• Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

    Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…

    • Don't give offence
    • Don't take offence

    We now allow political discussion, but strongly suggest it takes place in the Steam Room, which is a private sub-forum within Café Life. It’s only accessible to Full Members.

After an unconscionable delay, our ONE PERFECT SENTENCE contest is now ready and waiting for you to vote… Remember, you can vote for as many entries as you like, but the magical software fairy will prevent you from voting for your own entries. That fairy’s a model of probity and rectitude, to be sure.

Any questions, bung ‘em in here.

Does the green tick mean you've voted for that entry?
If so, it's showing on something I didn't vote for. Strange.
 
Hi @AgentPete — I can't make more than one vote – is there a glitch or is it my Mac?
I've just tested this and there doesn't seem to be a problem at this end. Multiple votes are possible...

You shouldn't be able to see the green tick. It's a different feature, so pls ignore - if you can still see it :)

It's gone now.
I might actually vote for that one, but I wanted to take my time and consider all the entries carefully.
 
Okay, thanks, Pete. Here's what I get. I cleared my cache and rebooted and it still won't let me. Must be my Mac.
