This has slipped my mind a bit over the past week or so for various reasons. Bumping it up so I and others remember to keep on voting. As Mary says, no 2 is catching up!!

The same experience!!!!
I've been voting every day since beginning of May, but the voting becomes more and more difficult. My computer is very slow and regularly goes down with the message :

My pc sometimes took exception to this site as well, with Explorer saying the scrips it was trying to run would slow it down so much it would have to close. Other times it is okay and my security doesn't seen to get hot and bothered about it. So who knows...

Is it only MS Explorer that doesn't like it, or has it affected other browsers?

Sometimes I get a message that the script is causing my computer to run slow. I bypass that but paranoia does pop up.

We have to also remember what Maarten said - while giving LC a 10, we have to vote 1 for Matt Bellamy/Muse to keep his ranking down. Betcha Muse fans are doing it to LC.

LC is 9.37 :D

Also my computer is slowed down and for every vote I first have to wait for the popup question whether I want to quit because of problems wring scripts :(
I´ll do it anyway, but it really takes some time now ...

That script question is intermittent for me - makes no difference, I simply click 'yes' to quit the script and continue voting. For some reason, the last couple of times I voted, there was no change in the rankings. We all need to keep at this (for who knows how long), voting 10 for LC and 1 for Matt Bellamey, since Matt's ranking is creeping up there, and LC's seems to have stayed in the 9.32-9.37 range for the past few weeks without making any significant permanent increase.
EVERYBODY VOTE PLEASE!

It's getting even closer now:

MATT 8.99
L.C. 9.35

I am leaving for two weeks hiking holidays in Swiss mountains and I won't be able to bring my daily vote:
100 x 1 to Matt
100 x 10 to L.C.

It became nearly an offering service for me...I hope that you can take over my job....Thank you, beautiful people!
