Love to express my vote... but...
Aployton, I & many others don't have a clue what our passwords are because we long ago told our browser to remember it & stick it into our "Post Reply" login.

Don't work here guys... nor, as i'v been meaning to tell U, does it work on any of your other survey response boxes/windows/ports/links or what U call'm.
Bet U would a WHOLE LOT votes & opinions if U could help out here a little?
===========================================
AS for my opinion... Yes! i NOW thinks it's great up to the point combats starting.

HOWEVER, have some real problems with it's fairness & simultaneousness(?) after the battling starts. Gotta go to normal while there are serious wars going on.

Don't confuse him!u need atleast the iq of a nursery school student to get your password!

Mark...
U guys run an excellent site here. What i'm trying to tell U is:
a] your survey vote boxes DO NOT work in the same fast, convienent way that this Post a Reply box does (note U other "helpful" smart asses). If i didn't know or my browser didn't remember id's & passwords, how could i be doing all these posts?

b] i tried again to vote here & also tried using 1 of the survey boxes... nothing gets automatically inserted! Unlike when I(& no doubt dozens of other users) clik on the Post a Reply or Private Mailbox input screens.

c]i'v been-there-done-that with having U re-mail my password = a major pain in the butt because;
#1- we have to wait for ____ to get it &
#2- for some reason you won't allow users to change/create a password that is meaningful TO US, the user. So we HAVE to waste our time & yours if we clean out our cookies &/or accumulated megabytes of internet history files.

d] convienence & easy-of-use DOES matter, especially in non-essential activites. If we were into working hard, we wouldn't be sitting on our butts doing nothing more than type & clik. How many times have U not bothered to switch channels because the remote channel was ALL THE WAY over there or get up off our ass to actually go touch the TV to "vote" for another channel?!

It's not like U have to protect national security secrets here. Why can't U just set up the site so:
A> ALL your User/Password boxes are the same
&/or
B> allow can have passwords WE can EASILY remember?

I played Simultaneous MP once, it appeared to be fine.

[KenThur]

OK, K!! NOW i know & will Remember, without the aid of a computer, my Apolyton password.

And i just successfully voted & commented.
= very good.

Now, pass some of that humble pie over here...

[Roman]

MarkG, would it be possible to make the computer remember your password also for polls? That would be very convenient.

[Lan_Rover]

I am of two minds on this subject, as these are realy two radicaly different games, I like both- for different (obviously) reasons.
