It is important to note that FlyVote (the program, not me) DOESN'T CAST THE VOTE. FlyVote brings up the voting page where you still need to click on the Firefly selection, and then on the "CLICK ONCE TO VOTE!" button. When you get to the FLAtRich web page that thanks you for your vote, then put FlyVote to sleep to be reminded in an hour.

FlyVote is a 1 hour reminder program that brings up the vote page as a convenience. It is not a vote-bot. Please keep clicking to vote!

Really good job with the vote software - looks great. (Much better than mine.....)

One thing - the Linux version isn't working on my (mostly stock) Ubuntu Edgy install. The window comes up, and I get a quote, but nothing in the main browser window. Oh, and when I click on the 'hide for 1 hour' it doesn't come back.

Thank you. Post yours, too. People can choose, as long as they cast FF votes!

I'll take a look at the Linux version, then. Might not get time until this weekend. Thanks for discovering this problem.

Looks like your post on the google site didn't go unnoticed, there is a slideshow up for Firefly now as well as one for Farscape. I can't believe we didn't bust 1000 yesterday. Man, I hope we aren't starting to slip. We've got a long way to go before we can afford to start losing momentum.

From FLAtRich's google group:

Quote:


We are aware of a certain program circulating on a certain board that
may start the rumor mills a-turning again so before any of you worry
you should take a look at our revised Tips page by clicking the About
menu item at the bottom of the site frame or going directly to
http://richlabonte.net/tvvote/count.htm

We have changed the name of the section at the top of the Tips page to
Problems Voting - Yours and Ours and added a bunch of words about Our
Number One Problem (as opposed to Yours) here at TV_Vote. The whole
page is a long read, so you can just scroll down and read that new bit
if you wanna keep up.

And thank you to Flyvote for his shiny app! We don't use it or
officially endorse it, of course, but it's kewl to think we can
actually inspire software.

About timers - Like FlyVote - thought we didn't know about that, Brownshirts? Hun dan! We're honored to have software created all special just for our site! And in three shiny flavors too!



I'll bet you didn't know that _I_ knew that you knew.

Well.... I didn't.


My guess is that someone has already assumed that the program was unfair and complained to FLAtRich. Well now here is his word - the program is fair.

Thanks for the SHINY comment, FLAtRich!

I didn't know he knew but I knew he would know and wasn't worried if he knew because I knew he knew about other timer programs and had not only known about other timer programs and was known to mention these other programs as things to use if someone knew they had a hard time knowing when to vote.

I think I said that right.

In any case, well done FlyVote.
