I've contacted our web developer; he'll look into it. Strangely enough, it is working for me.

Is there any chance you guys could reset the results after you fix the issue? At this point I'm sure certain entries are unfairly inflated or deflated because people were forced to choose between one or the other. That may be fine when one pumpkin is clearly better than the one it's being compared to, but when it boils down to the good ones the results would start getting sketchy as hell. Not to mention all the not-so-great pumpkins that would get bumped up the list and (possibly) get mixed in with the good ones. |

If you're experience problems, can you please respond with what browser (and version) you're using, and what operating system?

I'm not sure I follow. If you have two really good pumpkins, one can still be "better" than the other. Similarly, it doesn't matter if you are asked to vote between two "meh" pumpkins, because when Meh #1 pumpkin goes up against Awesome Pumpkin, the Awesome Pumpkin still wins. That's the nature of brackets. It doesn't matter if a #1 and #2 seeded sports team plays against each other, or a #1 and #8 seed play against each other. Whoever wins is still the better team. Only in this case, statistically, it's more like #8 keeps winning against #6 and #7, perhaps, but it'll always lose to #1, so #1 is still #1, regardless of how many times #8 wins. Meh Pumpkin can get 100 votes, but if it loses to Awesome Pumpkin every single time it's matched up against Awesome Pumpkin, it'll still lose. |

Yeah, you are right, that makes sense. I was just getting needlessly panicky and not thinking logically there.

I can also confirm that the broken button is also present on both AOL 9.7 with Windows XP, as well as the Wii U's Internet Browser.

I found a bug with the "I can't decide" button and fixed it.

Well I'm going to try and continue/finish voting, but the button is still broken for me in Firefox, as well as when I open it in Chrome, so yeah.
Not a fan of this system...lol |

Let's lighten up, its just a pumpkin contest. I feel like mommy & daddy are fighting at the table--awkward. o_O

Is the top 5 your own top 5 or the top 5 voted by everyone so far?
