When you opened the email they sent you, just click forward and send it to whom ever you like.

Ive been able to vote from my computer with all my families email address ect.
I dont know what an ip addess is but i'll try and find out for you though.

Hi misstake,

As I said you in my PM to you last night, the Golden Spider Award team has probably placed a 'cookie' on your PC (a cookie = a marker to indicate you visted their site). Ostensibly, this is to prevent multiple voting by the same person, which is fair enough, but they may have noted your computer's IP address (identifying code) as a further security measure. This may be blocking other potential voters from using your PC. Deleting the cookie MAY enable other people to vote from your PC. I'll try to find out.

In any case, thanks for your vote!

yes they told me they had done something to my ip address i informed them that multi people use my computer but all they told me was to send e mails to them from each user and the votes will be counted Now i find this unfair to me or other users as its not convenient soooooooooooo ive borrowed a laptop for later to see if the same happens

Hi misstake,

That sounds a bit inconvenient but the Golden Spiders folk have to regulate the vote in some way. However, one vote per computer rather than one vote per person sounds a bit strict.

Thanks for the feedback, misstake. You should be running Barack Obama's election campaign. Keep up the trojan work!

this probably wont help misstake but might be handy for other people,. I managed to vote three times from the same computer, not cheating but one from me, one from hubby and one from my sister, I think possibly the reason I got through three times was I did them one after the other and they didnt have time to cookie me. My spybot is pretty good at deleting random cookies...

We ran two seperate scans but nothing helped And the idea of them doing something like this is driving me nuts lol i have complained and will do so again as will my daughter and some of my friends They are saying only one vote per computer to me and im still hopping mad
