@ Nikolyn I wish it were that because I could have easily fixed it with a second email to all the people I've contacted. Unfortunately It is not that simple. My people were prepared to sign in. They just reached the same screen one would see right AFTER they have voted, which shows the image with the words, "Thank you for your vote!" just above the RED voting button that says, "Cancel Your Vote." Many of my friends when they got to this screen - without signing in and without voting - actually thought they had voted because the message they saw coupled with their inexperience with this site made them believe it was so. Many others realized, when they had not actually done anything, that something was wrong, and emailed me to tell me they couldn't vote. One person even told me they were able to get to OTHER PEOPLE's images to vote, but were prohibited from voting for mine -- which is really maddening! It was almost as if the link took them to the image as if they were me (yes I did vote for my each of my own entries) and saw the screen that I see when I log back in and click on one of my images. In any case, the vote count on my images is not at all reflective of the people I've sent to the site to vote, that wanted to vote and/or thought they did vote.
