IP address before reopening the polls.

I’m getting set 2. Did I already miss the chance to vote for set 1? I confess, I don’t understand the time rules at all.

@willaful: Yes, set 1 expired at noon EST today. The polls run for 12 hour blocks, midnight to noon, EST and then noon to midnight.

@Jane
I forgot that the voting began last night and did not go on-line today until after noon. This was my first time voting this year. I DID empty the cookies and revoted, but received the same notices. The “Poll ID #s” were the same.
Did my first attempt to vote cancel out the second?

@Kay Webb Harrison: If you email me your IP address, I’ll try to clear out our entry in the voting logs. jane at dearauthor com

@Jane:
What is an IP address? My email is
kayharr@aol.com
but I doubt if that is what you mean.
Sorry,
Kay

I had the same issue as Kay Webb Harrison – said I had voted before when I had not and linked to #79 and #84.

Gack!! I can’t believe my winner is already out!! I thought for sure that Meredith Duran’s Bound by Your Touch would at least make the finals….groan…better luck next year I guess!

Sadly, no lesbian of transgender content in the GLBT category again. If the category is going to be overwhelmed by gay romance, then I suggest just calling it Gay Romance.
