Happy Birthday to Kmad and John! I can think of no sweeter tribute than listening to the drinking scene from La Traviata at Glyndebourne Opera House near London. This is how I plan to celebrate your great day. I raise my glass in your honor and wish you enjoyment and prosperity. |
Good, then you might understand the frustration of attempting to vote for about 30 people this morning somehere around 10:30, apparently while the system was being changed, without a heads up. For some individuals, a 1 would pop up and you could click on that and a few down the list you would click and no 1 would come up. It was fluctuating between the old way and the new way in an illogical manner.I could not control or predict what way I was to vote; I tried everything I could think of; then suddenly the behavior would change again.It kept changing back and forth! I knew it had to be broken! Computerized systems are logically based. |
Ha, ha, thanks mate! You see, we can talk a common language! Are you a computer geek? |
Yes of course and I thank you for your efforts! You are truly kind for doing so! |
That much is obvious; that 60 minute constraint pertained yesterday as well. Obviously a change in actuating a vote was made and without my knowing that, I was unable to make a familiar thing respond in a familiar way. My problem is not in understanding the rules of voting, it is how to click a vote now and know that it was effected! If I decide to play the game again, I will figure it out! I am not stupid; change is an alien! |
Apparently I was trying to vote during the changeover and was not getting a consistent response ! |
Ha, ha; I assumed I had been blackballed or the system was broken! It permitted me to vote the old way intermittently, and was behaving erratically; perhaps as changes were being made.I talked with others in the game and no one knew what I was talking about! I never knew when I had or had not voted for someone because the time it stated I could vote kept fluctuating. I could not get consistency which is what an engineer relies upon.

Obviously it takes more than mere common sense to guide this aerospace engineer through the maze all you computer whizzes took for granted. We sent the moon lander up safely and it radioed back successfully, all without computer assistance! Gosh, I am giving away my age! |
Very strange; I received no positive feedback that my attempt at voting was successful! Yes, indeed I did try to access these people and was given no indication that I was actually voting. The usual numeral 1 did not appear after clicking on the carrot icon indicating that I could click on it and actuate a vote. Apparently the mechanism for voting has changed from a 2 click process to a 1 step process without my realizing it. Voting today is obviously a different process from what it was yesterday.Yesterday I knew when I had effected a vote. If something has not been altered in the voting process from yesterday then I am utterly confused why the cues received when voting are different or lacking altogether. |
Actually, yes it did, within an hour or so; it was selective; For awhile I could vote for Alexblue and Kmadeau, but no one else???????? Finally it refused to respond to me completely, so I just opted out and left the game! I had seen several other winners go back and play right away so I assumed it was ok to do so.Is there some quirk about needing to spend the award points first? |
Is there something wrong with the voting system now? No matter who I try voting for I am told I need to wait 60 minutes. It says this no matter when I last voted or even when I have not yet voted for that individual today.It began refusing my votes well over an hour ago |

Dear friend Routemaster!
Our mothers are so dear to us. They love us no matter what! You have been a loving and caring son and she will know this in her heart always and forever! I wish you peace and tranquility at this difficult moment! |
Do you really need to leave so many friends? Only you know that answer, mate! You have treated me so generously! I will miss you quite a lot! Be happy and see if you can't return at some point! |
She became even more gorgeous after Casablanca had its powerful effect on her! |
