Is it me, or last year, once we had posted our vote, did we have a percentage bar showing us the leaders and losers so far??  Huh

No. The Hancocks have always been a hidden vote.

Nobody but the Admins can see how the voting is going.

You can, however, change your votes.

Because the awards are not cheap to produce and Colin funds them, so I reckon he can have whatever awards he wants Grin Grin Grin

Now if you want to fund your own awards..........

I can see the results everywhere I have voted. With the ability to recast your votes, this could lead to some interesting last minute tactical changes.

Ok, there's a software bug or something. I definitely made them all invisible when I set them up  Roll Eyes

Soon fix that...

Hm. I think that it was NOT A DREAM.

I placed my vote for St Agnes Fountain - that's 'voted', not 'nominated' - and now they're gone!

Unvoteable for, it disappears.

I think it seriously unsporting to put them up with apparent viable votability and then withdraw
that option AFTER a vote for them has been posted.

St. Agnes have never been in the voting.
The only possibility is that several days ago (long before the voting started) there were several test polls put on the board, for tens of minutes, to test that the right people could vote and that things were working correctly.

The voting started on Thursday at about 1:10pm, as announced. After that the polls have not been changed. They can't be without totally reseting them.

Ah, that must be it, then. I misled myself by a "test poll".

As Sandra pointed out Colin funds these awards, for which we are very grateful, and I'm sure his funds aren't limitless. It's a bit ungrateful to ask for more isn't it?
That we have them, that they are the beautiful pieces of art that they are, is certainly more than enough!!!
