[GeorginaS]

Nominations are now closed. What does that mean, exactly? Do you know if PF is short-listed? If so, which categories? What do we do now?

Information! I need information.

Please. :)

 

[Gokul43201]

We will know on the 22nd. See link in OP.

 

[GeorginaS]

Oh, okay then. Thanks, Gokul. I'll be patient.

There is no acknowledgment from the site when you vote. Hope the votes are being tallied properly. I am using Chrome. If someone with another browser gets different results, please let me know.

 

[The legend]

[The legend]

They only stay orange until you go back, then you will see the *averaged rating" from then on?

Before I voted, PF's rating was 4 stars. I logged into physics.org, clicked PF's link, and submitted my (5-star) vote in the banner at the top of the page. Then I closed the tab and navigated back to the page via Greg's link in this thread, and PF's rating showed 5 stars, but after hitting F5 to refresh the page, the rating went back to 4 stars.

I wish the votes were presented numerically.

Hey, it's a GUI built by physicists, what do you expect lol :D

 

[Lacy33]

OK, good luck.

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

Back to 5 stars!

 

[Borek]

Did my best, I will ask Marzena to do the same. But I have no idea whether I really voted for something or not

Also, no idea if I have not voted more than once... Is it possible they have left Manhattan sized hole in the middle of the voting procedure?

Perhaps you should add the Nov 7th deadline to the PF notice?

Back to 5 stars!

I'm so proud to be a member to this forum. Thanks for all the work you've done to make this a [URL]http://www.physics.org/assets/img/template/rating-5star.gif[/URL] site.

What if you vote more than once?
First, is it possible?
2. Would that cancel your original vote if it's not allowed?
3. And if it does cancel the vote, are you still able to vote again?

I know. It left me feeling empty and so full of unaswered questions.

Since you have to be logged-in to cast your vote, I'm assuming they keep track of which accounts have already voted.

Sure, but would they cancel my vote if I vote again, or they'd only dismiss the other votes I'd do?

Not sure.

I really don't like star rating systems. I want to see numbers, dangit!

 

[GeorginaS]

Okay, so, did I understand this correctly? We click the link, click on the PF thumbnail, which then brings us back to PF and we click on the five orange stars to give it five stars?

I hope that's how it works. I'd also like to know if we can vote twice.

While logged into their site, I searched "Physics Forums". Two of the results were for PF. One said that PF had 1,655 "hits" and the other said that PF had 507 "hits". And I couldn't figure out if PF had been nominated in two categories or what.

http://www.physics.org/explore-results-all.asp?q=Physics+Forum&x=0&y=0"

I have no clue if that link is going to work.

Okay, now, granted, I'm not a PhD, but shouldn't this be a little more straightforward? Anyhow, if anyone else figures out more, please share.

 

[Lacy33]

hmmm, i don't think so. what's the address for Physics in Action?

 

[The legend]

PF's leading as I see, the others are behind by 2 votes or 3 votes!

 

[Gokul43201]

From what I understand of the rules, you can only vote once for a particular site (though you can put in votes for more than one site in a category). My best guess is that repeat votes for a site are ignored (only the first vote counts) - second guessing is not allowed.

Correct.

One vote per site per person.

The two results were due to a redundancy in PHYSICS.ORG's own 'links database'. Their database contains two links to PF, one titled 'Physics Forums' and the second titled 'Physics Forum'. Presumably different people independently submitted links to PF with different descriptions and slightly different titles. This is unrelated to the present competition.
