Can't Vote in Polls

[Drewcifer]

Every time I try to vote in a poll, I get a message that says words to the effect "your session apears to be invalid, please try again". I even got this when I tried to vote in a poll that I created.

Clear your cookies, thenlog in again.

...Or you're in AOL. Voting in polls in AOL seldom works if ever.

If it was cookies you would probably been automatically logged out; you would then have to log back in and your cookies would have been fresh. But it may also not be.

I'm on Aol, the only time I can ever seem to vote is when I pass a posting milestone; and then for less than a day.

It is AOL. I had this problem long back and looked into it.

Just open up an IE window to browse or at least for voting. If you can't because of restrictions then you just have to live w/it.

I'm curious to know why it is AOL that causes the problem. It's exceedingly frustrating to want to vote but have to go to a different computer (or sign on to MSN) to vote.

Scroll down to the bottom of the front page of the forums. There'll be a "logout" somewhere. Or click on "Post Reply" and near the top, there'll be "Logged in user: hbdragon88 [logout]"

Change the settings in the control panel to keep from automatically logged in to avoid that.

If you're using Internet Explorer go to "tools" then "Internet Options." Look for a "Delete Cookies" option and that will let you delete your cookies.

Then close IE and then reopen it to go to this site, login, and try voting. Keep in mind doing that will delete all your cookies.

Probably the Netscape Gecko engine I believe it uses, I know other versions have(at least of compuserve)

It could also be the way aol handles cookies, since it runs EVERYTHING.
