Seems to work anyway but I get the following error popup every time a game is selected-

Same for audio selections, I had pinned and then selected from pins. Once I'm in the review panel I only see the first item I selected. and not the remaining nine.

Pingu are you also getting the error message 53xy83457 is getting, but when you select audio?

It is much better than the old system.

The deadline is listed as September 6th, despite beginning on September 7th

As I am here for the games I like that each category is separated so you can focus on the category you want to vote on. As far as I can see, there are also more entries nominated. This is nice as I often struggle to find 10 entries (in some months I wanted to select just 3 or 4).

I made a ticket for the deadline to get updated. Glad the rest worked well for you! Also for anyone wondering, you can choose less than ten entries for the month.

The system is intuitive. I especially appreciate how it displays the pinned submissions I have favorited at the top of the page, along with those I have rated highly. I really enjoy the new system, and I’m pleased to see that audio and art are also included. I have voted in all categories.

I am also getting the “There was a problem with your request” popup on mobile, and only one of my Movie selections is showing up when it’s time to rank :(

I’m using Firefox on iOS. I LOVE the experience so far though!

The invites didn't go out yet, you should be on there when they do though!

automated message needs some updating lawl, wrong date

I got that same date mistake. Debian 12: Firefox-ESR 115.

And on another note, I'm very much honoured to be picked for this months voting. Thank you tom!

The date bug in the PM will be fixed when next month's message goes out, hopefully it doesn't stop anyone from voting this month!

Just finished my voting and the experience was solid!

It was easy to look through all the entries and I like how you don't have to include all 10 of your favorites!

Favorite part was being able to drag the entries I picked so I can rank them!

This new voting system is really starting to grow on me! :3

I really like the new category system. This is overall a big improvement but if I try to select more than one movie I get a "Sorry, there was a problem with your request. Please try again later" message. It works fine for the other categories and for pins. I'm using Brave on Windows 10.

Thanks for reporting, I'm adding all the individual reports to a ticket! Do you recall anything you might have done different in your movie selection process (order of steps) compared to the other portals?

Give us the option to permanently opt out of voting. I'm sick of taking breaks from NG and seeing a pm, only for it to be P-bot

I tried the movie category first and got the error I mentioned, then did the other categories with no issues, went back to try the movie section again and pinned the movies I wanted to select first that time. Didn't make a difference either way. I just now tried unpinning them all, deselecting the one that worked, refreshing, and adding them all again which gave me the same error but then worked anyways. If I go back and try to add or remove anything it it goes back to only selecting the first pick but I can fix it by removing that one again. I managed to get the error to happen once in the art category but couldn't duplicate it.

The error message is gone and I can add things without issue thanks! Though now it keeps putting the one I had as first at the bottom of the list when I refresh or leave the page. Every other submission on the list can be moved around and they stay put. I tried adding them all again in the order I wanted but that particular submission keeps reverting to last.

Was really surprised but excited to get an invite to vote! :D

It was an easy to use system, allowed the chance to carefully look through the entries, loads of great options to choose from and when done, to reorganized them from 1-10. It also let your choose as many or as few as you wanted, and made the instructions for each clear and concise. It's also awesome to choose for each category.

Overall, it was great fun ^-^ It's a wonderful opportunity to help further support the artists on the website (not something many websites are doing these days, as most good art is buried under algorithms and trends x_x), regardless of how new or old they may be, how much or little art they have posted, and tries to focus on what makes good art.

Looking forward to seeing how others find it as well, and to see who wins this month ^-^ Thanks for the opportunity!
