Say, I have a question. When you’re voting, do you have to press the little voting button at the end of each page when you’re finished with the page, or can you just log all your votes in all the pages, and press one of the buttons when you’re done entirely? * * * An infinite number of rednecks in an infinite number of pickup trucks shooting an infinite number of shotguns at an infinite number of road signs will eventually produce all the world’s great works of literature in Braille. ---

> [@](#): > > Opal, no offense, honey, I appreciate all of the work you do for the TM Homepage, but you know (ok, I know, maybe you disagree) that it wasn’t appropriate to post threads in every single forum about this. It really is a MPSIMS thing. I disagree. “Best Laymen’s Explanations” in General Questions is not something that should be decided by a 100% MPSIMS group, etc. What the fucking ever. * * * – Teeming Millions: [http://fathom.org/teemingmillions](http://fathom.org/teemingmillions) “Meat flaps, yellow!” - DrainBead, naked co-ed Twister chat O p a l C a t [www.opalcat.com](http://www.opalcat.com) ---

Good to know for next time. I don’t give a fuck whether I hurt the admins or not. What good would it do? It would be a lot less hassle for me, it would free up some of my time and then I wouldn’t feel like I was wasting my time and effort doing something that most people were just going to bitch about anyway. As for “next time” there isn’t going to be a “next time”. The TMHP as a new-and-evolving site is over. I’m going to make the updates to the profiles and then I’m calling it quits. > [@](#): > > Say, I have a question.

Is there a possibility that only the first voted category on any page is being tallied? (E.g., if Page X is numbered 131 through 139 and a vote is cast for person A in category 132 and person B in category 137, is it possible that only the vote in 132 is recorded?)
