Have you tried clicking on one of the links and then pressing F5? Might be reading from cache

Hmmm .......




The mock-up jobs aren't working for me.

I've tried Firefox, IE (ugh) Safari and Puffin.

Mock ups aren't showing on my Firefox or Chrome.

Oh well, my vote has been cast.

Even with CTRL+F5 it doesn't change the design in any way :(.

Well, this is a predicament.

I have to say this is a little rough.

Now, mods, don't get me wrong, you're doing a great job as all mods should.

From what I've seen, people can't see the designs in a mock up, which is fine, as obviously something isn't right yet.

The thing is, votes are still being placed, even with the mock ups not being able to be seen.

It's like we're voting the same way we did last time, based on the originally submitted artwork.

I think voting should be postponed until the mock ups are ready. After all, this is why we are essentially doing a 're-vote'.

If everybody can't see the full designs, this vote isn't fair.

As a side thought, I'll admit that I voted on the one I liked, too.

But it dawned on me that this was a vote based on what the mock ups look like.

That's all for now.

Thanks once again.

There seems to be an issue getting the new designs to display for some of you, so we've allowed you to change your board style.

Go to this link http://hevydevyforums.com/forums/ucp.php?i=165 and where you see "My board style" use the dropdown to change it to the mock-ups: Design2 and Design3. Be sure to click "submit" to save the changes, and once you go to Home you should see the designs.

Please remember that the the menu won't have those brackets and extra code, and please let us know if you still can't see the designs.

That works, thanks.

Changing my vote from #2 to #3. While I still really love the background of #2 on its own (the concept just represents the divided album perfectly), it just doesn't work for me behind a message board. The contrast is too irritating and it distracts me from the actual content. Could be better if it wouldn't go from full black to full white, but as it is, #3 wins for me.

For #3, though, the board itself should get a darker tone as well in my opinion. The bright grey doesn't fit too good.

Having seen design #3 in large format now, I noticed the binary in the background of the banner. What does it say? Just out of curiosity. :)

Everyone should be able to see the skins now :) Also remember that votes can be changed until the poll is closed. So if you couldn't see the designs, and now you can, please feel free to change your vote accordingly. You can change your mind as many times as you'd like up until voting ends.

Thank you everyone for all your patience and input! Sorry for the hiccups... I think we are finally on our way, and definitely with some good insight for future contests and activities :)
