issue resolved - you need to go to your server's site first and from there click the vote button. bookmarking vote page simply is not supposed to work.

Hello!

Has anyone else noticed his/her votes not being counted at all? I have first hand experience with that strange fenomena, and have heard few more ppl have fallen pray to it's evil claws.

The vote button does get displayed properly, clicking it does redirect me to the server page, but the vote count does not change =/

It would be great if an admin could look into this and help... =)

Thankful,

With that over abundance of information to look into the problem, I'll have to take a nap just to absorb it all.

;)


Seriously, you have to give us something to work with.

With pleasure:

First I go to:
hxxp://l2.hopzone.net/lineage2/moreinfo/L2WorldUK/59397.html
...And remebmer the current number of votes to the right of the '#Votes:' sign.

...Then I go to:
hxxp://l2.hopzone.net/vote.php?site=59397
...a simple page gets displayed. It has a bit of text and one button. I click the button [says on it something like 'vote now']
...I get redirected to the page I opened up first:
hxxp://l2.hopzone.net/lineage2/moreinfo/L2WorldUK/59397.html
and am sad to see the number of votes did not change =(

I've confirmed this behaviour today, coming from the address 213.147.104.227 [ prepotopnik.croz.net ], about 20-30 mins ago.

Thank you very much for trying to help me =)

You can't vote from Hopzone. You need to go to the website and vote from there.

This goes right along with the updater/launcher/patcher voting.
We want the users to visit the servers website. And from there to visit us.
Why?
Just ask any admin who uses advertising to make money.
They know that when you place the ad in a program your not getting paid for a visit and if you do you will be terminated when found.

Thanx a lot. When I went to the server site first, and then clicked on the vote banner, my vote did count indeed. Issue closed =)
