Anybody else have an entry that won't load so you can vote on it? I don't even get the thumb.......

STRANGE, when I do an 'insert thumbnail link to site image' it seems to loose the seven.
Now, I know it won't insert the image here but it should not drop the seven I wouldn't think.

I recovered from my initial sub-4, but it's heading south again (north for you Aussies). Two 2's in a row as I approach the 100 vote benchmark. I think I have a good shot other than one technical aspect that I knew before the 4 comments on it, but was difficult to avoid with the split-second shooting situation and no chance for reshoot.

They refresh their score often and use a spreadsheet to figure out what votes they were given based on how their score changes. You are not missing out on anything. :)

Seems like an awful lot of work for an avg. that's updated for you already!

I now have 116 votes in Action since wed, but only 111 in Calendar which went into voting monday.....

02/26/2009 01:40:41 PM · #65

I'm confused... I had an average of

6.7521 over 117 votes when I left the computer. It then went to
6.7179 for the same 117 votes, which I assume means someone downgraded their vote--but that would mean changing from a 7 to a 3. Then I went to
6.7059 for 119 votes, but a comment saying they gave it a 10. The math is seeming a little funky. It would have to be multiple people changing their votes down. does this happen very often?

How are you doing, bassman7? still over 7? There were some 2's going around earlier.

Thanks for asking. :)

I think I got hit with a few of the 2's. I was at 7.30

Obviously I am not complaining though. The only sucky part is that my PB is 7.29 and it has dropped out of that range. Oh well. Next week I guess. lol

Mine's down .18 from its highest.
There still hope for the PB! I've looked at all my challenges so far, and only one challenge did I end up further down than I was in the middle of the voting. All the rest had some sort of increase. I'm guessing you'll get it!

I made the mistake of downloading one of the spreadsheets and entering the individual scores as they happen. Its so frustrating to see a steady stream of 5's, 6's and 7's suddenly diluted by an unjustified (IMHO) 2 or 3! Ho Hum!

02/26/2009 03:39:44 PM · #73

big, big mistake!! You're going to be stuck here for life! your finger will get gnarled and broken from hitting the update button! You'll tear out all your hair from votes that you just don't understand! You'll stay up for an extra hour and 1/2 waiting for Just One More Vote to come in!

Run, run while you can!!

I just had to validate. That's a new experience!
