    Need your EXPERT OPINION quickly please
    « on: June 06, 2009, 11:34:03 AM »
    Hey guys, Please tell me if this is my problem or the site's.

    I am voting in a contest where there are 100 entrants. To vote you must click on a "+" sign by the pic of the person. So, if everyone's pic has that sign except the person you're voting for is it like your comp or the site. Mind you the pic has been with the sign most of the morning and the site is constantly saying "Can't Find the Web Address".

    Also, When you do get in the same page displays the same numbers over and over even when I clear my cookies.

    Can the site be manipulating the votes in favor of one person, or is there likely a problem with my machine.  Others of us voting for this one person are also going through this problem.


    Thanks guys.
    If you say, "I can", you're right. If you say, "I can't", you're also right.

    I don't exactly know what may be going on, we're going to need more information...
    Number 1...to start getting an idea of what may be going on, what's the website, that you're speaking of, what's the web address?
    Computers are the future, not us. Learn everything you can about them while you still can, soon they will be learning about us... Every bit of advice that I give you is best guess, it is your choice whether or not you listen to it.

      Please tell me, in the block @davidarchie, is there a plus sign visible in the lower right corner? This sign is not visible to a ton of voters.

      The site is mallplace.com

        Looks like someone doesn't have enough bandwidth!

        The site looks like it is struggling to stay up. It's taking forever to load, so elements (pics, urls) are timing out and failing to load. This is a problem with the site and not you.
        Don't forget to give thanks if I was able to help ya! Please?

        Yes, and I just clicked it.

          Thank you. Now say they don't have enough band width...if they were to keep a huge amount of ppl from voting could that compensate and give them, um whatever...more ability to serve others? Could that be why @davidarchie has had no ability to vote most of the day, and why the site is saying the web address is unknown?

              Karnac, most of the guys here know I'm not comp savvy. What are you saying? The photo needs to be re[laced.

                I don't know casse...it was just an observation I made.....maybe a photo uploaded as a JPEG would solve the problem...I don't know for sure....perhaps someone else can chime in as to whether this is the cause.

                  Yes, Please! Thank you Karnac. And I did check, of course you're right.

                      LOL... mean Karnac, you just have to have been a part of this madness for the past week or so especially the Elite contest which began Wednesday when all of us even the ppl at Mallplace were pulling their hair out.

                      When I first addressed a problem with them their response was we had no idea this thing would be so huge. I could only respond, but you had David Archuleta in it, and don't you know about his fanbase.

                      We're trying everything so I'll try this as well. TY...[

                      so it's click his pic, then let that open, which takes forever, everything takes forever, then go back to the page with the pics and the "+" sign may be there. Okay roger wilco./b]

                        Guys, I placed this thread in my clubs messages and now a question to you:

                        Sometimes this counter will change and we can see the number turn over immediately however, other times it doesn't so we don't. So when we click that "+" and the number doesn't change does the vote get registered when we click and we don't need to see the change? By the way, if you vote the picture always darkens, then goes back to color, which I hope means the vote has been sent.

                        This ii more about when a vote is actually registered. TYG
                        If you say, "I can", you're right. If you say, "I can't", you're also right.

                          I think the darkening of the photo indicates a vote has been entered/registered.....

                            I hope so Karnac, because we have gotta move some votes. Thanks guys I'll post back if more replies come in Any idea is appreciated.

                            Oh oh...Um, do you guys remember the movie "Groundhog Day"? Well, maybe you can tell me why when I click on this site which is in my favorites I have gotten the same page four times now today? These Even if the numbers changes when I vote. the next 20 minutes the same page will come up again with the same numbers. Is this also because of the band width of Mallplace? It's like I'm just wasting my time to see the same numbers all the time.
