A few friends have sent me messages in the last couple days, saying they want to vote for my memoir on TCK Publishing Reader's Choice Awards but they are having problems with the site. First, I want to thank them for taking the time to support me...
I completely understand that voting can be difficult as I myself got frustrated when I tried to but couldn't see my book, Languages & Life Lessons, on their website.
They have listed a few helpful tips on how to vote, and these tips do provide lots of information, but unfortunately they didn't solve my problem, which was that I couldn't see any of the books listed in any category... even after I disabled the Pop-Up Blockers on my Chrome.
This was the screen I got every time I tried:
See? No books! All the categories of books were supposed to appear right between those two rows of stars but didn't...
Eventually, I thought of trying again using Firefox instead of Chrome, and I was in within seconds. All the books were listed right where they should be... and I found my book among other memoirs in category six. If you are having difficulty and you are using a browser other than Firefox, I suggest trying Firefox.
Once you find the book you want to vote for (using the arrows at the top of the dark screen with all the books), you can do so by using Twitter, Google, or Facebook to sign in. Apparently, sometimes, when you vote, nothing happens... or your screen may turn black. In this case, your vote has not gone through. TCK states: "If you are clicking on a book to vote but nothing is happening, scroll down the page and click “Change Vote” (it’s right above the “Share on Facebook” button)."
I hope my friends find these tips useful.
