I can't vote. It says that my session is invalid.

Someone please help me!

Posted by Jonny (in response to skywalker):

I've been getting the same message too, for several days now. And no matter how much you try again, it keeps appearing.

Anyone else have the same problem? Anyone know how to fix it?

Hmm, sounds like we need a test poll to see if this is indeed the case!

I have had this several times the last few weeks. EXACTLY the problems you mention, UnOrthO.
I posted in a Sn00py started thread in Community (can't be bothered finding it ) and was advised by Dan to try again over 24 hours, and if there was a problem still, report it and all my settings.
It worked for some polls, but not others, and the problem has since disappeared without action from me.

from the way i hear it, the political parties are putting out the news themselves by mass pm'ing everyone involved in the game

Markos,

Did you see my post in the other thread on this, otherwise here's an excerpt, I think it kind of undermines the purpose of having polls if this is at all common:

I've experienced voting on a multiple choice poll in the OT - Where would you go to live? - for an option that nobody else had chosen at the time. The poll now appears as if I have voted, and also recognizes me as having voted, but the option I chose still has zero votes.

[MarkG]

winston, that poll is not a multiple choice one

[Winston]

Doh!

Sorry for sounding the alarm then.

Still, I thought we used to get an error message if we checked multiple options on a regular poll? I didn't, it took me straight to the bar diagram.

[MarkG]

it is impossible to check multiple options on a regular poll

[Winston]

Well, I checked three on this particular poll. No kidding. That's why I asumed it was multiple choice when the script didn't object.
