I'm curious about whether my votes to TopMudSites are being registered. I've been noticing it particularly because of the vote reminder messages (which really make me want to vote )
For instance, this was the message I just got:
: Time to vote! We only need 1 votes to move to #9. http://www.lusternia.com/vote. Thanks!
So I thought... ooo, time to vote indeed! I use my trusty
#url http://www.ironrealms.com/irex/tmsvote.php?id=lusternia
click on the 'vote for this site and enter', and have a look at the rankings (I get the nice thankyou message in game). But the votes for Lusternia never change. In this case, there was still one vote needed to move to position 9. Every other time I try to vote the number required to move up one rank never changes either.
Do other people notice the number of votes required to move up a rank changes after they've voted?

Voting has never worked for me...
So of course I stopped bothering a long time ago.

Doubt they update in real time, but either way, scores just reset, so vote!
Xenthos2006-04-11 02:15:25
The voting DOES work, it just doesn't immediately update! So take heart, even if the number doesn't go up immediately it is still being counted! Do not give up now, vote, vote! Vote for the envoys!

Ah, ok, thanks!
Silly TMS, I want instant gratification!

Hmm... would be nice if something gave you feedback to suggest that your vote had been counted...

Yeah, but nothing we can do about that. Just vote whenever the prompt comes up in your trigger and you're set, you know it'll be counted then.

It doesn't register that I have voted in Lusternia, it doesn't register that I've voted on TMS.
Everything suggests that voting is not working. Tested on two browsers, on two separate machines, and two operating systems.
But hey... I'm prepared to go on blind faith for a bit...
*goes off to vote*

If you use the following link: http://www.topmudsites.com/cgi-bin/topmuds....cgi?id=estarra while logged into Lusternia, it should say "Thank you for voting!" on your screen.
(And stop bothering you for a while. *coughs*)

Yes. It should.
Actually... voting did work for me once (out of about a thousand attempts... so I do know that it is possible to get the "Thank you for voting" message). It just doesn't seem to be reproducible for me....

I use the redirection url http://www.ironrealms.com/irex/tmsvote.php?id=lusternia and it will show up in game. If I use the one Xenthos posted, it doesn't work for me.

Ah, yeah. I stole the link from my bar, not from my vote-button.
Silly me for thinking they were the same, my vote button uses the id=lusternia.
