I posted this in the E3 forum but it may not be noticed there, so: I was voting for the E3 Readers choice and about a quarter of the way through it stopped showing me results and logged me out. So I went back, logged in, and started over and it's not showing me any results after voting. I want to know my votes are being counted. After voting, the vote section will fade slightly and then entire page reloads with the ability to vote again. Edit: and it keeps logging me out, seems that's the only way it takes my votes. Which makes no sense. Guess I should wait a few days and try voting then.
I did a ton of votes prior to logging in. Then I logged in, and it was still showing my votes. I figured it was no biggie so I just continued to vote and when all was said and done I didn't get the emblem. Don't know if there is a delay, or it isn't possible to get credit because I wasn't logged in. It's all quite strange.
Yup same problem, but the Most Anticipated Games poll wont even load the page when i click the category it just brings me back to GS homepage. But yeah i have same voting problem only i dont get logged out
This happens to me as well. I am unable to vote for best rythm game, or best ps3 game. I click on the vote button, and it reloads the page and all the vote buttons are back.
If I may ask, what browser are you using, and what are your cookie settings?
This is why I ask. I cast my votes on Firefox. When I return to the Best of E3 ballot using Firefox, it remembers my votes. When I used Internet Explorer today, it had no knowledge of my votes, and was ready for me to cast my votes again.
I don't have an explanation, but it may help in diagnosing the problem.

I am using opera, also tried chrome. It's kinda annoying, I am able to vote for all, it goes through but when I navigate back, it completely forgets about it. My votes are only remembered from the first category to before best puzzle game. From that point on, all my votes are forgotten.
Sorry Woonsa, I don't know what to tell you. I've never used Opera, and I haven't used Chrome since it's release (there have been many improvements since).
To me, it doesn't seem like a browser or cookie issue. I would think that it would remember all or none of your votes. The fact that it remembers some of them makes it seem like the trouble may be on the Gamespot end. I could be wrong. But it would be nice if one of their mods would check out this thread.
Once again, sorry I couldn't be more help. Good luck!

We are checking out this thread, but as moderators have nothing to do with the coding or fixing of the technical side on the site, we have nothing concrete to tell you.
some categories remember my votes and others don't. using firefox. anyone know how to fix this?

This has been happening to me too. I've been checking every now and then and it's still doing it.
When I first voted, I went through every category, and every category seemed to work and register except the Wii - that kept refreshing without accepting my vote. The next day I went back and was able to cast my vote for Wii, but then I noticed a few other categories didn't have my vote, so I recast them. Then I checked again a few days later, and then again just now...there are still some categories that don't seem to be sticking.
I re-checked mine for a 4th time and the only thing that seems a bit off is some choices are totally blank as there is nothing there at all but apparently the vote went through.
[QUOTE="harry_james_pot"]I voted twice in every category, and it got reset again.. :|scorch-62
You have got to be kidding me. I'm not voting for a THIRD time. :| It's really annoying.. :| But probably after the voting is over, Jody will make a thread for the people who voted and didn't get the emblem..
From what we can tell from when this happened before, your vote is counting the first time, it's just not setting a cookie, or a cookie has been cleared - this cookie is what tells GS to either show the results table, or show you the voting options. Your vote is still in the database regardless of whether the cookie is set or not.
So, there's probably nothing to actually be worrying about.
