"There was an error recording your vote." Anybody else having this problem?→[More:]
I logged out and logged back in and everything, but I can't vote.

Welcome to black America.

I haven't been able to vote yet, and I duly reported this in the two Meta threads that supposedly addressed the problem, and yet it is not fixed. So I guess I don't get to vote.

I wish goodnewsfortheinsane would post his album to projects. I'm really enjoying it, especially A Slight Change of Plans.

Yesyesyes. I have the same problem, I reported it in meta, I am still having the problem. I'm disenfranchised.

I can vote. Hmm.

Honestly I find the whole thing confusing, but anyhow.

I have no scruples and am willing to sell my vote to anyone who wants it. Thank you.

In fact if I set up a website selling my votes I could put it on Mefi Projects. Hmmm....

well, i'd be tempted to snark about teh howies cluelessness here, but somehow i managed while fucking with file and directory permissions to totally bork my gnome login. after some wonking around with su from a terminal i managed to log back in but most of my installed apps have lost thier config info and refuse to function. back on winders for the time being. so much for the linux geekery.

all seems not lost. fixing a few of these files one at a time and logging back in, renaming old profiles to the new profile name, and i've got my mail and browser back.

things are looking way up. note to self: don't fuck with permissions in home directory.

Yeah, I started a MeTa thread a little while ago and Matt said he was looking into it. Haven't heard anything since.

there's a new meta thread.

Could everyone vote for my new project? It's a site that exposes what a sham Dodgygeezer's vote-selling site is.
