    Looking at the properties of the vote button for Digger's mum there is the link

    Pride of Australia Vote Frame

    What this does is to display the Vote box only in a browser. I click on the vote box, refresh and repeat the process.

    Now I'm not certain about whether it actually votes or not but I expect someone more wiser than me may be able to answer that. It does change the text in the vote box to "Thanks for Voting!" which makes me think that an action has occurred and hopefully that is a voting action. The box stays in the one spot on the screen but the refresh rate is a lot faster as it isn't refreshing all the other stuff that was on the screen. The vote buttons for the others have a different URL link - so I think this may work.

    Also, it doesn't appear to create a cookie to limit the tries to 10 only.

    Yeah, I voted again and they have indeed removed the vote count. They probably realise what is going on. Good tactic I guess.

    More of an update. The link in my most recent post does appear to vote as I got this message after about 20-30 votes - "We have received too many votes from you, you will be unblocked after a cooling off period".

    280 votes today.

    I was asked " Is it ignorance or apathy?" I replied "I don't know and I don't care."

    No. It is how we are all seeing it.

    If this works I have done four lots today. The first three locked me out at around 50 votes. I have now(8.20 pm) just finished a stint that took me into the 90's.

    And when I first read this last night I tried it and got to about 90. Strange how the two that got to 90 were at night.

    Dave,

    I still have to work out how long it locks you out for but it is easy to rack up a a lot of votes quickly. It is interesting how you can get more done at night.
