    Is this one of these well-designed sites that only works with a
    microsoft browser? I can't see any way of voting there.

    You may be right. No voting method shows up in Mozilla 1.7.2
    It might be worth changing to a browser that can pretend to be Intentional
    Exploit, but I really can't be bothered.

    Works all right in Firefox 1.

    Mozilla 1.7.3. on Fedora Core 2 works fine.

    Works ok using Oregano2 on RiscOS. Click on vote and a pop up window
    appears with the choices.

    It's a javascript:something() link called "VOTE" to the right of
    "E-POLL
    TRANSPORT"
    (hmmm, looks like E-POLL is the same link).

    Works fine for me in firefox provided scripting is enabled.

    Duhhh, you're still using that 1980s Pr1me abort^W apology of an OS?
    Or has someone else taken over the name?

    After a lot of clicking at timesonline I've found a vote page. Looks like
    [censored] design rather than M$ orientation. Ooops, lost the page again. Ah
    well. Good job we don't have internet voting on real politics yet.

    Depends whether you regard midnight to be 24:00 or 00:00, I suppose.

    I attempted to vote last night from home but couldn't get it to work
    even with IE 6.0. I was about to vote at work but as you say the poll
    is now closed. At least the good guys won.

    http://www.riscos.com/faqs/spelling_and_pronunciation.htm says it
    (the (ex)Acorn OS, not the Pr1me one) is supposed to be spelt "RISC OS"
    not "RiscOS".

    Thanks, that workss fine (the previous "vote" button jumped straight to
    the results for me on netscape 7.2). I've just found another java page
    that netscape fails on, so I suspect the browser is at fault.
